  1. Twins have 2 players with an average over .270. .270!!!! If we get shelled I may wear a hoodie to Fanfest/Game.
  2. So Hamiltown, where is your group sitting? Guess I'll try and get tickets near there, so I can feel kind of cool.
  3. Grats to Mauer. Prince got 2 weeks off work, so should he.
  4. I have to disagree. They do letters very well, and much cheaper than any private company can do it. IMO, their biggest problem is they are trying to compete with the companies in packages. If they rented out their package delivery services, they could get out of the red quickly.
  5. I'm so jaded that I wouldn't be surprised if anyone from any team was on PED's. Past or present.
  6. Yeah, when I've visited those communities that have community mailboxes, I laughed when I saw someone pull out of his driveway in his car, down 3 houses to the mailbox, get his mail, then drive back. I threw some yard clippings on the driveway to get a reaction.
  7. Hell no. That is reserved for Cano. And maybe Jeter.
  8. IMO, Downs is probably the biggest trade chip we have right now. A lefty reliever is something that contenders will be looking for. Also, you have to look at how the team is contructed. Pujols and Hamilton are not going anywhere. Trout can yield us pretty much an entire farm system, but chances are, unless he shows that he will absolutely not re-sign with the Angels, he's not going to be moved. Shuck is not a starting outfielder. He would be better off on the bench. Same with Cowgill. So that's at least some bench depth. That leaves Bourjos and Calhoun. having one as bench depth would be nice. But if one had to go, I would think teams would give more for Calhoun. Just because he has 6 years of control left, where Bourjos is entering into expensive arbitration years. Trumbo is not going to be traded, because Pujols can't play the field. There is no one else that can play firstbase on a regular basis. This is a lack of depth issue. Which brings us to 2b, SS and 3B. Again, lack of depth leads us to them being on the not going to be traded list. As for starting pitching. Seeing as what Texas just paid for a rental starter, you keep everything you have. Except for maybe Blanton. But who would trade for him anyways? You try to re-sign Vargas, and you also keep Hanson. That would put 4 in the rotation, and the last spot between Williams and Richards, and since we can't get rid of him, Blanton. You also have to consider that starting pitching is just horrible this offseason in regards to free agents. So filling a hole will be difficult. Except for a few relievers, I don't see much changing between now and next season.
  9. Would be sweet if he now gets busted in the Biogenesis scandal.
  10. Community box's have been around for years. Especially in newer neighborhoods. So I can see why they'd want to go this direction. It would take some adjusting, but taking a walk is good for you.
  11. LOL Aaron Rodgers, who ‘put my salary on’ Ryan Braun being clean, probably regrets that now Wonder if he goes all Donald Trump on Rodgers?
  12. SoCal Rally for Trayvon Martin Turns Violent
  13. So, got to ask. Was the PED's he used kosher?
  14. Man, seeing that deal, I wish the Angels would have offered something to the Rangers. Prior to this year, Olt was looking real good as a 3B. And Edwards looks like one of those future bets like the Angels gave up for their rentals.
  15. As one of the articles stated, the Union will not defend those that the evidence is clearly pointing to as guilty. This evidence against him must be pretty good for him to just accept it.
  16. A blurb or two from a few articles. http://movies.yahoo.com/blogs/movie-talk/iron-man-3-sets-stage-marvel-phase-two-192001912.html http://www.totalfilm.com/news/kevin-feige-confirms-thanos-will-appear-in-guardians-of-the-galaxy-comic-con-2013 So I'm thinking that perhaps the end of Avengers wasn't a preview of Avengers, but of Guradians of the Universe.
  17. Didn't you get kicked out along with Baseball Mom's kids a few years back?
  18. After Detroit, Who's Next? Very interesting read about Detroit's bankrupcy and other cities in danger. What a mess.
  19. Dang, that was gnar. If people didn't get away from that guy when the police were there, it would have caused a lot more damage.
  20. DC's Superman-Batman Joint Movie: Desperation or Movie Domination? Love this quote.
  21. Oh, and can we get a suite, and have a group of seats in the general area? I've seen some cheap seats where we will probably get a suite.
  22. I'm up for a suite this year. But will go group if that's what everyone else wants.
