    So are you taking bets on this and if so what odds are you giving? :) Might as well have action on this action, seems reasonable.

    MLB: ***2024 Minnesota Twins***

    I agree Cruz trade was a win (and I stated as much) - although Ryan is not the 1-2 alot of people want/claim him to be. I totally disagree on Escobar being a huge win. Maybe in 4 yrs if Duran continues with how he is playing now, but we gave up an All-Star who was again an All-Star after he...

    MLB: ***2024 Minnesota Twins***

    Well we haven't seen much return for the 'sale' of Pressley or Berrios. Escobar trade might end up being a positive depending upon how long Duran lasts (but 3rd base has been a weakness since Escobar left). Cruz trade was obviously positive, but Ryan right now is no better than a #3.

    MLB: ***2024 Minnesota Twins***

    So did the Reds with Mahle. The Gray trade is a slight plus depending on where the comp pick lands (as they traded a 1st rounder to get him and will get back probably a 2nd rounder).

    MLB: ***2024 Minnesota Twins***

    I meant the other Lopez (Orioles). The Miami trade hopefully is a wash.

    MLB: ***2024 Minnesota Twins***

    While this Twins team is going nowhere and trades are the right move, I don't want this FO anywhere near the trade phoneline after the disaster that was last year (Mahle Trade, Paddock Trade, Lopez Trade). I simply don't trust them to properly evaluate incoming talent (or outgoing talent for...

    How bad is Allegiant?

    We flew this route last November. Worked great for a cheap flight to NYC. Only problem is it is a haul into Manhattan (train) Penn station. Uber is at least $50-60 bucks or more depending on traffic.

    Wealth Shift

    I have found this migration fascinating. People (in droves) moving south as we are in the throes of climate change. Average temp is only going to increase in South East/South West with water becoming a big issue in the Southwest. Texas having record heat which is buckling their tired/old...

    MLB: ***2024 Minnesota Twins***

    Who are the free agents on the team that are helping to produce these incredible results? Farmer? Correa? Gallo? Solano? Castro? Vasquez? None of these 'Free Agents' are world beaters nor are making much of a difference on this years team. I stand by my statement that having a monkey in...

    MLB: ***2024 Minnesota Twins***

    Consider the possibility of the Twins if none of the Trades/Moves Falvine have made occurred since they were hired. No Rocco, Molitor as manager. No Kepler extension. No Sano extension. No Pressley Trade. No Donaldson deal. No Buxton extension. No Correa signing(s). None of it. One more...

    Places to kayak

    Honestly either of those items looks better than canoeing/kayaking almost all of the suggested Iowa waterways (30+ yrs ago maybe a different story, but definitely not now). MN/WI/MI are much preferred and the water quality is typically very good.

    5G Home Internet

    I had TMobile starting in May 2021 and switched to Verizon in Jan 2023. At the start we would get speeds of about 150-175mg with TMobile, but starting last summer starting having significant issues with access and speed (we live near 3 towers and one of the towers went down last summer and did...

    Favorite Sandwich Shop?

    Bo Did's is the bomb. I'm from central MN and have had countless Bo Did subs. Great hippy vibe as well. Most memorable time at Bo Diddley's was after bar one Thursday - big line, had just ordered our food when a huge biker dude yells to the whole place "Anyone mind if we put in Meatloaf...

    Don't Expect Many If Any Changes In Offense

    I am doing just fine - thanks for asking. And pleasantly surprised how many changes have occurred. OL coach I am thrilled about, as well as Gordon leaving for SF. Hopefully CMC will hire a strong QB coach to fill the role (time will tell). I am indifferent to Scheelhaase move - just have to...
