Fire Colome into the same galaxy as Luplow just hit that ball.......might as well send Rocco and Falvine with him.

Looked like they were content with just getting the robes.

There is no way to prevent transmission to everyone and it really shouldn’t be the goal. In fact, I don’t think it really is. The goal is to prevent the transmission from everyone to the most vulnerable, all at the same time. Without a vaccine, immunity through transmission to a large segment of the population has to be accepted. It’s a matter of how long a period of time that should happen, and how to protect the vulnerable during that period. Stadiums full of people? Yeah hard to envision that anytime soon. Having said that, the right people, with widely available and easily implemented testing, with appropriate contact and contact tracing is theoretically possible, although likely not achievable.

Crushed by the news about John Prine. I was really looking forward to seeing him again at the WFF, but that's not the source of my sorrow, it;s just that he's gone. Hearing him do Angel from Montgomery with Bonnie Raitt will make me cry forever now.

I can't think of anything more appropriate. This song has always been so beautiful, especially sung by Bonnie Raitt. Prayers for John Prine.

I can attest to Rogers Centre in Toronto being a cesspool for bad beer. It's really too bad because Toronto and the surrounding region has some top rate craft breweries, Unfortunately most stadiums and rinks in Canada are often exclusively supplied by InBev due to the advertising dollars. Heading to Busch for the Cards home opener, looks like I'll have to wear some good kicks if I'm going to get some worthwhile beer.

Bi lateral leg weakness is no laughing matter Van, for shame my friend...

Too bad the Jets extended Maurice just prior to Boudreau getting fired. I would have loved ot see Gabby coach the Jets next season. This one definitely fits the adage, good goalies make good coaches, bad goalies get coaches fired.

This guy needs to rewrite his book....there is a new, new way to win it all.

This guy needs to re

Much ado about nothing? You’re kidding, right? I mean you have to be. AJ Hinch Alex Cora and Carlos Beltran probably don’t think it’s much ado about nothing.

The fact that this needs to be explained to anybody is ....well.....mind boggling.

If I were Bregman, I'd be terrified.

Jim Crane, “It didn’t impact the game” Jim Crane “ I didn’t say it didn’t impact the game”. You sir, are an idiot.

I'm guessing he's not too remorseful about the $21 million he cashed in on after his "career year". Ill gotten gains imo, bit of a fraud.

Umm.....title change?

They get the Twins #3 prospect, a hard throwing pitcher no less, and then say they want another top 10 prospect as well? I hope Falvine made sure Bloom heard the laughter before they hung up the phone.

Don’t care, semantics. All of them can pound sand.

And people wonder why most of us normal people hate the ****ing Red Sox. Entitled, self righteous twats. Bloom can pound sand, what a complete tool.

It’s also a bit naive to think Boston and LA hadn’t already talked to other teams ahead of the deal being made. If nothing but Graterol materialized beforehand, why would something better come along now? If Boston wants this deal done, they haven’t exactly approached it in a way that puts them in the drivers seat. If this indeed is a save face move to the fans, I’m not sure what the hell they are going to be able to pull out of the hat to appease them, they’ve kind of played their hand.

They aren’t correct.

When I first heard about this deal I wondered what add the Twins might be getting, not giving. A top 10’pick, get bent Boston. Don’t blink Falvine.

Berrios’s motivation will be to enhance his own value, period. If he accomplishes that it will help the Twins win another AL Central, they kind of go together. To think the Twins wouldn’t be one of the teams who he increases his value with, and not sign with them if their offer is fair to him, doesn’t make much sense. The Twins have the luxury of getting ahead of the process, other teams don’t.

Thinking Berrios is going to harbour ill feelings over 375K is as silly as thinking the Twins are cheap for not givingit to him. Money talks, if an extension works out with terms Berrios is happy with, there is no reason he won't stay, certainly not this reason.

Seems to me this is what trades for prospects look like, they aren't going to dig up a number 1 or 2 starter for that price. Free agency didn't work out for them like they would have liked so we have this, which improves their pitching now, which is desperately needed. Maeda can be an important piece for the Twins for the next couple or 3 years, you worry about replacing a Graterol type in the pipeline later. I like the deal.
