    Like I mentioned in another post, I generally don't see them in a negative light. They're just not something that interests me. I'd find them more of an annoyance than useful if I did use them, which is why I don't. I get annoyed enough when coworkers are getting notifications and whatnot during the workday. Time and place. Other than that, if you enjoy that stuff, knock yourself out. You'll get no complaints from me.

    That may be great for some, but that would just drive me nuts. If I'm in a position where up to the minute updates wouldn't be bothersome altogether, I'm either already watching the game or following along close enough that up to the minute updates are useless. All other times, I don't want to be constantly bothered by notifications or updates. I don't need to have up to the minute information at all times. I don't want up to the minute information at all times. As much as I love sports, I simply have other things that take priority during most of my day. I'll get the information I want when I have time to get it.

    That wouldn't work for me. My wife is a hold out as well. We somehow found each other in the days of MySpace without actually having a MySpace account. We keep in touch with the people that we want to keep in touch with by actually talking to them on the phone (gasp!), emailing, or even meeting up somewhere. Even for 35 year olds like ourselves, it's amazing how foreign a concept those things are among our peers. Generally, we have no ill will towards social media, we just aren't interested in it.

    As a social media hold out, I've survived just fine. I don't feel like I'm missing a thing and comments like these simply reinforce that. This is as close as I come to social media, and I'm okay with that.

    A friend tells me that a backwards thong is no laughing matter.

    Of those options, I like 2 the best and it is what I would look for in a trade. I just think that an established arm would be too expensive. I also really like the idea of most of the young guys potentially peaking at the same time. Bringing in an almost ready minor league SP would fit that bill.

    Call me a lemming, but I also tip my cap to Wiel. Hard to top a 5-for-5 day at the plate.

    Depending on the bartender, ordering a Slippery Nipple could work out for you. ...Or go horribly wrong.

    I've actually seen Charo. She was performing on a cruise that my wife and I were on. I had little desire to see her, but my wife really wanted to go so of course we went. I didn't realize she played guitar either. I have to say that I came away really impressed with her classical guitar skills. I didn't care much for the rest of it, but I did really enjoy her musical talents.

    I wish you'd keep pictures of Uranus to yourself... Yes, I am aware that isn't Uranus.

    In my experience, they're even pretty inconsistent on what they're consistent on.

    I've been to the Trop a handful of times. It's a complete dump, worse than the Metrodome. Horrible atmosphere to watch a game in. I legitimately feel bad for the players, particularly Rays players that have to deal with it every home game.

    Attendance seems similar too.

    DanSan on the bench... Don't ouch that either.

    Too many Germans in MN. They're on vacation!

    Perturbed? Nah, I'm extremely amused at your expense! I'm laughing with you though.

    I'm amazed that you can still type after the severe burn you just received!

    Oh you...

    My wife and I do that too. We buy a book now and bring it in with us. I've kept all of the old scorebooks. It's fun to go back and see some of the bigger feats that we've seen; cycles, monumental hits, etc.

    That's awesome! My dad was going through some of his old Sporting News bins that he's kept since he was a kid and found a program from Bob Gibson day in StL that is in great shape. Inside, there was an All-Star ballot from that year that is also in great condition and not punched at all. He gave them both to me. The interwebs tell me that Gibson had his number retired in September, so I don't know if my dad was at a couple of games that year or not. He lived in southeastern Iowa at the time, so it's possible.

    Great thread idea! I have a partial season ticket plan. I always get a little excited when the paper tickets come in the mail in the spring. I don't even keep most of them anymore though, so it's a bit weird that I still get excited. I suppose it's still 9 year old me giddy about a baseball game. I do tend to keep games for special events or home openers and whatnot, but generally they're discarded. I've used the digital tickets a few times. It's slick, but it's not the same. I do like how easy it is to transfer tickets if I need to. Each of us can get to the game when we can instead of trying to coordinate busy schedules. Generally, I do still like using the physical ticket. For the ASG, I was pretty anal about protecting those tickets. I kept them in a binder and carried it around in a messenger bag the whole weekend. I've got them framed at home now. Part of me really enjoyed the hassle I was putting myself through.

    I was just going to say that it was the path towards another trip through waivers.

    Judging by who's done most of the damage, Rochester, New York mostly.

    I'll take it for granted when we don't have to point out when it happens anymore.

    Which of today's trades did the Twins pick up this Berrios guy?
