I am skeptical about the future of both of these guys, but at least I don't have to worry about it 'cause the Twins certainly aren't signing them.

I wish I was a Twins fan. They can't spend, but their players seem to have a real affinity for the organization and MN in general. They always exceed expectations. It must be nice.

No reaction to this bombshell yet, but it is just the calm before the storm.

Weed, NotBob, other Mets fans:

This Is Your Chance. In 500 words or less, make the case for TM to leave the rich, soulless, and ultimately unsatisfying world of Yankee Nation and move on over to the gentler, kinder and better environs of Shea. You may invoke unicorns in your pitch, but be forewarned that the use of derogatory terms directed at Yankee organizations and/or fans, whether "asshole" or otherwise, will probably be counterproductive.

You have to hand it to the Pohlads. By slashing the payroll and getting the league to threaten contraction they created a really organization-friendly set of expectations. No one expects them to pay Santana $25 mil a year, so there is no backlash for trading him, or for not signing Hunter to a huge deal.

The fans are happy as long as they keep scouting well, coming up with exciting young players, and being in the hunt in the division.

'cause it is better to be rich, soulless, ultimately unsatifsying and cursed?

Never happen. If I were to ever leave, it would be for the Twins, whose games I've actually attended. But I'm die-hard. If I can live through Steinbrenner in the 80s there is nothing that could drive me away from the Yankees.

I could never cheer for the Mets. Ever.

Not only that, but they always offer what sounds like a big contract to their soon-to-be-departing players and talk like they're offering as much as they possibly can, knowing full well they'll be overwhelmed in 3 days by a big market team. So the fans never get that upset.

And they should be. It's fun watching young players develop and grow (especially good ones and you guys have a great farm system). If you guys would break the bank when things look good for a free agent for a run every now and then, it would be perfect.

Yeah. Although I think their runs are more likely to come from a mid-level free agent who out performs expectations (ala Chili Davis in 2001) than from a top flight free agent. They have been trying for that but recently haven't been able to even get middling performance from their free agent signings (see, e.g. Rondell White, Mike Lamb, and Livan Hernandez, although he started last season hot).

Can anyone think of a good patent lawyer who would talk to me over the back fence?

How about one who isn't so good?

Depends. Is there a small hole in the fence? We might know someone.

i'm on pins and needles. i remember Thurgreed said saying you have sex with some sock's wife was old and out of style, but Penske keeps saying it, and saying it. I'm afraid people are laughing behind my back because i don't respond, but if i do respond, then i might be whiffing, like if Penske is being ironic.

I am so confused:confused::confused:

can you help me?

I thought we confirmed last week that this place is sick with not so good patent lawyers.

If there is one thing about which I am completely certain, it is that I cannot help you.
