    We talked about this here recently. They have guys that are blocked at certain positions they should not hesitate to include in a deal if it's a good fit. If we trade some top prospects for rental types then we better not be just making 1 big trade and that's it we need 2 or 3 bold ones and...

    Crappy cell phone service

    I think good help in service industries is getting harder to come by across the board. Even in a non-service job like a corporate office environment its happening too. I am seeing more of people (especially the younger generations) "calling in" much more frequently than they did when I was in...

    He's been way more dialed in at the plate since the move to the leadoff spot. He's BA/OBP at leadoff has been .339/.454. Also is 13-15 stealing bases too. Been fun to watch him grow into the roll he is probably best suited for. Nothing wrong with having a guy with some power in the leadoff...

    The #1 seed in 1A has the same situation, lost in the 1st game and now has to win 2 in a row over the team that beat them to advance

    I guess the way I see it is it now becomes a best of 3 series with those 2 teams. The teams that got beat in the first round that now have to play the team that beat them have to win 2 straight against them in order to advance. As a fan not sure how I like that but I would guess the girls...

    That's going to be the big "what if" of this season. What sucks too is that 1 guy we were not necessarily counting on playing a big part coming into the season like he did was Ben Brown who had a breakout as probably our best starter before he got hurt. Think of the shape this rotation could...

    Driving rant: PLEASE stop this!!

    Watched someone driving a large expensive looking SUV today try to pull into a parallel parking spot in downtown Des Moines today by turning left across traffic into the spot while putting the front end up over the curb. They cranked it around a few times to straighten out while blocking the...

    Will see how it works out before I form an opinion. Had a family member whose team lost yesterday so they at least have a chance to play back in. But it's a tough path back if you lose because you have to win 4 games in 2 days to make it all the back to the championship and they likely will...

    Who wrote the marital rights laws in Iowa?

    If you don't have a prenup then everything is pretty much fair game in a divorce settlement and if kids are involved it will likely be even more complicated. Have heard of stories where both parties were reasonable and just came to a settlement on everything with little argument because they...

    Exactly. I just think of all the years we have hesistated to pull the trigger on some deals because of the prospects that would have left and then look at how some of those guys fizzled out and we cut or traded for next to nothing. If you can improve your team now you do it and hope the...

    I'm not completely against moving Ballesteros to be honest. He's a bit limited on what his long term role may be if he can consistently hit at the big league level. Is he a DH or can he be adequate at catcher? Personally if you are going to invest in a player that is going to be nothing more...

    I don't expect Jed to be a big spender at the deadline, probably will look a lot like last season's deadline I would guess. The reason I say that is I don't think our farm system is as enticing as some here think it is to other teams and the best trade chips we do have I see Jed being reluctant...

    Fertilizing my lawn for initial spring application

    I don't water my lawn at all and this is the first time in the past few years its stayed nice and green this far into the summer. Think having some timely rains have sure helped as we did get just under 5 inches over 2 nights the other week and I do like to let it grow a little long before I...

    Really hope Nico is not dealing with some undisclosed nagging injury like he did a few years ago that they finally disclosed he had been playing hurt and needed offseason surgery. He started the season well but has really been in a funk since May. Our offense just seems to go hot at cold...

    I doubt he sticks around long. As soon as Milner is healthy Pomeranz probably will be DFA. Some of the guys in the bullpen right now are just placeholders till we can get some relievers healthy. Was worth a shot to see if we could catch lightning in a bottle twice with him but doesn't look...
