    Just raised holy hell with Midco this morning and demanded a $15 per month reduction in my bill, they are crediting my account.  If they don't want to provide Bally North and Twins games then they are not charging me for it.

    Midco better get this figured out with Bally North.  Losing that station is not an option and I will drop them entirely and move to a different service.  They are making it easier to do so every day.

    We went to the streaming services a while back and it was the right move.  I used to watch every game, and would love to still do so, but the cost for all the sports channels through Midco is ridiculous, and if they don't have Bally it makes it more ridiculous.        

  2. The crazy part is that now they've got their bullpen in order with Duran coming back.  And innings 7-9 should be accounted for in tight ball games.  The starting pitcher just gets it to the 6th at the least in a tie or with a lead and you should be able to take most games to the end.  You've got bridge guys too like Sands, Funderburk, Jackson, Okert, with Bowman getting the DFA or assignment.

    Maybe a return of Varland to the bullpen if he can't get starting figured out. 

  3. Better get the job done sooner than later in the big boy world of professional sports.  Overachieve one year, and ending up where you likely should end up based on your talent ends up costing you your job.

    Either way, I'm sure he has some buy out money from that contract headed his way.  

  4. Hey!  A 5 game streak with no Correa, Royce, Duran, and Pablo hasn't pitched overly great.

    Rocco letting Ober go into the 8th inning surprised me, but love seeing the starters get more leash so the bullpen doesn't get destroyed on the nightly.  

  5. Okay, so we drafted the savior of the franchise!  Thank God!

    I may be more excited about Turner, but we officially have drafted our next QB to lead the franchise.  Please....let this one be it.....with no offense to Christian Ponder, Kellen Mond, TarVar, Jaren Hall, Nate Stanley, Teddy B, JD Booty, Tyler Thigpen, Chad May, Gino Torretta, and any other names I'm forgetting who weren't some how a diamond in the rough player with the potential to lead a franchise....

    Left Brad Johnson and Daunte off the list because they were okay for periods of time.

    I thought a couple years ago the White Sox were an up and coming team. I’m having my doubts :D

    We think things are going awfully in Minnesota, and the Sox show up and say "hold my beer".

    What is the background there?

    Owner of Hoist hockey in South Fargo, it is a hockey training facility with all kinds of toys.  Believe his kids play in the Angels Program.  Rumor has it he is taking over the H.A. Thompson rink in North Fargo, and the Bizen will play games there, as they currently play in Moorhead.

    I'd imagine if he got a Tier 1 team they'd play out of that arena as well.

    Nope.....can't keep burying Perron in favor of Kunz. Kunz has 30 total points so far in his career at UND. Again DU had 11 guys with 30+ points this past season. Just for one season I'd like to see this coaching staff let their top talent roll. Let them develop together. 

    If Perron puts it together on the d zone side of things this line could roll.  Watching Mac on the power play last night for the Force...just tremendous vision and really an understanding of the timing of the entire operation.

    109 of 308 on the Portal list are "Sr", meaning guys with a Covid year to burn. That's the last group with the extra (Covid) year. 

    Finally.....finally.....however I've put in a request to play out my Covid season as the team needs a 4th or 5th practice goaltender.
