[Willihammer]

Hey, we earned a couple.

 

In a way

Wow, that was out of the blue.

Just think he's got 3 of them .... sometime his attention has to be diverted from one or two.

 

I've been drilling into them the need to achieve goals before getting all domestic. I had a family when I started my career. It made it a million times harder.

I wonder if that means Pinto goes to AAA

[stringer bell]

I appreciate that Dozier is trying to bring in the 3B, but he's been a lousy bunter so far this year.

Well, you've got one out of college, one in college and one about to start, is that right?

 

Must be doing something right.

Wow, Wild Card here we come!

[stringer bell]

Mauer is overdue for a big hit.

2 out of college, and with jobs. Yay!

[JB_Iowa]

It does look like the Twins are taking Pohlad's directive to win seriously.

 

Wonder if this means we could be seeing some other changes? (looking at you, Kubel; also the whole Correia drama).

[JB_Iowa]

2 out of college, and with jobs. Yay!

 

Even better!

[Gibby]

Very dramatic out for Joe.

[Squirrel]

I love TK, but he sounds like he's narrating a Wonder Years episode.

 

Worse than that ... he's putting me to sleep. I don't doubt his knowledge, but if he ever got out of monotone ...

[JB_Iowa]

It doesn't help that its overcast, gloomy and a perfect nap day, too.

The only time I saw him animated, he had a bad case of shingles.

I'm going on a cooking binge as soon as the game ends. Everyone has been out volunteering at some race, somewhere in MN. They will be hungry when they get home.

More like Kubes is gone; or Parms is.

[Gibby]

I hope not.

Someone should ask him why he named Hawkins closer in 2001. That was as upset as I've ever heard him.

[Squirrel]

I hope not.

 

Well, then, who? Or else Arcia is headed to the DL. But then who goes when Fuld is up? Or Santana back to AAA? Then who plays center other than Hicks?

[Gibby]

I guess I'm just not as sold on Pinto as most.

[Squirrel]

a perfect nap day

 

Wish you hadn't suggested that ... too much to get done before I have to be at work ... and ... <yaaaaaaawn> ... mmm, sleepy .... <mumble>

[Squirrel]

I guess I'm just not as sold on Pinto as most.

 

Well, Pinto going down would be a different issue as then you'd have to call someone up to be the back-up catcher. That's not who Morales will replace. Of course, I'm assuming Morales will have to get into ready shape somewhere first.

My sleepy noises are probably grosser that that.

[JB_Iowa]

I think we could be seeing several changes coming but I'm not sure Pinto will be one of them.

 

Gotta have a 2nd catcher ... and I think Herrmann is still on the DL and I'm not sure they want to bring up Fryer.

[JB_Iowa]

I'm contemplating whether it would be dog abuse to harass my dog enough so that she stays awake for the rest of the day ...

 

this wanting to go outside and play at 2 a.m. is ridiculous.

I thought the Pinto going down issue was poo poo'd threads ago.

I harass mine about 5 miles a day. She sleeps like a baby.

Mauer couldn't get an rbi if the runner was halfway between 3rd and home.
