Your first post, with the typo, had me wondering.

Nah, that was just me fat fingering a phone screen.

What was it?

[Brock Beauchamp]

I don't even remember at this point. I fixed it shortly after I posted.

Just an unamusing one-character typo that I was going to hang him mercilessly for anyway, for reasons I used to remember before I drank a beer of my own.

Hmm.  Anyway, we've all (Bark, Bowsk, and me, that is) been having problems with not being able to fully access our own accounts. You're the clever IT guy. Can you fix it one of these days (if you're not too busy - I would suppose that this falls quite low on the necessary things to be done list)?

 

Okay, I did it. Ban me now.

Ash, what did he say? You remember. You haven't been drinking.

You are incorrigible. And where'd you guys get all that beer anyway? I was the hostess here, and I didn't serve any alcoholic beverages. I also have two trained police dogs and two trained drug sniffers who would have caught you. Explain yourselves, sirs, before you get kicked off this thread and banned.

 

Heavens, what would we do then? It figures that my brother who is an IT guy is the only one who isn't a Twins fan.

So, you've picked up the art of whispering after one replies? Well, what's your last name? I'll friend you on Facebook and let you know. I'd like to lose this account. I can't seem to figure out how to delete it, and this is the friendliest pack of liberals I've ever met. I hate you so much, I can't stand the thought of one more night of camping on a game thread. It's kind of an addiction. I don't know how to stop it, and the rehab centers won't accept me.

You wish you knew how to quit us, you're saying.

Since I can no longer post my own pictures.

 

This is the best I have...

 

The A's must be destroyed.

Destroyed. Good. And. Proper.

[Squirrel]

Well, now, tomorrow I'll have to come back and like this since I agree. I think I'll have to start at page 16 and like every post, and then when I go on to Bowsk's thread, I'll click "like," and it will pull up that evil little window that tells me I filled my quota. Time to contact Brock. He needs to up the number.

You and glunn must have some of the same genetic material for pushing like buttons.

[Willihammer]

Looks like Gibson had another, more-walks-than-strikeouts outing. He has 15 walks to 11 strikesouts. How long can he keep this up?

I wonder if any pitcher with appreciable innings pitched finished a season with more walks than strikeouts

[Platoon]

Assumptions are dangerous things, my friend.

It's kind of like thinking your wife doesn't read your email, or check you CC statement! :).

[Platoon]

No. Not Feigner either. Nor Haskell. Bauer.

 

/ didn't see that RB had answered in the meantime

Eddie Feigner, The King. Great pitcher, or greatest pitcher ever. My next door neighbor led off a game against him with a single, and thought that Feigner was overrated. It proved to be another opinion based on a small sample size!

[Platoon]

The Twins are winning without two of their very high priced free agent pitchers. (Nolasco hasn't done anything to impress)

 

The bullpen seems to be able to put up a few zeroes all of a sudden.

 

The bats seem not to care how many runs the starting pitching gives up, because they'll tag the opposing pitcher for even more.

 

Where did these Twins come from?

 

Your first paragraph actually answered the question. Why are they now winning? Well that and averaging like 26 runs a game.

[Platoon]

I also have two trained police dogs and two trained drug sniffers who would have caught you. If you put 4 dogs in the same room, or in this case on the same thread, all they will sniff is each other!

Right up there with Satchel Paige, to be sure. I do wish I'd had a chance to see The King and His Court in person..

[Patrick Midthun]

 

So when was the last Twins altercation? Not counting the internal Liriano one! Lol

Um... I think Delmon Young and Jose Mijares, but that was internal also! LOL.
