Nunez helmet came off enroute to first, but it was for naught...

Wonder if he's excited for the game?

 

He better be... Not because of the Yankees... But because he doesn't play everyday and he'd like to. 

 

If I was Nunez... Anytime I was penciled into the starting lineup. I'd be out of my skin in excitement. 

 

Of course... At my age... I get excited when people ask me to do anything that doesn't require lifting furniture.

I think the most disappointing part of Santana's 2015 has been his routine boots. 

 

If Santana could just field the position... I wouldn't worry about the batting average as much. 

 

Ultimately... With Plouffe and Sano handling 3B for awhile and Dozier and Mauer locked in for awhile.

 

I think the Twins could afford to think about an elite glove at SS. Santana could be that guy but he's not being that guy right now.

I think the comma has me confused...

Poof hates balls hit a you?

 

I find commas confusing as well... So I've decided to never use them.

So... which other Yankees impress ya with their defense?

 

In all seriousness... Gardner and Ellsbury can play and after that... Headley can be solid but not spectacular. Drew is OK at a new position but it's not like there is anyone I would call elite. 

 

In the Jinx context that I believe you are looking for...

 

Let's pick an OF so we get more bang for our buck. I think BELTRAN IS AMAZING.

So this is why you always use ellipses?

 

Yep... That and the fact that one period... is just not enough... to stop me.

I still feel strange that people don't ask me to move furniture so often for the past decade...

 

Ever since most of my college friends moved out of town, no one else remembers i like moving heavy things.

 

But yeah, excitement should come with the job, as it were.

He did pretty good catching Hicks' sac fly on Friday, if my memory serves...

 

Not too hard, but still it coulda made it over his he hadn't been on it.

Royals looking pretty good now with Cueto

 

It cost the Royals their #4 ranked Prospect. Finnigan... A guy who may replace Chapman as closer if they move Chapman. 

 

But all in all... It's not like Royals gave the shirt off their backs. 

 

The Twins should be able to get something decent done without killing the farm.
