Sorry I worded that wrong I guess. I'm originally from St Paul and now in Toronto. It's one hell of a city so the pot shots are kind of silly. Minne is tiny in comparison to Toronto. I'm forever a Twins fan however.

You sound just like a Torontonian.

[Copperfield]

Welcome to the board!

Thanks! This series has interested me for obvious reasons.

[twinsnorth49]

 

In bowling, that's called an "Andy Veripapa."

 

12 strikes in a row, just not in the same game.  

A quadruple Turkey? Also called luck.

Yes, yes, welcome of course........Toronto, mutter, mutter........Blue Jays, grumble, grumble.

For some folk, I s'pose.

For some folk, I s'pose.

If you're referring to me, there isn't enough luck in the world, one is an accomplishment.

 

If you mean you.........show off.

You don't like Toronto as a city, or as the home of the Blue Jays, or what?

I'll take "or what" for $1000 Alex.

Hmm.

Andy Veripappa..... Life is a 7-10 split.

 

Everything I know, I learned from M*A*S*H.

I had to check Bowling-Reference.com for that.

**** the Leafs and everyone and everything associated with them.

[twinsnorth49]

 

Hmm.

What's your feelings on New York and the Yankees?

[zchrz]

 

Are there any catchers at all that will make it on the waiver wire that will fall to the Twins to give Suzuki some competition for playing time? Hermann is just good enough to replace Fryer. 

Pinto has been on the 7 day concussion list and should be moved to the 60 day DL(not going to be playing for the Twins this year) I doubt AJ Pierzynski would ever make it to the Twins because of the National league getting to choose first and AJ is working on a cheap contract. Sure would be nice to get someone to push Suzuki to the bench a little more and give the manager some offensive options.

 

I doubt it Eric Fryer and Chris Hermann are the kind of catchers available at this point.  At least there are some prospects in the SS pipeline, they really need to address catcher in the off season because it is a gaping void in the organization.

Amen, someone who understands.

The Leafs? Are you a Senators fan?

[twinsnorth49]

Seems like the plate approach tonight is, "Your guess is as good as mine".

[twinsnorth49]

 

The Leafs? Are you a Senators fan?

No such thing.

[Squirrel]

Late to the party … too much work lately … and I'm not going back to read today's threads and yesterday's … but what is Revere doing in LF? I mean, he now has the bat of a corner outfielder?

[Squirrel]

 

No such thing.

Hey … I was, sort of, for a brief moment in time … even got to meet Alexi Yashin. (That was the time frame I was in Ottawa.)

[twinsnorth49]

**** this is disgraceful.

[ScrapTheNickname]

 

What's your feelings on New York and the Yankees?

I hate the Yankees.

Love New York.

One doesn't have a lot to do with the other.

Sorry to hear that.....on a few levels.

He has the arm of a left fielder, apparently.

[Gibby]

I thought I hit a manatee while tooling around Indian River, It was Hrbeck swimming laps.

Nah.. pretty much the only place to hide his noodle arm.

It was tongue in cheek.

Yeah … well … at the time he was kind of hot. But I gave the autographed jersey I bot to my bro-in-law who is a true hockey fan … he liked it … but he cheers on real times, like the Blackhawks!

 

This one's for always33:

Okay. Didn't see your tongue in there. Sorry.
