That was some baseball smarts. As soon as I saw Escobar extend the run down I knew the Rangers were not paying enough attention to Rosario.

I have 2 lefty kids, and writing is a nightmare. I guess that's why they did it. I always have been as good with my left hand as my right. 

 

  I find it kind of weird that I use a knife with my right hand. I could have easily gone left with that too

I'm a natural lefty and I do a lot of things right-handed... Swing a golf club, swing a baseball bat, use scissors, use a knife, etc. It's pretty natural for a lefty to do a lot of things right-handed because we're forced to learn to work within a right-handed society.

 

But forcibly making a kid change their natural hand can cause some pretty significant issues. The brain is wired in a particular way for a reason... Trying to change that can disrupt all sorts of things.

But do you run with those scissors in your right hand?

 

Don't, k?

 I'm right handed only because the nuns at school switched me. I hit, golf, and shoot left in hockey.

 

I don't have that excuse, but I write right handed, and do most everything else left.

  Yeah, I agree. I don't know what it did to me, I'm kind of complex anyway. I achieved, but I certainly didn't take the easy road.

Almost as good as the playoff run with Harris, Tolbert and Punto.

 

I was going to make a crack that this would be Terry's press conference next December about who the returning veteran(s) would be for 2016 and to expect them for Twinsfest, but then I decided it would be just too sad and not right for Punto to return without Gardy being here.

He is not Sugar Shane Robinson, he is Sasquatch Shane Robinson. Reason being is he is elusive, plays bigger than he is and he is stealth in hiding out on the roster, like a cockroach you cannot rid yourself of or get rid of. Then when given the chance he springs to action during games and surprises with a hit here and there.

You can live with a Sasquatch on your roster as long as you do not have to many cockroaches living in the bullpen. Need to fumigate the cockroaches in the bullpen so we have a deeper bench.

I like drinking in the afternoon as well.
