My concern has always been that he would wear down with constant use. Of course you can't prove that unless you try him, but I'll need to see a *lot* more of this over months, not weeks, to become convinced.

 

You probably do the same thing looking at restaurant menu's. 

 

Finally the Cook comes out and says. "C'mon Man... It's Midnight... I want to go home" 

[Hrbowski]

 

I thought Esco played well enough last year to get a starting job out of ST this year. 

Fact of the matter is that Danny Santana played well last year also.

Yes he did. I thought Danny Should play as well. 

 

My Starting Lineup had 17 guys on it. 

 

Only 5 were Twins but 17 guys nonetheless. 

[Gibby]

Those Hooter's tables are all full tonight.

[sampleSizeOfOne]

Wait -- that would mean you have seen him normal?  Is that true?

 

...

Normal... as in plain and normal or normal to a plane?

 

I've already decided that I'm having Ice Cream tonight... It's just a question of when.

Someone's well prepared And thinking ahead! Portends well for the night.

[Riverbrian]

The Banner behind home plate says "Sister Hazel Postgame Concert September 19th" 

 

I guess the Fireworks were just too expensive and they had to go with something cheaper. 

 

All one thousand in attendance can stay after and hear them play "All For You" 15 times. 

[sampleSizeOfOne]

A horse walks in to a bar...

 

The bartender answer the phone and says "Frau Blücher?"

[DaveW]

Since July 1st Hunter has the worst batting average in all the AL (150 PA)

 

When Hicks gets back I hope the Twins do the right thing and relegate him to bench player (1-2 starts a week to platoon with Rosario)

What is Hicks' status currently?

[Squirrel]

Phew! Okay, let's get some back now!

[Gibby]

Esco homers again.

[DaveW]

What is Hicks' status currently?

as of two days ago he was hitting in the cage and running. Should be back once he is eligible

[sampleSizeOfOne]

There is a Mom and 2 Baby Deer outside my Patio Window right now.

Cool ain't it?

 

The other day, there were six deer in the back yard, 3 young w/spots (though they're gettin' better) and 3 adults, 1 with antlers (only a second prong)

 

The apple tree is overloaded. After talkin' to the neighbor the other day, i blame a huge bee's nest he's got in his backyard. And wish i'd been paying attention when a large black bear with 2 cubs came down the street a week or two ago...

I watch Nat Geo a lot. I didn't know I just had to open my curtains

 We have a pleisiosaur in the pond out back.

[TwinsCD]

4 runs isn't going to be enough to win this game.  I'm not sure I can trust Milone to get us thru the 6th and to the bullpen.

Now now. The neighbor kid may not be the handsomest on the block but that kind of crossed a line.

[Gibby]

Let's torture sealife with a bunch of grubby kids, dredged in sunscreen.

[sampleSizeOfOne]

I liked this but I'm sensing JB, Chitown and Always may respond.

I like unusual coincidences too.

 

I can't say i haven't wrecked a car, but i did it slowly in the fashion that is often referred to as "deferred maintenance" to the point that golly, it doesn't start. That's because you've got a brick under the hood. Ever hear of changing the oil?

 

That sort of thing anyway (as in a dramatization. That conversation didn't actually happen, i'm glad to say)

 

Wow... domes are dumb...

That's clever!

[Gibby]

  Not a good lookin kid.

[ashbury]

Does Plouffe make that pick? I think yes.

[ashbury]

  Not a good lookin kid.

What's the potion of choice tonight? Random question.

[David HK]

Ok, i'm playing the hero- crowded, jerky bus, laptop bag one shoulder, lesson crap on the other, but thumb- typing my loathing for all thgs tampa. I rwally wanna smoke this team today, for that rotten park in that rotten city, in front of their 12 rotten fans.

[jimbo92107]

WTF, Esco?? I thought he was going to bluff that throw, then he actually threw it home. Free base.

[DaveW]

Milone looks terrible these last few starts. Berrios needs to take his spot in the rotation next go around.

[Gibby]

Sweet Child of Vine.

[ashbury]

Bad D by Sano and Escobar leads to a run and a guy on second who should be at first. I also expected Buxton to perform a little more magic on that ball to center.

[ashbury]

He is not being aided by his defense this inning.

[Twinfan603]

If Milone is given a spot in the rotation next year it will be a serious problem. I know he's been good at times in the past, but at some point we just need to move on from soft-tossing back of the rotation guys.

[Riverbrian]

He didn't need to bluff... He could have just thrown it to second. The Runner was already half way to 2nd.
