I love seeing fat Pedro Martinez on MLB network. He's looking more and more like Cleveland from family guy every time I see him

[wsnydes]

Soooo...just IGNORE the pro tip, huh?

 

Whatever.

Some men you just can't reach.

[mikeee]

Brian Dozier: Rondon Killer.

 

I suspect Mr. Dozier might meet Mr. HighAndTight next time he faces Rondon.

Ugh I love her

She seems to have aimed a bit higher than a guy who sits around in his underpants, drinking $14/case local swill, eating leftover pizza, and following a sub .350 baseball team.

 

Sorry to break it to you.

 

She is purty though.

Whatever. Women and their stupid standards. What's HE got that I don't?!

I once got laid off the day after Thanksgiving. My reward was getting thrown onto a roof in Detroit Lakes framing in the middle of January. Of course, I got my current office job when it started to warm up.

I got laid off the week before Christmas, shortly after my car ate its transmission. Did I mention I'd just had to move out because the Mrs. had found someone else? To top it off, the President of the Company came through just before Christmas, after the layoff notice had gone up, to wish everyone a Merry Christmas and ask how everyone was doing. 

 

Overall, I think I did very well when I told the president of the company exactly how I was doing. Only one swear word and it wasn't even a big one.

Ok, hands up, who saw that coming yesterday eh?

 

Well the shock waves have subsided somewhat and the magnitude of the news is starting to sink in. On the field it was a matter of the more things change the more they stay the same as they ushered in the Rob Antony era picking up right where they left off, by losing. 1-0 Rob, pretty much a must win tonight now that Jimmy has found his pad of pink slips.

 

Not going to do another TR post op for the Game Thread, we have enough of those in the forums Let's get right down to business.

 

Things to think about.

 

1. Media guides, who knew these were the blueprint for successfully running an MLB franchise?  Unfortunately the Twins media guide now contains false information on the organisational structure and JP is feverishly trying to contact everyone with a copy to cross TR's name off. Just in case someone out there is trying to model themselves after the Twins (ha ha, I know), we don't don't want  to to mislead them.

 

2. Cleaning out offices. Never had to do it myself, hope I don't have to, until I retire at least. Yesterday must have busy for Terry, what with contacting the unemployment office and trying to round up boxes at local Cub food stores to put his stuff in. Classy move by the Pohlads to let him go while the team was on the road, would have been awkward for maintenance to change the nameplate on the door while he was still there.

 

3. New beginnings and fresh starts, I like them, I hope the Pohlads eventually will to. The big move is done, don't be afraid to see it through and keep going in that different direction, it's exciting.................I hope.

 

4. The Tigers, for God's sake can we beat this team just once please!!

 

5. Terry Ryan. Other than a 6 year span with the Mets, Terry was a lifelong Twin. While there will always be disagreements on the relative success and failure of his time with the team, there is no disputing he was a dedicated and loyal member of the Twins for a very long time, I appreciate that.

Thanks Terry, best of luck to ya!

 

 

Late to the thread. Good job with the intro, sir!

She seems to have aimed a bit higher than a guy who {turns off the air conditioning and} sits around in his underpants {to prevent global warming} , drinking $14/case local swill {to support the local economy and fight globalization}, eating leftover {all-organic} pizza {instead of wasting it}, and following a sub .350 baseball team {that supports several community charities and youth programs}.

Sorry to break it to you.

She is purty though.

 

I'm not even a marketing major and I can still sell that...

At least we're ahead big. I can't imagine the sadness I would feel if I sat here all night in my underwear, drinking a beer, and eating leftover pizza only to see a loss.

 

Wait... You wear clothes when you watch?
