I keep finding myself back over there for some reason.  Perhaps I'm looking for my sanity figuring that is where I last saw it.

You must be one of those who finds it difficult to look away from an accident causing gawker slowdown

Put me in that group, I read the entire thing, and then wondered why.

 

I've found this year the most enjoyable way to watch these games is wait for us to get a lead.  Then go do something else feeling good.  The longer I wait to find out the final score the longer the good feeling lasts.

Paul Molitor filling out a lineup card seems to be proving Einstein right these days.

Which part?

Which part?

Oh, just the whole same thing part.

Haha!  I was driving, so I wasn't going to be that guy.  I was constantly asking my wife if she was still feeling okay.  I believe one of my lame jokes was that I needed to buy feed for the oxen when I needed to fill the gas tank.  Hunting jokes were prevalent given the number of pronghorn in the area.  I asked how we should ford the river at every river crossing.  Looking back, I'm not sure why she didn't kill me for her own sanity.  

 

Texting would have been pretty epic.  I wish we would have thought about that.

Whenever you went to get food did you tell your wife you bought 989 pounds food, however you were only able to carry 10 lbs back to the car?

So much wasted buffalo out there on the trail! I remember being pumped shooting a huge buffalo in the game, only to be disappointed with how inefficient the person was carrying it back to the wagon.

Speaking of inefficient, how about the number of rabbits that you had to shoot to bring in a decent haul.  With how difficult they were to hit, it's just a waste of ammunition.  I'm sure it took 10 year old me far too long to come to that conclusion.

Not that I want to defend this, but Rosario was supposed to have yesterday off.  

 

Edit:  I've been informed that Rosario is in LF.  See what happens when you try to defend something around here?  You get blasted!

Looks like he's going to have to wait to get that day off, because he's starting in LF tonight.

[Platoon]

If in my youth I had known how easy it is to get a cup of coffee in MLB, I would have went to those Twins tryout camps. Wow, Indy league to MLB in a few short weeks. (Be back later, my grandson is gonna hit me some fly balls, there's still hope)

Ha!  I haven't seen the lineups yet.  Nice catch.

Are you alive? Are you good at taking strike three calls? Can you throw it from left field to the very edge of the infield? 

 

If you answered yes to all of these questions, you may be qualified for Robbie Grossman's job.

[wsnydes]

 

What Robbie gonna do

Hopefully sit next to the tub of bubble gum and not move from that spot.

[twinsnorth49]

I'm somewhat less nauseous about Schafer playing because at least Grossman isn't. I still feel queasy but I think some antacid should resolve it.

Well, we can check off taking strike three calls and throwing a ball from LF to the very edge of the infield. 

I'm not positive Platoon has a pulse.

Not so fast, I think Mollie might be making his OF lineup decisions based on who wins the biggest bubble blowing contest each night.

 

Stick him next to the sunflower seeds to be safe.

C'mon North.  Puke and rally!  Puke and rally!

 

Watching this team at times, that's a valuable skill.

Good point.  If that's the case, perhaps they should put him next to the medical box.  If he moves, tape him to the bench to make sure that he can't move.

I'm not sure -- which is worse, promoting Schafer because you don't plan to sit Grossman, or promoting Schafer and STILL sitting Grossman?

Give it a day or two and we'll get to watch Schafer and Grossman in the outfield at the same time. Maybe if we're real lucky, in a couple weeks Santana will be back and we can play our outfield of the future. Grossman/Schafer/Santana

It takes something momentous to  make me vomit. I think it stems from when I was around 10 years old and after everyone had left the table at Christmas dinner, I went around and drained what was left of everybody's wine glass. Needless to say I vomited pretty much all night but in the process I'm pretty sure I developed an iron stomach.

 

 

Stop looking at me like that......

Posting these are my shiny new toy on the site! Perhaps my next shiny new toy is video game thread intros!
