Absurd

[sampleSizeOfOne]

Break for me....

 

We are with in strike distance.

 

Let's do this!

 

Now back to the pit...

[Aggies7]

It's not a passive aggressive thing. I'm displeased, I just express it in ways that don't involve booing.

Lol like what? Not buying tickets?

[twinssporto]

 

Seriously though... I've been to Lockhart Texas for BBQ, I've been to Kansas City for BBQ... Memphis, Carolina, Alabama, Georgia. I found some real good BBQ in Grand Rapids, Michigan. 

 

You'd figure with all those pig farms in Iowa... they'd find something decent to slather on it. 

They only cook casseroles in Iowa.  Sorry.

In my experience, some of the best BBQ I've had in Iowa are in smaller towns with family owned diners. One of the best meals I've had in Iowa was in the Amana colonies, but I don't remember which place it was.

I doubt Morrison is laughing his way to the bank. I'd be willing to bet he is hurting. It's like if someone got hit by a car and you stood on the curb and booed the guy laying on the ground.

I'm going back to Maid-Rites tomorrow.

I’m sure he is feeling bad, but you’ve never gotten an earful from your boss or a customer at your job when you maybe weren’t doing so well? I get that now and I surely don’t get paid several Mil to do it

Best steak house I've ever been too (and I've been to a lot) is the Northwestern Steak House in Mason City, Iowa.  Seriously blows away any steak house in the country.

I'd have slightly more sympathy for Morrison if he hadn't started off the season complaining about having to play in stadiums without roofs too. As it stands, he isn't performing and he's bitching about some inclement weather while making million to not perform.

They mentioned a few times on the YES broadcast about him complaining that he was held out of the HR derby last year.

DIfference between the Yankees and the Twins: would the Yankee front office settle for Grossman and LaMarre as 4th and 5th OFers? 

 

No. Neither would be a Yankee without a serious run of injuries.

 

Would the Yankees be carrying a useless rule 5 pitcher in their pen?

 

No. They don't waste roster spots.

 

The Yankees don't always win, but they never settle for "well, that's good enough."

[Aggies7]

Walking judge to face gregorious. I’m sure this will be fine

The only Boo's I've ever gotten happened here on TD after some sub-par game thread opens.

They are apparently light years ahead in the scouting/development/coaching department as well.

Did it make you want to get better?

[Aggies7]

Do we have any pitchers with an out pitch??

[S.]

He just banned the people who booed and continued being sub-par.

[Aggies7]

Grossman caught that ball like I would.

[USAFChief]

I like Escobar, but he is about as unmobile a SS as you will ever see. Brutal range.

[Aggies7]

The 5-19 Reds should be a good barometer for where we are

Very few pigs have any interest in promoting pork rib sales!

[David HK]

Wow, what an unholy mess.

 

I'm glad to have a really busy day today.  It's recess time now, so I can check in to the game.

 

...........and, check back out again.

 

What an embarrassment.  I don't even want any Yankees to wear one in the ribs anymore, it would just be a low-class move at this point.  Cripe, we're not even remotely competitive this series.

 

Chicken dinner?  Ch- ch- ch- chicken dinner? 

Don't even talk to me about chicken dinner!

Geez, Chief's finding fault in our best player now!

[Aggies7]

Good, patient AB there from miguel

[Aggies7]

Eddie, sad.

[Aggies7]

Kepler still ballin

[twinssporto]

I thought Kepler couldn't hit lefties.

[Aggies7]

Save the challenge, paul

[mickeymental]

i hate the yankees.
