I want to win games first and foremost, as that what counts most. While a record is nice to get, it just doesn’t matter to me ... winning games does. So, if that’s the trade off, a record for a championship? I’ll take the championship any day of the week, and Sundays. Of course it’s nice to beat the Yankees anywhere, anyhow. Wasn’t what I meant. I just don’t care as much about a record as I do about winning baseball games in the post season.

 

It's NOT a trade off. There is NO trade off. Each stands on it's own. Of course all fans want a championship. You are, of course welcome to you thought process, however. And I am certainly not one to tell you how to think or what to do.

Seriously, don’t take everything so seriously. :eye roll:

Not sure why everyone is surprised Perez doesn't look very good, he's just not a good starting pitcher. 

 

He has been very good against lefties this year, however, so if he makes the team to face some dangerous left-handed hitters, I'd be up for that. But if they want him to pitch multiple innings, that's just not going to end well.

 

Also, the Yanks and Twins are tied at 306 HRs!

Yeah, as a lefty out of the pen, I can buy that. And I think that is the plan ... or was before Gibson’s illness became too overwhelming and Pineda’s suspension. But we have a Berrios, Odorizzi, Dobnak ... that will be our starting rotation for the ALDS.

I don’t think any of us are surprised. And he’s hardly been a nuclear meltdown, just his recent self.

"Twins infielder Luis Arraez was diagnosed with a Grade 1 sprain in his right ankle, an MRI exam revealed on Sunday. The Twins will take things day by day and pursue aggressive treatment, though there is no timeline for Arraez's return to action.

 

Arraez is wearing a protective boot for now, and the ankle is stable, but the question is when normal function and range of motion can be restored and how the pain can be managed. Grade 1 is considered the least severe level of sprain."

 

That's the best news from yesterdays bumper cars with Astudillo. At least he got a golf cart ride. Helped the drama.

 

Perhaps he will take a quick "Circle of Awareness" course while he is getting treatments.  ;)

I have two wishes today. 

 

Health for all our players. 

 

And Home Runs... Lots of Home Runs and even more Home Runs after that. 

 

That's the spirit!

lol ... I have my windows open ... and whoever is singing the National Anthem at today's Bears-Vikings game is practicing. Guess I'll hear that again in 3 hours.

Two and a half hours before gametime is too late. If you don't know that song by now you never will.

Concur, however, sound check rehearsal is different from practicing.

Watch Schoop get the starts in the ALDS and be a hero and be a monster. It doesn't have to be a negative. He could very well take the opportunity and make it happen.

I'm a nitpicky kind of guy. Dick just said a word that sounded like momento. He probably meant memento. It's "mem" from the root remember, not "mom" from the word moment.

You Mis-Heard it... He was just trying to pronounce Arraez again.

I do, I do! ....... no pom-poms, though.

 

Phew, that was close... I was worried you were going to type it back and get us into an inescapable loop.

To be fair- this is a much better Perez right now. If he could bottle it he’d make a fortune.

He just got away with a no movement 94 mph fastball right down the middle. I guess it is only a mistake if someone hits it, eh?

 

Whoops........ didn't get away with that one. 

 

Torreyes trying to be a hero after the bobble. They just can't help themselves.

I saw that pitch as on the inside corner, but maybe I fooled myself into not being relentlessly negative all the time.
