For my money, Kaat is the best in the business.

[RickOShea]

The value of the Kaat card never increased much.  He lived a pretty clean life and was respected as a player.

True that. By the way, am I the only one that’s enjoying Jim Kaat as the color commentator? He’s actually pretty good. A little more interesting than Justin Morneau and a lot better than Roy Smalley. I still do like the occasional Tori Hunter game.

Kaat is the best, no question, and who doesn’t like Tori Hunter

Here Kitty, Kitty!

Can we trade for Salvatore Perez?

[sampleSizeOfOne]

'Vador strikes again.

 

Was that 117 or 118?

Why would you want to do that, and make the poor guy's career go down the tank?

Yes

[RickOShea]

Why is Happ throwing 92 mph fastballs over the heart of the plate?

Twins now looking normal.

Did you know he’s your father Luke?

[LA Vikes Fan]

And there it goes. Im thinking that the over/under for total runs is about 15.

[RickOShea]

I bet no one is warming up.

That musical was pretty revolutionary when you think on it ... 

Poooooor Judd is daid, poor Judd Frye is daid ...

I am sad to say my knowledge of contemporary works isn't strong enough to give it due credit there, but a lot of it is downright memorable.

This is the Twins, he has to go at least 3 innings or give up 8 runs

[RickOShea]

Happ is Shoemaker's twin brother, production wise.

[Vanimal46]

Over/under 1.5 more starts for Happ in his Twins tenure? At this point I hope Winder has a good start or 2 in St. Paul and he gets the Uber ride across the river.

No!?!!

That's impossible!!!

 

(Is Emperor Butera still on their bench?)

[Nine of twelve]

JA Happ should change his name to BP Happ.

[Aggies7]

Happ is toast

Over, the Twins FO loves to give their FA acquisitions way more rope than they deserve.

So he's gonna hit another one, and it's all my fault. 

 

Sorry i brought it up.

So we just need some butter on the right side...

No kidding. He’s so cooked all that’s left is charred remains on the grill. If there was anyone healthy in St. Paul in the Duran, Smeltzer, Thorpe group he would be gone by now. 

[RickOShea]

Kaat hasn't worked 2 full innings and he's already proven his baseball acumen is far superior to any of the others teaming with Bremer.
