Did she just call us classless or senseless?

Barring an injury, the guy is gonna win the batting title and it probably won't even be close. Definitely deserving of some MVP votes. 

Barring injury he WILL get MVP votes, but they won't be for 1st 2nd or 3rd place votes, so he be down around 8th. Writers don't appreciate his mastery at the plate and they'll point out that he hits .220 or so vs lefties

Gameday shows Hernandez behind plate, Baseball Savant illustrator graphics agree......

Cool! What instrument do you play?

My performing days are long past ,,. I do other behind the scenes stuff now, which suits me fine. But at one time I was a cellist

Whoops, my bad...I'm probably the only person who thought of the obscure '80s rock band before thinking of Mel Brooks and Gene Wilder.  Pardon me.

Sadly enough, I understood your reference as well!

He’ll be the first to tell you it’s not his fault, and I tend to agree, but just because you have the mic doesn’t mean you have to speak everything that comes to mind. He does end up with his foot in his mouth quite often

Trying the Cleveland tv guys so far, seem pretty good, They are also Questioning the whole Buxton approach,

Indeed.  I edited my previous post in utter shame over that late recognition.

Saw the twins play the d-backs this past weekend in Phoenix.  Lost 2 of 3, and looked pathetic.  Chase Field in Phenix is a **** hole.  1st row seats, field level, and couldn't see home plate.  Stadium is like watching a game in an airplane hangar.  The only positive thing was their air conditioning.  It was comfortable, despite 372 degrees outside.

Class dismissed.

Larnach got a bad jump, he moved forward first losing any chance to catch that ball

As someone who just made a Spaceballs reference, I imagine that I fit both of those categories.

It was hotter in Duluth yesterday than it was here

Yeah, that's where I picked it up. Yeeks.

Let's see how Cleveland does with a runner on 3rd and 1 out.

[LVTwinsfan]

As usual leaving all those runners on the bases will hurt the Twins

[RickOShea]

Would be nice to have a platinum glove winner in cf, for the Twins... Maybe some day. (Sigh)

I actually prefer the original with Gene Wilder.  But the remake is very good as well.

I love me some Gene Wilder.  Especially in Mel Brooks productions.

What was it that you lost two of that made you look pathetic? I mean I've looked pathetic without losing anything.
