1 win in last 8 games and they STILL do the narcissistic selfie. Damn. There has got to be a better way.

Are you saying we've never seen that movie before?  He's reliable, he's cheap, he'll be available. 

... he'll be retired.  😀

You got me there. I did not think of that option.

He's lefthanded and breathing.

He'll be in someone's camp next February.

He may not have yet either. 

But $155M in lifetime earnings might put some perspective on the effort required to come back next spring.

Corbin may be shot, but it's hard to lose when you don't give up any runs. The Twins have hammered home that point for me

99 times out of 100 I'd go with that.  But he'll be 35 next spring, can still comb his hair using either hand without assistance, and has money in the bank.  I can't imagine what would convince him to even pick up the phone, can you?  Four (4!) years of leading the league in Losses* while accruing 5+ ERAs could do that to even the most competitive athlete.

 

*I realize 2024 isn't complete yet but I have faith in him.

You realize you just jinxed us to a 10 year contract with 9 player opt outs, right?

At my age I tend to avoid cameras due to my persistent narcissism.

My psychologist diagnosed me with Narcissistic Personality Disorder but the state medical board overruled him on the grounds I wasn't good enough looking for that.

Always thought Ian Desmond should wear No. 22, just for what it would say on the back of his uniform.

Reminds me of the old Flip Wilson joke. Here it is:   Comedian Flip Wilson told a story about a preacher and his church. A preacher was trying to get his people to be more enthusiastic about their church. The preacher said in his sermon: "If this church is going to get anywhere, it has to learn to crawl." The people said, "Let it crawl, Rev., let it crawl" Then he said, "And after it learns to crawl, it has to learn to walk." And the people said, "Let it walk, Rev., let it walk" The preacher got excited and said, "After this church learns to walk, it has to learn to run" The people shouted back, "Let it run, Rev., let it run" Then he said, "And if this church is going to run, it’s going to take money" And the people said, "Let it crawl, Rev., let it crawl."

Looks like we're doing some crawling tonight.

As a pastor, and specifically as a pastor who spends his time helping churches learn how to talk about money in healthy ways, I’m definitely stealing (see what I did there?) this one.

Anyway, i'm glad we won.
