  1. Contrary to what some here seem to believe, the time will come when the Twins beat the Yankees in the postseason. It will happen. Someday.
  2. I'm probably in the minority among Twins fans. I don't hate the White Sox. I dislike the Cleveland franchise far more. I think that if you live in Chicago and you are a true baseball fan you can only be a White Sox fan.
  3. Here's what Donaldon's play at third reminded me of. This is one of the most fun plays ever in the history of baseball. And by the way, watch the umpire. He was in perfect position throughout the entire play and his out call was emphatic and perfect for the play.
  4. Even if the scoring guidelines are changed this is an example of how little significance there is to wins for pitchers, especially relievers. I don't think any of these pitchers stands out above the others.
  5. Dick has been fixated on Sano's career total of 99 doubles. I think he's said at least 3 times that it would be a good time for his 100th double. I'll take a dinger over a double any time.
  6. Ed-O! (As contrasted with Ed-D.)
  7. And whether or not Angel Hernandez affected the outcome of the game, I don't know. But he's still a lousy umpire.
  8. Sometimes the team that scores more runs in a series loses the series. Sometimes the team that has more baserunners loses the game. Sometimes the pitcher who throws more strikes gives up more hits and/or runs. Sometimes good hitters don't have success in individual games or plate appearances. That's the nature of baseball. Last night was something that happens all the time. **** happens. The way I look at it is this: the White Sox played with fire last night but didn't get burned. But that doesn't mean they won't wind up fried to a crisp next time.
  9. These are the tongs I’m using to grill tonight’s chicken.
  10. Phil Miller mentions in his Strib game summary that we have hit 25 dingers this month. In 12 games. SSS, but that is a rate of 337 in a 162-game season.
  11. The radius is on the thumb side and the ulna is on the pinky side. Based on how the ball hit him I'd think it would have to be the ulna.
  12. The chicken for tonight is marinating as I write this!
  13. OK, Romo let's get this batter for the save. I want to see how you behave in that situation.
  14. It just dawned on me--last night Santana wore his pants above the knees and today he's got them at the base of his heels. I don't get it.
  15. It's different than a typical bunt in that bunting hard is good, making sure it gets past the pitcher. Depending on the batter and the extent of the shift a bunt double is not difficult to picture.
  16. Geez, I wasn't paying attention earlier. Had the game on but distracted by chores. It's only the end of 5??? I was thinking it must be about the 7th by now.
  17. All runs on bombas again today!
  18. Don't be so hard on Hayfield schools.
  19. BTW, this qualifies as a call. And a good one obviously.
  20. Great move by Rocco to bring in Thielbar.
