  1. At first I thought your math was off, but when I realized you were considering a 162-game season I found that your numbers were approximately right. I say approximately because there are two things that were not accounted for: extra-inning games and home team wins. That said, due to the fact that I'm too lazy to determine the adjustments that need to be made I'll give you full credit for your calculations.
  2. Just turned on the TV to see the tarp being pulled over the infield.
  3. We're getting moderate weather in the western suburbs now. The radar makes it look like the worst may skirt Target Field, passing northwest.
  4. I know that it's just one run and I know that the run counts the same as if it had barely cleared the wall. But it's fun watching a ball being hit that hard and that far. And I can't speak for Sano but I would guess it's probably even more fun doing it.
  5. If those are the records both teams would go.
  6. Regarding how many games are played and who makes the postseason, who cares? I have been watching the Twins play because I enjoy watching good baseball players play games. And while I like the Twins to win it just doesn't matter when it comes to the standings because this season is just one big asterisk anyway. The games are nothing more than exhibition games.
  7. Not purely correct because it's synthesized but this is one of my favorites. I've thought that Eddie Van Halen should work up a guitar solo of this.
  8. Tying a record held by many.
  9. This game exemplifies the saying that sometimes you're the pigeon and sometimes you're the statue.
  10. Not heating. Heated. En fuego.
  11. I have been 49 for quite some time but I've been 39 for even longer.
  12. The game has been on but I wasn't paying attention even during the 5-run inning. Until I heard Dick's call on the Sano home run. I rewound to look at it, and it is literally awesome to see someone big and strong and talented doing that to a ball pitched by a major league pitcher. You didn't need to see the flight of the ball. Just watching him swinging and hitting the ball was all that was necessary.
  13. In some cases they'll increase the shift with 2 strikes depending on the batter and the situation.
  14. If we can get us a lead, even one run, I think our top bullpen guys can hold it. Let's make something happen here.
  15. Tried unsuccessfully to find this on YouTube-- There was a scene from a Mash episode in which Col. Potter threatened Maj. Winchester with a sentence to Leavenworth. Winchester said, " Leavenworth...(alarmed expression)...My God, that's in Kansas!"
  16. 2 pitches, 2 outs. Just throw a strike and let him take it, instead of ball 1, ball 2.
  17. Put it this way, that concert was probably in about 1979.
  18. Singer grabs at the batted ball with his throwing hand... I remember being at a concert many years ago. I think it was Leo Kottke. The performer said that when he realized he was becoming a professional musician he taught himself not to grab at stuff as a reflex.
  19. This is where good scouting comes into play. The better the scouting, the better to determine if there is a high or low likelihood of future success for a player. And that is how you judge by what's known at the time. And whether you are a fan of it or not, using hindsight is the only way to judge trades. If you don't use hindsight that means that trading Ramos for Capps was a good trade for the Twins.
  20. Way to go Buck. Now let's keep the line moving. Time for an ambush.
  21. At least Rocco got him out of there ASAP.
