  1. We are 10-4 in spite of many of our players not firing on all cylinders. If baseball is still being played in October I hope everyone is in midseason form. If so we have a good chance to win the Golden Asterisk Trophy.
  2. Yep. Seven batters faced, one run allowed.
  3. LOL, just noticed that the Marlins guy has a cutout behind home plate. It's not in the first row where he would be if humans were allowed but still well within range of the center field camera.
  4. If he had these stats with a 98 MPH fastball and a wipe-out slider he would be heralded as the second coming of Nolan Ryan. But having these stats with no overwhelming pitches somehow makes it less significant in the eyes of many. As the old saying (correctly) goes, the proof of the pudding is in the eating. If he continues to get outs with few runs allowed he deserves recognition no matter how he does it.
  5. Too soon to say that, and too soon to say that is was a clear win. Let's see how the principals have performed five or more years from now.
  6. And as soon as you posted this they got a run as a result. You should know better than to post a jinx like that.
  7. I went to a Twins game in 1990 in which Mel Hall, then of the Yankees, took 33 seconds to get around the bases after hitting a home run. I wonder how the other team would react if Buck ran the bases at full speed after a dinger.
  8. I used to be able to ignore it, but last summer I went to a game at which my friend who was there with me pointed out that it was EVERY BLEEPING TIME between pitches. And it's LOUD. My friend said, "What would happen if the Twins had epilepsy awareness night?"
  9. The latest: This is an AP article lifted from the Strib. https://www.startribune.com/mlb-tightening-virus-protocols-including-masks-in-dugouts/572023402/
  10. This reminds me of the idea I had for the name of the Minnesota NHL team back when they chose Wild. I thought they could do a variant of Vikings. The Vikings were Norwegian sailors. Another term for Norwegian is Norse. And a slang term for a sailor, as crossword puzzlers know, is a tar. So the NHL team could have been called the Minnesota Norse Tars.
  11. Geez, I got distracted and I wasn't pay attentioning, and now it's a ball game. Let's go Buck!
  12. Had to have been a Twins loss in which the Yankees scored 3 runs or less.
  13. One time during my 4 years at Ohio State I was with some friends at a bar. This would have been about 1983 or 1984. Someone walked by with a t-shirt that had this on the front of it: NERK AHIA We saw it and looked among ourselves with puzzled looks until one guy started laughing, and he said, "Nerk, Ahia!" We had to hear it out loud to get it.
