  1. It's have to say it again: I can't ****ing stand the Pizza Ranch for the win commercial. There is nothing good about it. It makes me want to boycott their restaurants.
  2. He was already in the minors this year after the Twins claimed him from Seattle.
  3. Do you mean the capitals or the largest cities? (Of course, everyone who is anyone knows the answer to that question is yes.)
  4. Who's this guy on the air with Dick? He sounds vaguely familiar, like he used to announce at some point in the distant past.
  5. Had to look it up: in 17 states the largest city is the capital.
  6. When a team reaches the point where advancing to the postseason is highly unlikely selling should take place. However, that doesn't mean getting rid of anyone for whom you can get an offer. It means improving your team's position to have success as soon as possible. In the case of the Twins it means improving our position to have success in 2019. We will have a rehabilitated and improved Sano. We will have a rehabilitated and improved Buxton. We will have a full season of Polanco. We will have several young pitchers, both starters and relievers, who have been improving in the high minors. We should not jettison anyone who is likely to make a significant contribution next season. Dozier, Lynn, Rodney, Duke, maybe Mauer should be the ones to look at trading. Almost nobody under the age of 27 should be on the list.
  7. Maybe not. But I tell you what, if Thames was off the base between his left foot leaving the base and his right leg touching the base it was for Planck time.
  8. Thanks for posting, I was just going to check to see if they were up.
  9. I tried to figure out how Richard Henry Lee, who wrote the resolution that resulted in the Declaration of Independence, was related to Robert E. Lee. I gave up on trying to confirm the exact connection but I think they were first cousins once removed. I think "Light Horse Harry", Henry Lee III, Robert E. Lee's father, was a cousin of Richard Henry Lee.
  10. You're welcome, although I think you have a pretty low threshold of great.
  11. Hello and welcome to today's game thread. I like using the 5-topic intro so here goes. 1. I don't feel like discussing the Twins. 2. I don't feel like discussing the Brewers. 3. July 4th is designated as Independence Day because on July 4, 1776 the final wording of the Declaration of Independence was approved by the Second Continental Congress. Most of the signatures on the best known version of the document, the one that is displayed at the National Archives, were made on August 2 of that year. 4."The Stars and Stripes Forever", composed by John Philip Sousa in 1896, was named the National March of the United States in 1987 by an act of Congress. 5. Forecast for weather in Milwaukee at game time: Skies: partly cloudy Temperature: 85F, heat index 86F Wind: SE 9 mph Precipitation probability: 0% Starting Pitchers: Minnesota: Jose Berrios ®, 8-6 / 3.52 Milwaukee: Chase Anderson ®, 6-6 / 4.18 Lineups and batting orders TBA. I hope residents of the United States of America and citizens of the United States of America not currently in their home country have an enjoyable Independence Day. For everyone else, happy 4th of July!
  12. That's what can happen when a non-third baseman plays third base. Seemed like he didn't look it into his glove.
  13. I don't know what's worse: The acting on the Pizza Ranch ad, Marney's announcing on the Pizza Ranch ad, or the writing on the Pizza Ranch ad.
  14. The fans have reason to boo. But **** happens.
  15. Thanks dhtf for doing the opener. I had received communication that I might have to do the honors and I was trying to prepare myself to do so but this takes the pressure off.
  16. The telecast yesterday showed a thermometer registering 108 F on the field. Add to that the humidity and I'm sure the heat index on the field was approaching 120 F. This IS an epic unusual occurrence at any time of the year. The term brutal probably understates the conditions. If you still are unable to understand then I'm sorry, I guess you never will.
  17. If you were on that field I think you would understand that happening. The weather was totally brutal.
