What? I thought those were made up. I don't have one.

Duh, I am such a numbskull!

They will never report again. Dozier hit his 40th home run. You liked my post, but failed too take in the information I put forward. The earth will end now. There is no longer a reason for it to exist.

Late to the party. The world can end now. Brian Dozier, a MN Twin has hit 40 HRs in a season. Since I missed Hail Bop by 19 years... Beam me up Scotty. http://consciouslifenews.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/01/telepathy1.jpg

I remember this day well. When the news broke, I was running a printing press and I remember the customer's job I was running. The loss of life is extreme and depressing. It is unfortunate, but nothing good came from this day that leads us to 9-11-16. It was GW Bush, but it could have been Gore, some kind of military action would have happened either way. I think we would end up in the same place anyways to a certain extent. Since WWII, our country has interfered with things they should have not. Whether it be monitory gain or other menial things. Iran being the big blemish. Maybe they US should have thrown their support into a regime that would have countered the Wahabist Saudi Arabian elites. I certainly have hope for the future of our world, but we are complicent with the crimes of today. We, along with other nations have made this a mess and it will take many decades to make a right out of the overall wrong. The United States of America is not doing itself any favors with this presidential election. I am willing to eat a spoonful of this ****, but not a gallon... Cripes!!!

When I have a minute, I will dig into it.

and I would do it again for you brother! (:

She was an employee. I think Mel ran the joint.

It appears Kurt Suzuki took a deuce and it is laying on the space below him. AKA Logan Schaefer.

Even if it is some what tainted, I really got my kicks off the Roger Maris homer chase by McGwire and Sosa back in 1998. Dozier's quest for 40 surpasses that 10 fold. I have to be honest, I never thought we would see a Twins player hit 40 jacks in a season again. The quest is not completed yet, but it looks promising. Viva Dozier in a suck of all suck seasons!

Last I heard, Griffen is a eunuch. There are no deep balls, medium balls, or short balls.

This is more like it.

Football has no place on a baseball thread. http://navigatingnative.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/06/Soccer-Wallpaper-Shoot-Ball.jpg Oh ****, my bad.

Your lack of Caps makes me feel otherwise.

Nah, I ketch ya. Thanxs for the cerrectian.

I think it is proper etiquette to keep your eyes closed when your kissing someone. That's what I have been told, you tell me.

Us dang gum Amerikans no not much about histories. Me apoligeesz for the rest of us. No direspek meantt.

Ouch. If I read that correctly.

If this was 1909, Mauer would have edged out Ty Cobb for the HR title in the A.L. and defecated on his triple crown chances. Chew on that for a minute. Oh wait, yuck.

My answer would have been Kerguelen Island. Tahiti if I wanted to treat myself well. Syria... not so much.

I wish Mr. Rodriguez the best success in his life after baseball. He was one of the greatest players who played this game. He did use PEDs, this soils his accomplishments and he will pay for that accordingly in the HOF ballot. Everyone makes mistakes, a SUPER GREAT percentage of us do not make 25-30M a year, but that was his fortune, not our misfortune, I don't feel cheated. I could care less. Good luck Alex, maybe being out of the spotlight will help you to become a better person. I cannot imagine 23 years of scrutiny. Live well and find yourself, become the person you want to be extracted from the lens of celebrity.

I'd be reluctant to trade Rosario. The OBP was sad last year, but he had a nice rookie year. I believe there is some legitimacy with the "sophomore slump" concept. An OBP under .300 is unacceptable, and he will never be a guy that walks a lot, but if he can raise his average into the upper 2 hundreds and can provide power from the three extra-base categories, and coax 30-40 BB's - I am super "curse word" solid with him. I will not give up on Rosario until Brunansky is replaced and Eddie falls flat on his face. I don't think Bruno is a good hitting coach. From my perspective, he has had direct success with Dozier on his approach, and he is good at times, and on a simple stat page his results look okay, that page does not show his prolonged slumps that last half a season or more. I think it is reasonable to require coaching dismissals and bringing in new blood from fresh modern day baseball minded coaching staffs, before we give up on an athletic, multi-talented baseball player. A lot of very, very, very good/great baseball players in the history of this game had a good rookie year, sucked the second, and in the third went of to have a fantastic career. We live in a world of instant gratification these days, it's not gonna happen on the ball field, the players are human beings, not the internet. We can find any information we want with a few clicks on a keyboard or phone, a ball player's development is a crapshoot and they would benefit from having competent teachers surrounding them. Eddie has roughly a year+ service time in the bigs, as fans let's show some more patience before we piss him away.

I love Paul Molitor. He is a hometown hero for me. It makes me sad to say that he needs to go after this season, along with the whole coaching staff. The bunting obsession has me all ****ed up. To shake things up, I would have Buxton leading off. Let's put him in a position of importance and see how it goes. I am not an extremist about how baseball should be played, but the Twins are out of touch. I understand that Tom Kelly was Molitor's mentor from a coaching stand point. But that idealism is long gone... at least 10 years gone, probably more. Baseball Ops: Jason McLeod New Manager: Dave Martinez

I think all of the Joe haters should go picket Target Field and get their voices across. This evil, evil man signed a contract when he was in his prime and for the most part, it did not work out, he set a precedent, he was the one and only 100 million dollar man contract that didn't work out. How unholy and we are all the victims. Some one needs to be lynched or burned on the cross! Mauer hate is foolish, it's fish food for small minds. I'd like to think at some point we all were fans of this guy. Probably too many concussions and his big body broke down. Too many people are stuck on the money and 2009, think back to that time and jerk it all you want. It's not coming back. He was an elite player for us for many years. He was tremendous. There is a lot of hate out there right now and it has no good outcome. The Joe Mauer wet dream years are over. Move on, please. Please! Dwelling in the past is counter productive. Look to the future. Spend your time on sorting out that enchilada.

I don't really care you gets the job as long as they come from a baseball organization with a dominant modern day baseball philosophy and they are able to assemble their own team of talent evaluators and talent developers. Names don't mean crap to me as long as they get the job done.
