  1. Ah, I had hoped and misread the headline and looked for a termination of radio broadcast rights of the twin unfortunates: Atteberry/Gladden
  2. After his last 2.25 hr ramp time exit, my bud finally parked at my house and rode the bus with me. "Why didn't you encourage me more to ride the bus," he asked with a loud laugh, knowing I told him before every game...
  3. We can also choose to not read the Rocco threads if they become tedious. I for one am done with them. I believe he did not earn the retention. Ownership/FO believes differently. A big hiccup I believe on the part of the organization that signals indifference to excellence and a commitment to mediocrity. Other issues involved, granted, but a serious misstep. I will just sit with their decision and put it into my mental hopper. Long winter pending.
  4. I will be in Florida (rather than Arizona) during Winter for the first time in 6 years. Rather than MLB, I attend college spring training and look forward to modestly priced, excellent college ball.
  5. I thought the headline was a satire article right out of the Onion. Wow, what an insult to fans.
  6. Hinch calls upon Maeda to start rather than BP. Saving arms for post-season. Maeda getting rocked, 5-0 WSox, 66 pitches thru top of 3rd. Brrrrr
  7. Agreed. If you are concerned re: crime, find a convenient parking space along lite rail or bus line. Sit in first car near drivers on lite rail and upfront on bus. In 11 years of literail and bus use for TF and general transportation thruout the Cities, I haven't had the first incident. Bit of drama at times, humor on others, and nice discussions as well. No traffic with which to contend and no $20 parking. Love it.
  8. No, I love the game of baseball. In that I reside here, the Twins are my team of interest and it's great to see them win, but I listen to many other teams out of town, often just for the insights provided by the radio booth (Oak A's, WSox, Tigers, Guards, Reds, Dodgers, Astros, Jays). Attendance? Minnesota isn't baseball country. Too cold. I know I personally set a flexing May 15th date before my posterior is present in a TF seat but since you are using that as a matrix, have to discuss ownership. Ownership? I believe they are quite comfortable putting a mediocre product in front of the public. It is hardly something to which I wish hitch a wagon. Why would I when their commitment to excel clearly isn't present. Don't get me wrong; love to see them win. I will attend games which present an interesting matchup. But when I receive that call from marketing about a ticket plan, I really can't take them seriously. I remain a lover of the game, first and foremost, and a guy who follows the Twins whether they win or lose.
  9. I saw him interviewed on "You Bet Your Life," with Groucho.
  10. Tigers entire BP eats together every breakfast on the road. Self-initiated.
  11. Cleve running out relievers. 4 guys, 6 inn. Perfect game over Reds.
  12. Vegas has WSox taking a dump and setting the record with 121L.
  13. 3-1, Tigers. 3 consecutive singles <note to Twins hitting coach).
  14. Rays homer, 2-1. Caminiero screams one.
  15. "I have to set the tone on how I walk in that clubhouse every day." AJ Hinch
