    Who called that bunt with Lewis as runner from 3rd base? Guy is getting over a hamstring injury and call a play which requires heavy exertion on that leg? Crazy call.

    I would have had to begun anticipating an hour before to have made it. My wife would tell you the same thing <winks>.

    Fights over season tix at Thanksgiving are far superior to political and religious arguments.

    Tell me about it. I missed Correa's throw to the plate to nail Bichette. Everyone in front of me stood up and these 75 yr old legs and hips couldn't react as quickly. Young whipper snappers. 😉 I didn't mind a bit. Place had the energy that I have only witnessed at Wrigley.. Great crowd.

    Oofdah. Take it easy on us NB wearers. We are a might thin skinned.

    ...and the Jays did everything wrong:

    I am afraid that the Ontario and Manitoba fans are going to fill up the place with the tix left last night when I bought mine off Stubhub. Chief is raising the flag at TF today. Look for him.

    .962 this year at 3B, 41 games.

    I surmise that his son's health is having an emotional toll. His boy has an extreme digestive problem.

    Oh, complicated. Made my head hurt last night when I reviewed tie breaker page on MLB.com. Goodness. All I know is that the conclusion of this season has been some of the most exciting ball I can remember in a long time. I check scores and standings x2 daily and when I get up in the wee hours.

    I get it. I went to a Lutheran seminary in Ohio and worked for the church for several years before low wages/growing kids' needs led me back to my healthcare work. I will get photos to you of the art via email in the next couple of weeks.

    We brought back 3 pieces of art (tapestry -- a mola and paintings) from the Kuna people in Panama and a young Afro Carib Costa Rican artist. I had two of them framed in burl and one in padauk. Won't tell you what I paid to frame them. Wife doesn't even know. But they have been in our living room for 20 years and they always evoke comment. Would do it again.

    One large frame, wood of course. You can just use tulip or red pine for fathead. There are shops (on line is none in your area). Mount fathead on wood. Then, for the cards, have a large frame crafted from same wood. Cards arranged chronologically, with theme card in middle: 9 9 1 9 10 Have a mat cut out for them, which the cards are recessed into, with a double mat for the frame (navy blue, or whatever Twins color you want to use.) Visit a couple of wood shops; give them your ideas. Doing it once. It will be on the wall a long time and can get passed down. https://www.irontimbers.com/tables You're in Mennonite/Amish country. Visit the largest church and ask for a woodworker. They will know one within their group.

    I wouldn't paint or do strips. I would go with burl wood frame around fathead (spend the dime, easy for me to say) or burl wood veneer. Do it in the tulip tree burl (Indiana state tree) or red pine burl (MN state tree). Not a square frame but a border which follows fathead outline. https://www.veneersupplies.com/categories/Raw__Wood__Veneer/Wood__Veneer__N__-__Z/Oak__Burl__Wood__Veneer Fast forward to 3:50

    I second your above motion. Cody said: Farmer at SS this year. /.988. Career at SS/.985 Lee at SS this year. /.959. Career at SS/.956
  16. Dave Borton
    Thx, I had forgotten this. Buxton? He has not contributed to this team in 2023. Farmer.
  17. Dave Borton
    And a confidence builder for the young man who is aware of his defensive "lightness." Gladden has talked about the extra hours he has put in w/Twins coaches so as to improve.
  18. Dave Borton
    Careful. Julien, about whom so many worry defensively, .990. Lee, defensively '23, .959.
  19. Dave Borton
    You must be retired, where every day is Saturday, like some of us. <Winks>.

    "Athletic trainers are licensed or otherwise regulated in 49 states and the District of Columbia." https://natad2.org/info_public.htm#:~:text= Athletic trainers are licensed,BOC) credential (ATC). CA is only state without regulation. He practiced in Florida and Michigan and clearly is aware of the need to be responsible for his certification/licensure. It is not the state's responsibility to seek him out.
  22. Dave Borton
    Dumb. Any licensed/certified health care worker knows that they either have reciprocity to practice in another state or that they need to file for appropriate license. Hired in Oct and applies the next April. Really? Even a barber knows this stuff.

    Sanchez down. Padres catcher Gary Sánchez broke his right wrist during this afternoon’s loss to the Phillies; Sánchez was hit by a 98 MPH fastball from Philadelphia reliever Jeff Hoffman. The pitch ran inside and caught Sánchez’s back wrist when he checked his swing. https://www.mlbtraderumors.com/2023/09/gary-sanchez-ji-man-choi-diagnosed-with-fractures.html

    Today the MLB celebrates Clemente. Every Pirate did a service work day. Ideal remembrance of the man who stood tall.

    While I miss Arraez, both sides won.
