    June's quote of the month. Write it down.
  2. Dave Borton
    Just flipped off and turned to the Tigers/Rangers game. Can't deal w/GopherballPagan.
  3. Dave Borton
    I enjoyed Pete as well.

    Have Milo Hamilton and Ernie Johnson on the Atlanta radio booth. No, that's not right. They were on when I lived in East Central Alabama in the '70s. Tonite it's Jim Powell (former Twins radio in '90s) and Joe Simpson, former Royal and Angel.

    This is helpful, thanks. And I would agree, hyperbole can be employed, particularly when Kicuchi was completing 7 inn, kicking the A's collective butt.
  6. Dave Borton
    Have the Jays/A's game on. Kikuchi pitched 7.0 complete, 100 pitches. Toronto radio booth said Kikuchi's off-season training was pitching 200-300 pitch bull pen sessions, all off-season. Today's 100-pitch effort is a cakewalk for him. Describe a bullpen session for me. How in the heck can his arm take that, playing all year and subjecting it to that kind of wear and tear. TIA, strictly a sandlotter 3rd and 1st baseman. db

    'Atta boy Royce. Appoint him as Batting Coach and can the 3 with titles.

    Near collision. Once again, musical chairs lineup lends itself to this stuff, when someone ends up hurt.

    Seen on Twins Cities Craigslist. "4th batting coach needed. Preference given to coach who understands hitting singles, and can say it in English and Español. Has size 13 to bury in batter's butt if he fails to catch on. Comfortable with ignoring calls from FO."

    This stuff is the best when we have chances to discuss, not argue, face to face. Say over an IPA?

    I remember Jim Leyland smoking his Lucky Strikes in the dugout.
  12. Dave Borton
    I didn't see the praise in the article. Nor was any needed.
  13. Dave Borton
    I put the radio on in the background and break out the Kindle. Don't have cable so there isn't that temptation. When the Twins take a s*, I listen to see how my favorites are doing (Farmer/Lewis) and listen to opposing radio booth (when they are decent) to learn the other team.
  14. Dave Borton
    Jim Leyland is in Detroit for the weekend. He does scouting and development for the Tigers. Give me ol' tyme Baseball.
  15. Dave Borton
    Stick with it. It will be a good ball game. Twins needn't win. Gave that up last Lent.
  16. Dave Borton
    Lighten up on me boy (winks).
  17. Dave Borton
    Good discussion in Detroit radio booth about Tigers approach to MN hitters. Get ahead of them; don't nitpick. "They are swingers; throw the ball, they'll swing." Commenter is former MLB pitcher whose voice I do not recognize. Has worked both series. Let's call it the "Gallo(w)s Guillotine" approach.
  18. Dave Borton
    Detroit radio booth was raving about him. His FB has 5 mph more velo than when he last pitched.
  19. Dave Borton
    Actually, he should be assistant, assistant coach. RHernandez DPopkins DShomon Triplication

    Davey Martinez got tossed this week and then laid on ground to show up where he called it. Now THAT's getting your money worth.
  21. Dave Borton
    FO told him to get out there, get tossed more often, mix things up.
  22. Dave Borton
    I have to prepare dinner. No posts till I get back. TIA.
  23. Dave Borton
    Thanx for the catch. Good grief, Charlie B...
  24. Dave Borton
    The guys in my squadrons from central city Detroit changed mine. DEE'- troit.
  25. Dave Borton
    Those of our age understand TWO finalities. (winks).
