    I took that class too. Prof was hilarious. And he didn't think much of Socrates, either.
  2. LaBombo
    Ouch.

    Polanco so excited about sealing Santana's CG loss that he forgets the ball...
  4. LaBombo
    Eh? / Eh. So the correct answer is 'squiggle'.

    Some throwaway media piece referred to the Twins' recent history as "forgettable". If only that were true. http://sivers.org/images/fightclub.gif

    You're spot on. There are already some artist's renderings floating around on the internet. The waterfall in center-right field looks spectacular:

    Yeah, that one's been around even longer than the oooold man-eating toaster bit...

    After the play: "That Dozier fella looked lower than a hog's chin on market day!". http://www.wearysloth.com/Gallery/ActorsE/tve5114-38-19631204-0.jpg - Jed Clampett

    You called down the thunder, now reap the whirlwind...

    Eh. Close enough.

    Buxton's steal of second looked like that guy in high school who knew he was going to win the hundred at the invitational and ran his qualifying heat accordingly so he could shoot for a personal best in the final.
  12. LaBombo
    Yup. Twins caught with FISP - Fielders in Sleeping Position.
  13. LaBombo
    Just think how much his former managers wish they had a dollar for every time they thought that.
  14. LaBombo
    Wow. Twins apparently were just introduced to the concept of the double steal.

    The fluid conversational grace of a man with a mouthful of bees. That's why they pay him the big money: "So the ideal basketball participant would be rapid, like... say, the bowels of an incontinent person?"

    At this point it's almost a relief to see him be put on the shelf, because if what we'd been seeing had been Santiago physically at the top of his game... bummer. I'm hoping for 'anyone but Gee' to get the call as well. But even he would be a major upgrade over Santiago if he can just reproduce his 2016 mediocrity.

    The Twins were one of the three worst teams in baseball last year, and one of the worst to be fielded by the organization in its post-Senators history. They were outscored by their opponents the season before that. That doesn't sound like much momentum to base the preservation of a contending roster on. The phrase "has issues" seems to fall a bit short of describing the struggles of a bullpen that ranks 2nd-worst in the AL in ERA, FIP, xFIP, and WAR, with a league low strikeout rate thrown in for good measure. With Santana pitching down to the level of his peripherals for the past month, the rotation, which also ranks near the bottom of the AL, has only one starter in whom the team should have any real confidence to have a strong second half. And while it's been extremely fun to watch the Twins play competitive baseball this season, they've been massively outscored again by their opponents, and play in a division currently led by the defending league champs. Like you, I'm hoping the Twins bring up some of their younger pitchers if they're ready. But if they contribute enough to help push the Twins toward legitimate contender status, it'll just be a nice bonus as far as I'm concerned.

    Don't have the game on TV. Did he strike out and then slide head first into the dugout?
  22. LaBombo
    Or Hurley, for that matter... http://truthaboutmusic.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/04/112237__hurley_l.jpeg

    One thing that Santana is, in a big way right now, is a microcosm of the sand castle season that the Twins are having. As much fun as they've been to watch, neither Santana nor the Twins have been quite as good as they've appeared to be so far this season.
  24. LaBombo
    Because their kicker doesn't have the leg for this distance?

    85 games left. Give it a week or two.
