    It's hard to imagine how bad the bullpen would have been if it hadn't been an offseason priority.

    'Light's Velocity Drop Traced to Weak Delivery Grunt' Former women's tennis star Monica Seles to work with struggling fireballer.

    Maybe Blackburn can come out of retirement and no hit the Twins as an encore...

    Defense - only league?

    Missed you and the rest of the TD crew too. Had some vacation time I needed to use up, and also wanted to help TD avoid bandwidth overage charges the last week of August. Just read your game thread intro for the 31st in the archive - great work on the poster scouting reports! The profile you did for me was awesome, thanks! And don't worry about me having trouble finding D&D players. Plenty of folks to be recruited while working at my part-time gig as Ren Fest jousting sanitation engineer.

    Got it.

    If York Hunt is running, he has my vote.

    Mods' night off? Everyone get it out of your system...

    If Giant Toilet is not available, then I vote for Kruk...

    So forty HR already if not for the do over game. With 3 weeks left in the season, and September callup pitchers grooving 2-0 fastballs.

    Sitting at 13 right now, so he's gonna need the green light almost every time on base if he wants to surpass the 21 steals Brady had in '96...

    "The answer is... ... four?!?"
  15. LaBombo
    Yup. In fact, since his OPS nearly dipped below .600 on 18 May and didn't permanently clear .700 until 18 June, you could say that a 6 WAR for Dozier isn't just Madness; it's One Step Beyond... http://images.popmatters.com/misc_art/o/onetepbeyond-splsh.jpg

    OMG, is that... it can't... Must be a free-roaming vapor: No! It's real! "S N E P P ! ! !" http://images2.static-bluray.com/reviews/10297_1.jpg That's what I get for being on vacation for a week, I guess. Welcome back!

    In the postgame Dozier sounded like a guy who's had enough losing. Apologetic to the fans, felt awkward about a curtain call in a losing effort, but most of all and very atypical of him, down hard on Berrios, saying how frustrating it was to watch the lead dissolve because Berri couldn't locate his fastball. Another crap fest outing from the clown car bullpen clearly didn't help Dozier's mood either. Whether he would ever hint at wanting (let alone demand) a trade, or how much it would influence a new Twins GM, I have no idea. But he didn't sound like a guy who just hit 3 homers, who just virtually assured himself of reaching 40 HRs for the season, or who was still wound up over losing a game. Dozier sounded tired of being a Twin.

    Crazy Talk has foretold many a Twins move in the past five years...

    Gophers vs. Beavers... the Regrettable Mascot Choice Bowl. But you unjinxed the Goophs with your post and they're up by one with 8 minutes to go! Just the kind of insurmountable lead you're looking for against a team the Wall Street Journal called an 'embarrassing weakling' or some such.
  20. LaBombo
    Not for lack of trying.
  21. LaBombo
    Ervin scatters 11 hits over 5 innings to limit BS to 2 earned runs for the win... if, by "scattered", you mean "strategically placed with surgical precision". Ahhh, well.. the dreaded Streak is over, Buxton survived a 3AM flat tire and completed a mini-triathlon to get the airport, and he's now on pace for 28 home runs in September. What am I leaving out? Oh, yeah. Shaun Hill didn't blow out his knee while standing on the Vikings sideline. So good night all around.
  22. LaBombo
    Using backup remote with no 'previous channel' button so I'm stuck with one channel or the other, presenting a real quandary: Do I help the Twins avoid a historical losing streak by not watching and jinxing the bullpen as they try to protect their tiny four run lead, or do I preserve the suspense of how much bad a Bridgewaterless Vikings team can pack into a sixteen game season by not watching them?
  23. LaBombo
    The exuberance of avoiding another franchise record for futility is really starting to light up the Twins' faces... http://tonystake.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/04/20130903__1-joe-mauer-dugout-sad.jpg
  24. LaBombo
    Maybe he's trying to increase his chances of being considered for the GM job? After all, this is the franchise that said that it signed 32 year old, >1000 MLB innings pitched Kevin Correia because "our scouts really liked what they saw".
  25. LaBombo
    Oh, great. Pressley just returned a kickoff 108 yards for a Vikings TD. Imagine how gassed he's gonna be when he gets to the park to warm up for the 8th.
