  1. Competing for shelf space with the Lord of the Rings Lite-up Goblets... http://thumbs4.picclick.com/d/l400/pict/222214504583_/LORD-OF-THE-RINGS-Light-up-Glass-Goblet-Collection.jpg
  2. http://i.telegraph.co.uk/multimedia/archive/02639/nippon_2639753b.jpg
  3. For sure. It looked like a foul into the stands off the bat. Or off the end of the bat, rather. He's been lucky to just make contact vs. RHP lately, let alone drive the ball. Maybe the rust is finally wearing off.
  4. Holy carp! Plouffe homer vs. a right-handed pitcher!
  5. http://media3.s-nbcnews.com/j/msnbc/Components/Art/NEWS/040813/VLRG_13th.grid-5x2.jpg
  6. Mauer has been significantly less awful than he was last year, but Bremer's reference to his getting the benefit of the doubt with respect to the strike zone made me wonder not only how much longer that may be the case, but how much it's still really true even now.
  7. At first I assumed this was in reference to the Jays homer, but then I realized it was a much broader reflection on the Twins' season... http://www.lasalle.edu/wp-content/uploads/2015/08/dalai-lama.jpg
  8. I really like Coomer, if for no other reason than that he really came into his own as a Twins icon after his playing days were over. But when I see what he looked like back then, it still makes me think that he must have at least occasionally had a hell of a time convincing a non-fan here or there that he was a major league baseball player.
  9. http://www.ducksters.com/sports/football/signal_offside.JPG Five yard penalty, replay game off DVR.
  10. You'd think more people would listen after he told all those folks on the dock not to board the Titanic.
  11. Santana's strike zone discipline is slowly but surely improving. He used to run up into the stands to swing at balls out of the zone, but now he stays on the field at least. So that's progress.
  12. Everybody gotta send somebody... http://www.tradingcarddb.com/Images/Cards/Baseball/1469/1469-79Fr.jpg
  13. There was an outrage earlier over the non-reversal of the 'safe' call on Plouffe...
  14. As opposed to if it had been the Strib, in which case your mistake would have been reading it in the first place.
  15. A commune of Khmer villages in the Battambang Province of Cambodia. He means that Ervin's stuff is so hard to pick up that it might as well be coming at them from Southeast Asia. Bam. That just happened. You're welcome.
  16. Are you sure you've got the right team? http://www.informetoday.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/05/Blue-Jays-Rangers-brawl.jpg
  17. Beat me to it, but I'll add that neither the possibility of an afternoon of right-handed Mauer or crazy 70charger is necessarily a bad thing either.
  18. Dozier's season had gradually gone from worrisome to excellent, but with the rest of the team settling back into its 90 loss form, he reminds me more and more of the mid-90's Knoblauch, a perennial All Star whose best years were wasted while surrounded by a collection of stiffs and kids.
  19. I thought he'd be called out too, but it had more to do with general pessimism about the Twins and about Plouffe specifically than any real certainty it was the correct call. Apparently the tag and the off-the-bag part of the slide didn't coincide.
  20. Against the Blue Jays, no less; the team that's been standing in as our substitute AL East El Guapo until the Yankees come to their senses and start slapping the Twins around like a tether ball again. http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m52nxxgEAb1qmfg84o1_500.jpg
  21. Bruno: Lay off the high ones. Rosie: I like the high ones. Bruno: Mule! Rosie: Nag! http://img2.timeinc.net/ew/dynamic/imgs/070807/gallery/league_l.jpg
  22. Showoff. You could have at least saved us some time by reminding us sooner than late August that you had written a brutal one-sentence season preview that accurately foretold the ugliness to come.
  23. Held 'em to a one touchdown deficit. Not bad for a presea... Oh. Yeah. That's not 'til Sunday. http://degruchy.org/assets/posts/fbi-hacking/picard-facepalm.jpg
  24. I was gonna say something about it but then my search for a sleeping Corgi picture made me pretty tired. That, plus he's Alex Wimmers.
  25. Well spent in the process of accumulating 10,896 'Likes" ? http://images6.fanpop.com/image/photos/36700000/Uncle-Scrooge-McDuck-image-uncle-scrooge-mcduck-36753956-500-375.gif
