    Insurance field goal preferable, please.

    Yikes, what a home half of the 8th. A pitch like that hanger that got launched at the right field fair pole was how Bootsie got killed. All they found was twenty dollars and a pair of Adidas.

    Three S's and a stick in diss-respek, Brow.

    That's one more than the total you get by adding his Fangraphs ZiPs, Steamer, and Depth Chart HR projections together. Let the Festive Dance of the Position Change Power Renaissance begin (a little behind schedule)!

    Not sure about a missed hit and run, but I'm starting to think that Dozier's legs are factory refurbs that had 30,000 miles on them when they were installed. Upper body is 29, legs are 31.

    Attitudes aside, you're heavily overestimating the amount of potential energy contained in this forum. http://muchmorethanmommy.files.wordpress.com/2009/02/gloom.jpg

    I had syria but a corpsman gave me some ointment that cleared it right up.

    Yup, and he wasn't shaving fractions of a percent off during that span. After whiffing 24% of the time in his rookie year, he cut down nearly 3% in his first full season and another 3% the following year. He leveled off at about 18% over 4 seasons, but then cut down again, sitting right around 14% for the next four seasons. Nobody is saying he's MigCab Jr, but that's at least one example of a guy who was able to lower his K rate by 10 points while not only not sacrificing power but adding it, going from an ISO in the low .200's to the middle and even high .200's during that span.

    Unless you're in the Hamptons or Beverly HIlls, in which case you probably have one right there in your neighborhood who can take care of it for you.

    And out of the time capsule from 2011 2012 2013 2014 2015 2016 popped a singing, dancing frog, along with a Twins fan's fervent hopes for a competitive pitching staff next year.

    Chicks dig rockers. http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-P848yWXqq0g/UPa7ASU3beI/AAAAAAAAAn0/kTWruLT2bdA/s200/money4prb.jpg Edit: Forgot Eddie is a fellow sax man, plus it was mean to use such a bad picture, so here's a better one. http://theconcertdatabase.com/sites/theconcertdatabase.com/files/eddie%20m.jpg

    He's got... two tickets to Triple A. Pack his bags and leave today.
  16. LaBombo
    He wasn't my first choice for mascot plagiarism. Didn't the Chargers briefly have some lightning bolt cartoon guy years ago who made it look like electricity could be used as a substitute for recreational drugs?
  17. LaBombo
    'He's Chaaaargie, the crackly, erratically, fantastically pitching pitchie man!'
  18. LaBombo
    Oh, you meant the fans.
  19. LaBombo
    Three way tedium tie: Watching Gibson contend for the 2016 Steve Trachsel Award, third string Vikings defensive backs doing their best Top Gun Hollywood's "Where'd whoooo go" impression, and Olympic rhythmic gymnasts singlehandedly raise the question of whether once every four years is too often.
  20. LaBombo
    Yes, but he makes up for it by being so slow and boring to watch that the batter is too lethargic to take advantage of it.
  21. LaBombo
    Most people have probably made up their minds about bringing back Molitor and/or Antony, but my guess is that we could remove all doubt by asking them to explain what it is that they hope to accomplish by starting Trevor Plouffe at third base. Edit: Ash helpfully pointed out that Sano's throwing elbow is under the weather, so I guess I'll wait until he's 100% before sharpening the pitchfork and fueling up the torch.
  22. LaBombo
    Bert getting on Gibson for Plouffe's unearnie because he didn't "pick up his teammate" after the error. We're glad Pluffie is back because of his glove, right?
  23. LaBombo
    My fault for not keeping up with the exploits of Mr. Rodriguez. Just when you think there's nothing more he could possibly do to convince you that being a wealthy professional athlete could actually be a bad thing...
  24. LaBombo
    Yeah, that's... kind of hard to even picture. Struggling to make routine plays in his own zone, plus deliberately knocking down the center fielder when he camps under the ball, maybe?
  25. LaBombo
    Unicorns are pretty rare to begin with. Finding one that would go along with that could be reeeeally tough.
