    Poor Gibby, done in by the Coriolis Effect again...
  2. LaBombo
    Thanks! Joe is actually a righty as Darth, so the Topps reversed misprint is even more valuable than Darth's rookie card... http://img.comc.com/i/Non-Sports/2015/Topps-Star-Wars-Chrome-Perspectives-Jedi-vs-Sith-Medallions-Bronze/ASCD/Anakin-Skywalker-Count-Dooku.jpg?id=bfbb80cc-393d-471f-9b25-4f5ec7e6d5a6&size=zoom

    But making stuff up is more fun! Like how he's conveniently the same height as Darth Vader and you never see them together in the same place... http://www.tshirtvortex.net/wp-content/uploads/Vader-at-the-Bat.jpg

    The 2016 Twins. They've got their own bumper sticker and everything.
  5. LaBombo
    Or the Equator, for that matter.
  6. LaBombo
    If I had to guess, he was waiting for a Cleveland batter to get himself out so Gibson could qualify for the win, because individual counting stats are, after all, the point of the game.
  7. LaBombo
    Dick with an accidentally fabulous summary of the situation: "Gibson needing just one more out to qualify for the win". Would any manager in his right mind watch the Tim Wakefield fastball Gibson is lobbing up there and, without knowing the inning, score, or number of outs, think "Yeah, Gibby's good to go".

    And also the ideal college girlfriend, apparently.
  9. LaBombo
    There's no way to know what Ryan would have done. And yet somehow I agree with this completely.
  10. LaBombo
    Because Drew Butera something something something. I'm not taking sides. I just know that whenever/however Suzuki leaves the Twins, I'm going to miss making motorcycle sounds as he rounds the bases

    . If I were less than 110%* certain that you didn't hate nicksa, I wouldn't have said a thing. * 110 percent means still 100% certainty even when adjusted for offense-friendly PCL park factors.
  12. LaBombo
    Just to clarify, by liking your post I'm not liking your hating nicksaviking, or hating nicksaviking in general. It's really just more of an expression of the sense of relief that I feel when I see that there are other people like me who, after 5+ seasons of Twins suckdom, are also wary that the silver lining in any move by the Twins could turn out to be mercury instead.
  13. LaBombo
    But where's the fun in that kind of linear thinking? One of the first events in the Twins GM Search Challenge should be assembling a functional catching battery out of the body parts of AAAA catching prospects!
  14. LaBombo
    I'm about as big of a Nolasco non-fan as there is. But if the 'I'm not limited by money' story line that Ryan often relied on were true, then Nolasco's exit was always just a DFA away; no need to give up anything. This trade may be a net plus if Santiago > Meyer (which seems very possible with Meyer's shoulder issue), but otherwise it's mostly just a Pohlad pocket protector until they're more forthcoming about the true nature of Twins payroll constraints.
  15. LaBombo
    'He is compared to 90% of the guys the Twins have run out there the last 5 years' is probably the underlying thought there. That said, I was hoping the Twins would shop him at least one notch more aggressively than 'have to be blown away by an offer'
  16. LaBombo
    Maybe they can bring back Gardenhire as a bench coach/good luck charm, given his run of success vs the Yanks...
  17. LaBombo
    Wow. That would be a quick turnaround for any franchise, but especially one who almost always travels in the opposite direction on the veteran <=> prospect highway.
  18. LaBombo
    We played Korn at the company picnic... http://metamansion.com/wp-content/uploads/images/Korn_12240.jpg
  19. LaBombo
    But the Muzak version makes for great grocery shopping.
  20. LaBombo
    fwiw, to no one's surprise the Twins were among Lucroy's no-no's and one other potential trade piece as well...

    Billy Joel does not like this post http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_bd6xxWdZdxo/SxSQZxjnexI/AAAAAAAAF58/gHWPwcRVj64/s1600/billy_joel.jpg

    He's not even in the new Independence Day!
  23. LaBombo
    I think I'd rather see the Twins gamble on Hutchinson's age 26 and 27 seasons than Ervin's age 34 and 35, despite BProp's scathing review of his 2015. But Santana is the least imperative trade piece in my book.
  24. LaBombo
    I agree with what the Twins did, I agree that we agree, and I'm hoping they sort out his control so that next season we can watch the Charge-wah of the Light Brigade. PS "Seeing's the most important thing!"
  25. LaBombo
    It would be interesting to know if Light just can't find the strike zone in general at times, or if it's his breaking stuff that's the primary culprit. If he's been dominating with his fastball, a good developmental system would urge him to work on his other pitches more and that might contribute to the high walk rate.
