  1. Yup. But that's why the Twins still have Dave St. Peter. He can always find an alternative way to sell a team with 'differently abled appeal': http://ih1.redbubble.net/image.68115033.7829/flat,800x800,075,f.u2.jpg
  2. And that's the beauty of dropping three quarters of your games in the first two months of the season. You can charge people to watch a four month long instructional baseball camp. Now if the Twins could just figure out a way to get the players to pay for attending...
  3. Nothing screams 'Start of a late-inning three run rally' like a bunt attempt that has to have a flight plan on file with the FAA...
  4. True, although they got what they deserved with the ill-advised 'Byron Buxton, Contact Machine' spot.
  5. You mean the entire 2016 season after starting 0-9?
  6. Yes. [waits for cease and desist order]
  7. Suddenly we understand what the wascally wabbits are doing there... http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-AxvxT1NGHwk/Uf6WE_JqTAI/AAAAAAAAWEc/fzN39VFGI7o/s1600/Screen+Shot+2013-08-03+at+22.23.14.png
  8. Watching right-handed Lorenzo Cain lob serve the ball into short right: Tom Brunansky's "Look what Zog do" coaching moment with Brian Dozier on the Twins bench...
  9. On a potentially related note, Vitameatavegamin sales are up 450% in Minnesota since the Twins' season started... http://33.media.tumblr.com/fee9435ef6d9c407315d6acedd1f11fd/tumblr_ml82sjBddp1r6sivjo5_250.gif
  10. At this point literally the worst thing that can happen from that or ANY other experiment is 120 losses instead of 110. Bert finally going saber on it: "4-18 in the division is not good". Easy on the analytics, Bert, you've still got to drive home tonight.
  11. Hey, we all have our wish list. Underwear made of something softer than burlap, not sleeping on the office couch at a cement plant, an even number of teeth. Dreams make life worth living.
  12. Highlight of the night is a Web Gem by Wrong Escobar.
  13. Yes, in exactly the same way that Thelma and Louise are alive and well at the end of the movie... http://www.iamag.co/features/tlouiseremake/tlouise3.jpg
  14. That's what the Yankees thought too, and then he made the Statue of Liberty disappear... http://i1137.photobucket.com/albums/n510/nonhocapito/Snap1-3.jpg
  15. Salt lick out by the batter's eye. He's scouting locations for his stand in the fall. http://www.alafarmnews.com/afcfarmnews/images/stories/0810/0810_minerals_deer.jpg
  16. I'm still watching to see where they're going, but I'm starting to suspect it's a loop. Either that or they live in a city with a @#%load of banks.
  17. That's awesome! I can't believe I missed that! Has there been Marsha vs. Laurie mud wrestling yet? Please say yes.
  18. That's the one; it followed their exploits raising a family while touring in a multi-colored covered wagon and playing folk rock in the casinos of the true native population of Minnesota. http://a1.files.biography.com/image/upload/c_fit,cs_srgb,dpr_1.0,q_80,w_620/MTMzMjYwMDg4NTM3MzAzMDUw.jpg Also, and I admit to being a bit hazy on this, I believe the two youngest children were possessed.
  19. That would be awfully nice, but seeing as how they have so little faith in their other options, the narrative may need some help if it's not going to go quietly... http://static1.squarespace.com/static/569d497842f55250d9228138/56f07f163c44d828f6916b1c/56f07f1b59827e39fce5227b/1458601761266/fbi-swat-photo.jpg
  20. I like it. Or they could play strip baseball. Every error, missed cutoff man, failed bunt, and 3-0 Broadway fastball results in the loss of a uniform part. Any bets which Twin ends up Full Monty first? http://i3.manchestereveningnews.co.uk/incoming/article7781342.ece/ALTERNATES/s615/FULL.jpg
  21. But Engle had the feel-good story of raising his family of 18 in a shed made of lawn clippings and driftwood, right here on the plains of Minnesota... http://i.huffpost.com/gen/2316408/images/o-LITTLE-HOUSE-ON-THE-PRAIRIE-CAST-facebook.jpg
  22. It would make for an even more indelible career data point for Terry Ryan than the name 'Ron Coomer' when Grossman comes up in the occasional trivia question down the road.
  23. There's been a sharp, coincidental decline in his interest in advanced metrics since then too, I've noticed. A more cynical person might think that interest was only based on what metrics could do to build his case for the Hall. Luckily cynicism is biologically incompatible with Twins fandom.
  24. Fret not, troubled fan. His redemption is just a one out sac bunt away...
  25. Oh, MFG! Easy as 1, 2, 3! http://i.dailymail.co.uk/i/pix/2013/03/26/article-2299192-18ECD146000005DC-371_634x419.jpg
