  1. Gotta hand it to the Twins. Bad bullpen? You can reduce the blown save percentage to pretty much zero if you don't turn a lead over to a reliever.

  3. Me too. Dude was awesome in Stripes.
  4. Ok, just make sure you put some pants on the moment you get there, ferchris'sakes. http://www.geek.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/07/terminator1-590x330.jpg

  7. Lucky! Our bowling alley only serves beer.
  8. Ok, only one more image, and then I'll save rest of them and the surplus likes for the game thread... http://i.imgur.com/QuCy4.jpg

  10. Ha! You almost got me to burn a like on that instead of saving it for the game thread. Denied, Lundegaard!
  11. That would be ideal, if the Twins would a), actually do that, and b}, not refuse to move Milone to the bullpen because of one potentially bad impromptu relief appearance. If you were managing, on the other hand, there wouldn't be a problem.
  12. I'm especially down with that analogy if the Twins' seeming indifference to their pitchers being unable to miss bats equates to having minimal concern about the absence of water in the pool.
  13. Yeah, I'd rather not see Meyer's first go at the rotation trapeze take place without a safety net. And with that decision, Milone takes an early lead in the 2016 running for the Twins' prestigious annual Blackburn Award, given to the rotation's Devil You Know...
  14. Yikes. Give him a start already. According to those pictures he's aging faster than the guy in Indy/Last Crusade who 'chose poorly' and drank from the wrong cup. Kidding aside, it seems reasonable, if maybe a little generous, to give the Twins the benefit of the doubt and wait to see what happens with Meyer, the pen, and the rotation after the burn from the Twins' self-inflicted unscheduled doubleheader wears off. On the other hand, the Twins have earned just about every bit of negative reaction to the Meyer/bullpen news they've gotten. The rotation's boycott of the strikeout continues, the alleged embarrassment of bullpen riches from the amateur draft has yet to materialize, and you could reasonably argue that a better rotation than the Twins' opening day one could be drawn from their bullpen and minor leagues (May, Berrios, Meyer, Duffey if he's headed for the pen, and one of the wonderkids like Gonz or Stewart).
  15. and also earn a one year PGA tour exemption.
  16. On the bright side, the Wild got booted from the playoffs this afternoon to take some of the sting off the Twins' loss.
  17. I've got a neighbor who's smoking some carp right now, maybe I can get us a beta tester discount on one of the first dime bags when it's ready.
  18. If I see JR Murphy on a shelf at Costco with a JR Murphy clone fastened to him with a plastic collar like they do with dishwasher soap, I'll know the Twins listened to your request.
  19. Hey now, come on, don't say that. If you think in terms of waking hours it's over a third of a day.
  20. Ya could'na maybe jus' done that in the frrrrreakin' 9th, Nats?
  21. I think I may have, but I do every year, so even I don't pay attention to me anymore.
  22. Don't forget the frame on your steampunk cyborg catcher. Framing is key.
  23. You mean, like, truck driving school or barber college?
  24. For a second I wasn't sure what you meant, until I realized you're still hoping for a win instead of just an end.
  25. Sort of a bad start for a new player in an organization to come in to compete with its worst player and end up making you wish that player could start at least 8 out of every 7 games.
