    My dog got tix on Friday. Flame-based removal procedure resulted in insurance adjusters still working the neighborhood today. Enjoy the game! And beware the potentially gusty winds; they can spread disaster even more quickly than a beloved family pet set ablaze during a tix-otomy gone wrong.

    TD grant. You've earned it.

    Incredible accuracy given the absence of his service dog, Mr. McBarker...

    He's a sailor! He's sailing! He sails!

    MMMister, or Allan?
  6. LaBombo
    I have. I'm sure they're down there somewhere. Lemme take another look...
  7. LaBombo
    Don't say anything, and you can probably avoid the DL.

    Morris says the Twins have a rash of inj... bad things happening? Still preferring him to Bert. That's getting closer to preferring Reboulet over Punto than I care to admit.
  9. LaBombo
    But at least not killed.

    Van Morrison wants his Domino back. And he'll be happy to tell you to your face at his performance. Not your fault. He's just like that.

    As long as it doesn't Smell Like Teen Spirit. Almost out of Fabreez. Nice way to start watching the game, with Arcia in his HR trot between 1st and 2nd. In the replay it looked like a line drive that almost smoked a fan.

    Yup. Laudner gets a boost relative to the names you mentioned because they get penalized by that stat (which is fun by the way, and a nice addition to the recap of Willingham's Twins career) for every single they hit. When you switch to isolated power, which measures bases per AB, all your names finish ahead of Laudner. His approach at the plate epitomized the "Swing hard in case you hit it" philosphy. It's difficult to imagine a more stark contrast between a hitter like Laudner and his successor, Brian Harper. Laudner hit 77 homers in about 2200 PA's for the Twins, but struck out in nearly 25% of them. Harper hit just 48 home runs in roughly 2700 PA's with the Twins, but struck out in only about 5% of them.

    Who you callin' argumentative, Bub? As for TD not picking up on your sense of humor, well, sometimes it takes a while for visionaries to be appreciated. Don't be afraid. Lenny Bruce wasn't.

    Alternative title: who's in?
  15. LaBombo
    You couldn't at least be bothered to capitalize the 'Y'? Chair Force. .

    , Hello Biela! Here I am at...Comas Sola! The initial image makes me worry that the Medical Frigate from Star Wars has been mercilessly peppered by paper mache from an angry pre-school program. Fingers crossed, though. Fair solar winds, following Seas of Tranquility. and May the Eigenvectors be with you.

    "Let's play two!" As 18th ends in a tie... "Ernie, you're a great player and we all love you, but don't ever say that again."
  18. LaBombo
    Heh. Does that mean the comment wasn't cheap, or that I'm not crediting my cheapness enough?
  19. LaBombo
    He's done it so often you almost catch yourself taking it for granted. Almost. And the 12 game losing streak to the A's is over.
  20. LaBombo
    You are correct. Had middling lower deck seats between home and first, about 20 rows back, and it felt like upper deck seats minus the top-down perspective. Day after the 1991 opener. Pretty packed house as Henderson was about to tie Brock's stolen base record. Stadium erupted when he reached base, but not a good jump on the steal attempt; Junior Ortiz gunned him down . Instant near-silence in the stadium, except for me. Oh, and had only lived in the Bay area a couple of months before that game. One of the guys who delivered my furniture noticed my Twins shirt and cheerfully noted that he and a buddy had gotten into a fight with a Twins fan at an A's game. "Beat him up pretty good!". Oakland. Ah, the memories.
  21. LaBombo
    What? He's batting .286 this year! Oh, sure, some might point to the .362 babip or the .219 avg against righties, but c'mon. He's got a cool-sounding name!
  22. LaBombo
    Yeah, but trying to wait until the game is over... Sorry, that was cheap. Even for me.
  23. LaBombo
    And give them until noon EST tomorrow, keeping Willi frozen in carbonite until then to avoid injury...
  24. LaBombo
    They've stopped using him for more than one inning. He's gotten more than three outs one time this year; four outs back in May vs. Detroit.
  25. LaBombo
    Might want to put it on your 'to do' list for 2016, though...
