    Do you mean the magic trick where he made the baseball disappear and a runner appear at third? Suzuki smells another one. Maybe no extra innings after all.
  2. LaBombo
    Maybe it's an organizational protest statement against the evils of Moneyball.
  3. LaBombo
    And he won't. Except when someone needs a day off. Or is nicked up. Or goes into a slump. Or goes on the DL. Or gets sent down. Or gets moved before the waiver deadline. Other than that...

    "What was Jason Bartlett's box score line in every single game as a 2014 Twin?"
  5. LaBombo
    If only he'd gotten to throw it as a reliever after 7 innings of Bob Tewksbury and The Dominator, they'd have been swinging at it a day late and change.

    Seemed like a good guy. No bad as 5th starters go. Good move for all. That being said, it might be as instructive to know where the Twins stand and are headed as a franchise by hearing what KC's time here was meant to accomplish as it would be to hear another defense of Antony's remarks about his definition of FiP as "First strike in innings Pitched".

    Patience must you have, and soon will you see...

    Weird ex Where do you stand on wind-aidedness metrics? Carl Lewis asked me to ask you, and Joe Morgan is taking some dangerous cuts in the batter's box.
  9. LaBombo
    My fault. Your standards are good. The Twins are bad.

    Going acoustic modem secure: M@y sharp @s pre-sch00l sciss0rss, rest of crew looks lost, Joe Morgan n0t on sight to debate Moneyball. Check the coin return of the only functioning phone booth in America.

    You're a fan of a team that has found a use for Butch Huskey, Bret Boone, and whoever all those guys were who pitched like they were hoping for a strike while bowling with a tennis ball and the kiddie fences up. In other words, your usefulness standards are way too high. In fact, since you admitted that being a Twins fan recently is a character-building experience, my contention would be that you should be closer to being added to the TD 40-person than having to apologize.

    While we're on the subject, why is my avatar inside either a goldfish bowl or a 1950's TV set/bomb shelter? Not complaining because awesome, just wondering why me/how come. Haven't seen any others like it.
  13. LaBombo
    The worm is there because why? It seemed that a delightful young lady in Tijuana had concisely explained this for me, until I suddenly remembered that I didn't speak a word of Spanish besides Ci, Pesos?, and the chorus from La Bamba.
  14. LaBombo
    You know what they say about having to explain a joke. It means your audience either needs more sense of humor, or another shot of Maker's Mark.
  15. LaBombo
    Just me, or is it easier to have fond, nostalgic memories of jobs like that when they're brief?
  16. LaBombo
    Have fun, but the apparent intent to correlate the innings pitched by the Twins with the actual passage of time is a little hard to understand.
  17. LaBombo
    Pretty sure that this is tongue-in-cheek, but it makes for an interesting conversation... Herb Pennock, Red Ruffing, Early Wynn, Catfish Hunter, Don Sutton, Rich Gossage, Nolan Ryan, Sandy Koufax. Three things about that list. They're all in the HoF, nicknames were way cooler back in the day, and all of them but Pennock and Koufax had ERA+'s in the 90's during their first five seasons. Only Herb averaged fewer than 100 IP per season. His ERA+ was 70 over his first five seasons. Koufax's was a dead-average 100. And several are high-K guys who suffered from control issues. Not trying to paint this as a rebuttal to what was just an 'ehh, really?' response to the nothingburger that we all got a big bite of tonight from May's long-anticipated debut. Just sayin', even some of the best pitchers in the history of the game took years, not months or weeks, to figure things out. They were all very young when called up, and turned it around about the time they were May's age. In other words, http://st.depositphotos.com/1516135/2556/i/170/depositphotos_25566425-Earthy-background-image-and-design-element-depicting-the-words-stuff-happens.jpg

    I'm your Huckleberry. That's just my game
  19. LaBombo
    Point shamefully taken. Lucky to send my cards from the right planet, let alone from the right month.
  20. LaBombo
    Mine told me being heavily insured and being hit by a rock band tour bus was my only chance. He might still be right.
  21. LaBombo
    Possibly it's the lateness of the hour, but was that not one of the weaker called thirds to end a one-run game? Not a Black Sox outrage, just a head-scratcher.
  22. LaBombo
    Point taken, and then celebrated. That being said, if your high school guidance counselor had told you that you had a shot at playing drums for a living and that you could be part of the ATM machine aftermath of a well-known band, let alone its heyday, would you not have sent him a Christmas card every December?
  23. LaBombo
    Mmm. Might explain the locusts in the yard and the redness of the water when attempting to fill dog's water bowl. Was it.... a hair concern? Please, for the love of God, say no....
  24. LaBombo
    Fraudehat? Totally on the same page...
