  1. Which is visible via Fox, and also from space via the NASA website, http://www.chinadaily.com.cn/english/doc/2005-04/19/xin_530402190031130297705.jpg But apparently not from the Twins dugout...
  2. Shocked... Shocked! http://cdn2-b.examiner.com/sites/default/files/styles/image_content_width/hash/cd/66/cd660f2ebb980bb75519a8a27954b7d2.jpg?itok=XGkRXzkI Expedia says that there's a 6:21 am departure from ROC tomorrow morning... Just sayin.
  3. http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-CqDUDRpf7lQ/Tho0_jsOuJI/AAAAAAAAAPM/v0vPsEDxHgA/s1600/girl-crossing-arms-angry-280X280-0.JPG
  4. Well played. Was going to go with a Restaurant at the End of the Universe ref earlier. Dozier's been great on the base paths this season, even better than last year. BsR backs that up. His instincts have gotten so good that it's hard for me to find fault with his tendency to be a little aggressive at times, especially with instances like that one where the Twins have the lead and there are two out. Not a big deal. That said, not doing it again would be good.
  5. Good update. The 9 K's are a cause for concern, but otherwise looks to be pitching Twins Way ball...
  6. Good post, and it reminded me not to take it for granted that BPA in the MLB draft is not a universally accepted concept. And that I still don't understand why. Makes for some good debates, though...
  7. Who asked about Correia jinx limit? J/k, it's not your fault the real KC was late to the ballpark. A year late.
  8. I've been warned not to wander around TD in my bathrobe mid-day, setting entire threads on fire, and still get to post. Guessing you're pretty far from any sort of contempt issues. And you have a keen wit, so contempt ===>>> snark, potential issue defused.
  9. That's about as close to the mythical 'Five run homer' as I've ever seen... How long until the first bases-loaded Arcia intentional walk?
  10. Twins drawing a huge number of pitches yet again. Amazing for a team that has mostly lacked power for a good chunk of the season...
  11. The rock lobster is especially delicious there. We went there once in my Chrysler. Big as a whale, it was.
  12. "That's the way...Uhhuh Uhhuh"
  13. It can never be too early, but can be too late after his last inherited runner scores... Sweet double play for 4 Leaf Correia http://www.moviequotesandmore.com/image-files/tropic-thunder-quotes-37.jpg
  14. Gomez' defense making me want to punt Bill Smith's Baxter, and I'm a mostly life-long dog owner/lover who has volunteered for various anti-abuse charity events. http://media-cache-ec0.pinimg.com/originals/95/8d/e1/958de14e2ff0b404eefd82292e034e59.jpg
  15. Dad mandated natural righty to switch hit... Red Alert! http://img710.imageshack.us/img710/7118/bridge2n.jpg J/k. Looks like a great pick, and good vibe off the phone interview on Fox. Sounds like a sharp kid, and BP with a dad who pitched well for over 20 years in MLB (despite standing five feet, nine inches) probably dials up your skills at the plate in a hurry. Looks like a great pick.
  16. 'Make as much money as possible, while attempting to improve the franchise's ability to make even more money in the future via improved on-field product'? Got no problem with the first part, as long as it doesn't get in the way of the second. My guess their priority is that the second part not get in the way of the first.
  17. "Where doesn't it hurt?" http://25.media.tumblr.com/a6e699119b142f35aa5f2a737b08d9eb/tumblr_mgyf5c9bU01qetk25o3_250.gif
  18. Well, it worked for the droids in those three movies Lucas made after the Star Wars trilogy, so I'm game http://img2.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20130828155934/starwars/images/d/dc/Destroyer_droid_sequence.png Tonight's game had more than its fair share of 'uh oh' and 'oh, crap!' moments with regard to possible injury than is fair for a week night. And the two hottest (in baseball terms) players, Dozier and Willi involved.
  19. Willingham aeronautical in the postgame; play at the plate was barrel roll, not loop (aka somersault). Also meant to mention that Arcia's RBI off the lefty was as impressive as the homer. Great adjustment to a pitch that fooled him before.
  20. When your plan comes to fruition, be sure to to go for more than one... million dollars! http://i351.photobucket.com/albums/q445/greendemon77/Austin_Powers_Mike_Myers_as_Dr_Evil.jpg Nice win. Starting to think Willi's DL time involved time at an experimental bionic implant clinic. And Dozier continues to impress, while Arcia... well, didn't see this coming.
  21. Especially to a kid with just a couple hundred PA's in the majors...
  22. My questions were the answer to the riddle. Also, there is no spoon. http://carolhardick.files.wordpress.com/2011/05/matrix-spoon.jpg Wait. Were you just messing with me? http://ia.media-imdb.com/images/M/MV5BMTY3ODIwNTY5NF5BMl5BanBnXkFtZTcwOTg2MzQ2MQ@@._V1_SX640_SY720_.jpg
  23. Soooo close, but rural background, 'farmer' instead of 'arm'
  24. And is missing some teeth? And should give back those 200 arms to their rightful owners?
  25. True, but his catlikeness can't compare to the randomness of Chili Davis, seen in this video in KC:
