    My status wasn't cemented already? Might have tried harder to salvage, had I known. Oh well, will just think of it as a less comprehensive form of 'eternal youth' and move on.

    And heads-up baseball by Dozier to catch the lead runner. Meltdown avoided!

    Gardener's ninja spin move on the hot box was vintage Punto fake hustle. It's like they're prospectors, but instead of gold dust, they get paid for uniform dirt...

    Thanks, had to make up for whiffing on any image of Ryan's surprise walk-on cameo in an off-Broadway production of Cats....

    Just their annoying tendency to fragment and end up on a piece of paper occasionally, leaving that semi-transparent spot that reminds you that you have eaten what amounts to a very tiny organic oil refinery.

    Arcia impressive at the plate tonight...

    Eyelid... stitches? Did I hear that right? Hope it doesn't hurt his ability to breathe through it...

    Don't worry, still plenty of game left for a real injury.

Actually, an 8 seems generous. And yeah, Bo Derek seemed less 10ish than some of her contemporaries even before she hooked up with Rob Lowe in Tommy Boy, thereby retroactively removing most of her prior hotness.
  13. LaBombo
    High top end, but great acceleration too. More useful for infielding and base-stealing than max speed. Hope he's ok. Now Hicks gets to bat against a lefty, which might be even better than the mental break of watching from the dugout...
  14. LaBombo
    No acting, but singing and dancing... http://d24w6bsrhbeh9d.cloudfront.net/photo/aeN07Gq_460sa.gif Good enough?
  15. LaBombo
    There's a help line for this. Remember, you are not alone. TD is pulling for you.
  16. LaBombo
    Arcia. That would have been a wow vs. a RHP, but vs. a lefty that's really impressive. And the answer is yes, Derek, you stayed a year too long.
  17. LaBombo
    Agree with all of this, but it's not surprising to see somewhat increased skepticism about Twins prospects in general with several notable disappointments recently, and the only guy making a significant contribution in the majors (Dozier) less a prospect than a suspect until less than a year ago.
  18. LaBombo
    That means lucky, right? http://americancowboy.com/sites/default/files/Tombstone%20shot%202-1_0.jpg
  19. LaBombo
    It's a race to see whether El Nino or El Nuno blows away the Twins first...
  20. LaBombo
    Pinto .000 last night + Twins loss = no Pinto for a week. Would he even get to catch at all if Deduno didn't want him as his personal catcher? Rapidly approaching the point of hoping for a massive Zukesie slump that forces Gardy's hand. Oh well. Maybe Pinto gets a start in the doubleheader after the rainout.
  21. LaBombo
    If that doesn't do it for you, had pretty good results with this...
  22. LaBombo
    Yo! My mods! Toss that post! Come to papa! Let's go! ("With all due respect") http://www.jessiebunning.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/03/5_Stripes.jpg
  23. LaBombo
    Unless onboard Snakes on a PlaneAir; might have to endure phone menu to stay safe instead.
  24. LaBombo
    Wait, wait, know this one... 90% off Daniel Child jerseys in the gift shop? 10% markup on Ramon Oviedo jerseys after he got three scoreless outs despite issuing FIVE walks? Pitching or bullpen coach opening in Clearwater? Does Andy have a twitter account?
  25. LaBombo
    Sure. Almost any downward move in the system generally loses its developmental value after a player has dominated the next lower level. That's pretty much a given. But Cola and Parms both OPS'ed over 1.000 in their initial stints in AAA. Hicks OPS'ed in the mid-.600's . Even given the position difference, that's not just comparing apples to oranges, that's comparing apples to hand grenades. And then there is the 'oh, by the way' factor of his learning to hit same side pitching for the first time since grade school. If you don't have a stronger case that simultaneously promoting Hicks to the level above the last one he enjoyed across-the-board success at and having him working on a new way of hitting will actually hurt his development, then it comes down to why else he should be here. And if that reason is to give the Twins the best chance to win games, my next questions are 'how many?' and 'to what end?'
