    It would be fine to have Suzuki on the roster even when his Mike Remond hitting impression is over. All it would take is a manager who was willing to watch Pinto learn on the job, and a front office and ownership confident that the franchise would be the better for it. On second thought, you're right. Trade Zukes, even though Mauer is done catching.

    He's a below-average hitter in the only relevant way to rank hitters, which is by position. 21st in wRC, 22nd in WAR (including a brutal -7.3 DEF), 22nd in wOBA, and 23rd in OPS. Out of 27 qualifiers. So he's closer to being bottom five than average, let alone above it or a star. It's likely that at least some of Mauer's slow start is due to injury. It's also possible that some of it is not. If that's the case, and he can't at least come close to duplicating his 2013 numbers, then in less than a year he will have gone from a virtual lock for the HOF to being a non-All Star and one of the most overpaid players in MLB. Big Mauer fan, but that's cause for concern, even when it's a popular local player.

    Like you just don't care? Take care not to find yourself an Outkast... http://allhiphop.files.wordpress.com/2014/01/outkast2.jpg?w=620

    Hitters too. Sorry. Couldn't resist.
  6. LaBombo
    Sorry, man. Static pic only. Bandwagon hits reveal that Twins fans are done with Correia and ready to move on, even at the expense of travel luxury: http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-yi7Hpg-uSY4/UH1EJtm0TgI/AAAAAAAAC7Q/8PC3VWqqlDE/s400/bandwagon.jpg

    As long as you have a good call plan, and won't be away too long after the Suzuki bomb that erases Pinto from the Twins' plans....

    You better be. Because George Brett, mister! http://mediadownloads.mlb.com/mlbam/2012/07/24/images/mlbf_3977861_th_13.jpg

    There's always the microwave to reheat and refresh, but it's not looking good. The back injury news is looking more like a life raft for Twins fans than a setback.

    Goin! http://www.shadowlocked.com/images/stories/features/invasion/Sutherland_scream_Invasion_Of_The_Body_Snatchers_Kaufman_1978.jpg

    Rian Bass? Asstro's OF?

    Gotta give it two weeks, just like most antibiotics. Even with gruff Yoda guy barking in your ear... You could still become a very dangerous poyson!
  13. LaBombo
    Probably, or maybe to his resemblance to a male body part... http://www.wearysloth.com/Gallery/ActorsH/80002-10931.jpg

    Good to know there's a fellow yolker out there. Bought a backpack in college half paid for by wagers in the dorm food service that I couldn't possibly swallow a sunny-side-up egg yolk whole. And keep it down. As if it were worms, bleach, or ipecac.
  15. LaBombo
    Nice throw by Zukesie, and as bummerish as it's been to see the offense stymied, Gibson holding up his end of a pitchers' duel is more significant.

    Pickled in Glenlivet? Emblazoned with Twins tats and hurled at the obnoxious Black Sox fan three rows up? Untouched and sold at crazy war profiteering prices? http://www.wearysloth.com/Gallery/ActorsS/15371-1323.gif

    Thought that was the scary chick from Blade Runner. TD schools me yet again. http://viscomfriday.files.wordpress.com/2011/04/pris552243.jpg?w=200

    Was going to reply with a cheerful 'At least they're getting on base!', but for some reason then thought 'No, at most they're getting on base'... http://eastinstudio.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/04/eastin11.jpg

    Nah, they put him in the Twins cap bullpen car with an intern behind the wheel. And before anyone becomes angered over them not using public transit, word has it that it's a tri-brid that runs off electric, gas, or Twins Way.

    AKA Collabello, with a bit of icing on the urinal cake from Parm. Ugly. Arcia should help, against righties anyway. Edit: Don't get me wrong, great story, will buy his book when it comes out (or at least sit in B&N and speed-read it for free), but man, that didn't pan out... http://www.imfdb.org/images/thumb/b/b2/TG_02.jpg/600px-TG_02.jpg
  21. LaBombo
    But at least it's vs. a lefty, the only kind of pitcher Willi has resembled a major league hitter against this season. Of course, since Arcia is batting cleanup, that may have had nothing to do with it.
  22. LaBombo
    Our cleanup hitter's slash against lefties in 2013: .254/.274/.386. Maybe Goin had a personal matter that prevented him from his usual role of heavily influencing Gardy on lineup construction...
  23. LaBombo
    It's almost certainly my imagination, but it seems like the increased scrutiny of the Twins' training and medical staff has made the Twins less likely to give updates and forecast return dates. That being said, it was a concussion, one of the least predictable injuries there is when estimating a return date.
  24. LaBombo
    Good thing it's not a drinking game night for me. "Downward plane" twice in the first inning. Would've made for a short night...
  25. LaBombo
    The obligatory 'nobody wants to see him hurt' factor aside, yeah. Coin flip. Gonna go with good news, because it may mean that both Pelfrey and the Twins will benefit from him getting healthy and then pitching better.
