    My fault for not keeping up with the exploits of Mr. Rodriguez. Just when you think there's nothing more he could possibly do to convince you that being a wealthy professional athlete could actually be a bad thing...
  2. LaBombo
    Yeah, that's... kind of hard to even picture. Struggling to make routine plays in his own zone, plus deliberately knocking down the center fielder when he camps under the ball, maybe?
  3. LaBombo
    Unicorns are pretty rare to begin with. Finding one that would go along with that could be reeeeally tough.

    Almost all of Thome's best seasons were after the late 90's Roid-o-Rama era was over. And Thome's increase in power profiles like a gradually maturing lefty slugger, not a 30/30 guy who suddenly sports a Russian power lifter upper body and a 60 HR season out of nowhere.

    You read my mind. While I was typing that I was picturing Sano and Mojo sitting on the couch watching TV and eating Cheetos.

    When your team loses 90 games or more for the better part of a decade, you give the fans the right to suggest literally anything to help turn the franchise around, up to and including petitioning MLB to allow Sano the use of a service monkey to assist him in fielding at third base. That being said, signing Rodriguez now would make less sense than the flyer the Twins took on Kendry Morales in 2014, if Morales had also turned out to secretly be Emperor Palpatine.

    Agree on the addition by subtraction, especially shedding Plouffe. There's bound to be less enthusiasm for moving Suzuki because he's not blocking anyone near the perceived potential of Sano or Polanco, but the sooner he's gone the sooner they can finally get serious about finding a real replacement for Mauer. Not sure if other teams will block the Twins as aggressively with an interim manager in the captain's chair. Antony is (or should be) looking to distinguish himself rather than avoid mistakes. He may be looking to add another prospect or two OR save ownership a million or two by not pulling back a claimed veteran, in order to build his resume. At the very least, other teams can't count on Antony to act exactly as Ryan would have with waiver claims, which should be a plus.

    So the reflexive expectation management brought on by this season hasn't been totally for naught...

    Undemoted and unbenched? Fair to mostly better than Dantana? His arm looked adequate on the radio. Maybe some thicker socks would make him a bit taller and give him the downward plane those long throws need in order to beat the runner.
  10. LaBombo
    And no errors for Sano!
  11. LaBombo
    He loves the smell of quality start in a road game.

    I got just the thing for that in my tackle box... http://i.ebayimg.com/images/g/luYAAMXQTghRTN3c/s-l300.jpg

    Max's dad, you are lean and angular! Now is the time on FSN Postgame when we dance!

    Real Alec Baldwin in this looks to me like Herman Munster trying to avoid stepping in dog poo.

    That sounds much more doable than our attempt at chickens#!^ chess. If you think it's hard to explain the en passant rule to 4th graders, try getting a Cornish game hen to understand. "If your chicken lays an egg does it count as another queen?" "Of course it counts! How do you play?" http://www.mentalfloss.com/blogs/wp-content/uploads/2012/11/TSOTL.jpeg

    Not without surgery, anyway.

    I had always imagined it was patient introspection on Nishioka's face, but maybe he had skipped ahead to boredom. http://www.twincities.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/11/20110311_105647_nishioka.jpg And depression.

    Or if your team were on pace to lose... like... one hundred games or something. That's never happened, though, right? Because if each game lasts like three hours and you watched all 100 losses, you'd end up watching... like, what... 300 hours of losing baseball? But that could never happen. Right?
  21. LaBombo
    That explains why I could hear Longoria's dad yelling from the stands during Evan's rookie year, riding the manager for not batting him cleanup.
  22. LaBombo
    Thank goodness I'm not the only one who takes it seriously. The other parents were pretty skeptical of me during my assistant coaching days when I encouraged the kids to charge the T if it brushed them back.
  23. LaBombo
    When the ball is fouled back out of play I almost expect to hear a crash followed by a car alarm going off. I've been to T ball games with more crowd noise.
