    Artist's rendering of possible snepp commuter vehicle for the coming week: http://www.collectinghq.com/im/0011319.jpg Not watching the game, so it's hard to tell if Gardy is still embracing the 'one batter too late' philosophy of starter/bullpen management. At least they stranded the yellow dot at third.

    Good luck after the Twins series, Tyler. And Don't Go Back to Rockville.

    Tell her to please keep watching and figure that out. I'm guessing that at the very least, there's an autographed Justin bobblehead in it for her.

    That's pretty much what I was getting at, believe it or not. Sorry dude, I'll be more careful. Or at least try harder not to get caught. http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_j-tJbLLUsAQ/SapBoAwv_pI/AAAAAAAAANM/41Zc_JzGs1s/s400/mistakes.were.made.JPG On an entirely unrelated note, yet astonishingly thread-related, this season the Twins are somehow less painful for me to watch during games like this than they were last year...

    Let's hope he gets a chance to work his defensive magic...

    Good to know, if I ever start eating them in moderation instead of just shaking the full can vigorously and pouring the broken pieces into my mouth.
  7. LaBombo
    I think he's saying you might still get your chance if you stick around.

    Suddenly I feel even luckier that all I got was a deleted post and the non-specific glare.

    So you've been to my inlaws' house for dinner too?

    I blame Doumit's framing for that. Also, he's being a good clubhouse guy by making sure Duensing's only glimmer of usefulness isn't threatened.

    Or the android owl from Bladerunner either. But yeah, he's gettin' there, 11 k's per nine and zero inherited runners scored.

    Here's a suggestion if you need an alternative avatar for rallies or bad days... http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_SniTwfm5BwE/S_LVTaBGQGI/AAAAAAAACYw/fc90k9kUJmI/s1600/Aliens+Ripley+%26+Hicks.jpg

    Wait, I thought it was... eh, never mind, recycling is good for the planet...

    Was thinking about making a comment about another thread when I got a text from my inner Admiral Ackbar... http://memeorama.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/12/admiral_ackbar_says_its_a_trap.jpg

    That trend varies in proportion to how long a player has been in baseball. Front offices know a ton more about almost any given draft prospect than most fans do, not just because of how knowledgeable scouts are, but because of the massive resources they have to see so many first-hand or consult trusted experts about others. But after a player has multiple seasons in the minors, the gap between front offices and fans narrows a bit, and continues to do so as a player makes it to the majors and sustains a career there. By the time a guy is a 30 year old free agent with 6 or 7 MLB seasons, the gap in FO and fan knowledge is a fraction of what it was on the day that player was drafted. How much that gap still is by that point will always be a controversy. At any rate, totally agree about the randomness of the MLB amateur draft. It seems to have more high-round busts and low-round successes than the other three major sports' drafts combined. Hoping the Twins are on their collective game for this year's.

    Spent a month of the 89 season in a cast, far from the midwest, and only baseball on TV was Braves or Cubs, so pretty much Cubs. Harry set the league record for random announcer tangents that season. Steve: "The Cubs are running out of time to rally, with the bottom of the order due up and Dibble warming up in the pen" Harry: "Dibble spelled backward is 'ElDib'! Steve: "However you spell it, he's spelled trouble for the Cubs this..." Harry, interrupting: "I'm sorry, that would be ElBid!" And of course after asking the producer for 'another shot of that honey in the tube top', Harry helpfully offered the observation that "The guy she's with is not that good lookin'!". Always watched a few Cubs game every season after that, for as long as he was on the air.

    Honest to God, I was just trying to return Django Unchained and she just... swear to God, I had no idea she was your gra... Peace, Brother.

    Ugly incident at Redbox movie return tonight, so I'm totally ready to relate that tale to anyone who needs the "ew" refresher.

    Heads up. Large ACME delivery from UPS on his porch. Balloons, anvil, other suspicious materials. Recommend umbrella defense, physics be damned. Good luck.

    So those.... count less? @#%! Wait. Is this official board policy or just a projection from the forum's scouting department? Is there a park adjustment for people posting from the road? WTF!?!
  24. LaBombo
    My guess is that whatever you wrote after "overly sarcastic" made sense, but the matter/anti-matter collision of those words made me dizzy. Wait. Coming into focus now. Yes, like 23-year-olds starting... well, anything for the first time. Present company early 20's excepted, of course. Snark fail on my part. I'm not on the foot patrol of the Hicks Defense League, I'm the guy they're macing. Even though I think he'll be....I meant IS good! Gotta go.

    Willi's pull down the 3b line is involuntary manslaughter in almost any beerball league game in America.
