    If I were a highly-ranked ultimate fighting guy and Ryan Doumit stepped into cage looking like he did in the postgame interview, I would one and two myself and sob like a little girl to get let out. Direct, unflinching acceptance of his share of blame and felt bad for Correia. But you could tell that he would rather be working on his platoon disadvantage against left-handed Gatorade coolers.

    InterWeb address, please...

    'And that's when the fistfight started, officer.'

    To make room for...? Agree that Dozie is a sub-optimal candidate for middle infield competency. But the heads to call for are several floors up.
  5. LaBombo
    Your post is discriminatory toward the chronologically endowed and persons overly protective of the fruit of the crabapple tree in their back yard. Brace yourself for the inevitable class action.

    Correia + "dominate" = 404 not found error.

    I have the other guy Rotowire says to hold in case Holland spontaneously combusts. Hope that doesn't make it a wash. Hey, at least nobody has jinxed them by uttering the words "Bruce Ch..." Whoa. That was close. Nice walk by Parm.

    And yet there was the ticking sound. I heard it. From 3 states away. The hook is one of the hardest calls to make, and one of the easiest to rip. Sending Correia out was just a little bit more inevitable than his reunion with math.
  9. LaBombo
    Nooooo, don't explain it, that would ruin the... ehh, can there be fog at the duel? Please say yes.
  10. LaBombo
    What's that ticking sound? Could it be the egg timer for Faust Correia's deal with the devil?
  11. LaBombo
    I don't have any idea what this means, but like it anyway.

    When you're out of your depth, being self-confident to the point of delusion is an asset. For Gardenhire, obviously.
  13. LaBombo
    Homer.
  14. LaBombo
    Yeah, he's no Nishi on the basepaths...
  15. LaBombo
    Only saw it once, but it looked to me like he misjudged the ball and slipped while trying to recover. Whatever. I've seen enough for now.
  16. LaBombo
    I said that 10 games would be too soon to draw any conclusions about Hicks. I was wrong.
  17. LaBombo
    Embarrassing.
  18. LaBombo
    Probably right. The rotation has taken the lion's share of the off-season criticism, but the bullpen is... a mixed bag. At any rate, I'll bet that Robey takes the demotion to be more about performance than may be to the Twins. Hope it turns out well for all parties involved, and that it wasn't a coin flip that Schwarzy won over tRob because he's another swing starter in the pen.
  19. LaBombo
    That's what I was getting at. Yes, relievers have low job security to begin with, especially ones without great stuff. It may be that the Twins just don't like what they're seeing in his mechanics, but usually they let Andy work on that for a bit before throwing in the towel. I'm fine with the move, but you have to think it may have quite a bit to do with that 'historic' long ball. If so, it's got a bit of 'good call, bad reason' to it.
  20. LaBombo
    Good guess; seems just a little soon for Swarzy but it's not like they're bristling with good options. My comment was just in reference to the quick hook off the 25 man for Tyler. Hope he can figure some things out in AAA, but at this point it's beginning to look like any positive contribution from him in 2013 or even beyond would be a bonus.
  21. LaBombo
    That was quick.
  22. LaBombo
    Guys like Oliva stand to gain ground with the gradual shift away from counting stat career totals as the primary yardstick.
  23. LaBombo
    Well, at least it wasn't a called third again...

    Walk me through that list of twins hitters in the past 20 years who had a good season after coming straight up from AA...
