  1. Best wishes for a speedy recovery, and more importantly the fullest possible restoration of his shoulder to good overall, non-baseball health. Hope he gets the chance to pitch effectively again and leave the game on his own terms. If not, he seems like the sort of guy who'll be able to handle the transition. If he's interested in coaching down the road, he's in the right organization to get a shot at it. As for what it means to the Twins, it's a lost season anyway, and counting on a 34 year old reliever already in decline to close next season seems like exactly the sort of bad decision the Twins would make but no longer can. Maybe Perk's injury will force them to make a smart decision for a change.
  2. Or maybe a Pitt cameo appearance to perform his "Is losing fun?" monologue? http://namtab.com/writing/MMmoneyball07.gif
  3. Remember how lost he looked before people started saying he was coming around? There you go. In fairness, CC has pitched well, but I've seen better swings at a pinata than the ones Buxton took.
  4. Who's TiVo? Another waiver wire outfielder? And did he bunt on a sign or on his own?
  5. That was Abad pitch. Pretty hard to get it closer to the center of the strike zone without a tape measure and a laser level.
  6. Wow, not just a win but a blowout! And in the books before midnight! A Buxton home run! And Nolasco was the starter! Plus no casualties from malfunctioning Westworld robots! http://www.mtv.com/shared/media/news/images/b/Brynner_Yul/sq-yul-westworld-mgm.jpg w-0-0-0-0-T!
  7. Give him a few games to watch and learn The Twins Way for relief pitchers. He'll have 'em spinning round the bases in no time...
  8. Man, that Giovaniribisi kid is almost Grossmanesque... http://booksavingprivateryan.weebly.com/uploads/1/6/7/2/16721362/1358713617.jpg
  9. Twins will move out of the top three draft spots with some September wins fueled by roster expansion guys we never see again. Then all of us Dark Side critics of Terry Ryan can say of his 2016...

  11. I don't even know who's projected to go first next year, and yet I'm so inspired by your idea that I'm working on some ideas for a Robbie Grossman bobblevoodoo doll... Edit: Oh, Sweet Jesus Alou. I googled 'Robbie Grossman bobblehead' and the top hit was "Twins hastily schedule Robbie Grossman Bobblehead Night'. The kid is fun to watch, but holy cra@p, hang on to a shred of dignity!

  13. Heh. Good call. Bert's pronunciations do have a way of taking wrong turns... http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/rsz_bugs_2_4558.jpg
  14. http://media2.s-nbcnews.com/j/streams/2013/september/130913/8c8970425-130913-superstitioniphoto-hmed-0935a-files.nbcnews-fp-360-360.jpg
  15. Parents as drunk choosing a name as they were at conception? Now I feel bad. His parents are probably nice people. And their son seems like a nice lad. He signed with Anaheim so he could be closer to his girlfriend Carmen just down the road. http://static.tumblr.com/c3d993e6537535d5a927957cb677bd00/mu3vzqz/d2Nmigdyy/tumblr_static_carmen.jpg
  16. I cannot lie... Twins' bottom is pretty bottomy too. http://d267w4oc0y54w5.cloudfront.net/images/1907/baby%20got%20back.jpg?1302104199
  17. But his invention has done so many good things that more than make up for sending Dan Gladden's baseball observations hundreds of miles through the air... http://cache3.asset-cache.net/gc/164080946-guglielmo-giovanni-maria-marconi-italian-gettyimages.jpg?v=1&c=IWSAsset&k=2&d=GkZZ8bf5zL1ZiijUmxa7QaDAUnQpJ4K%2BQlZfdYqWKKGdlwzcNkWMKa5askTXNoM4oBkHt%2FJ5b%2FZOaRe4k1fqVw%3D%3D
  18. Universal Studio tour monorail runs through there, then on to WestWorld. http://static1.purestars.de/articles/8/37/28/@/1383926-im-film-westworld-von-1973-gerat-ein-950x0-1.jpg
  19. We had Dixie Riddle Cups. The box was thoughtfully labeled 'For Children' to spare socially maladroit adults from finding out the hard way that there is a certain age after which there is very limited punchline payoff to 'what kind of train carries gum?' Or maybe it was to pave the way for a separate line of Dixie Riddle Cups For Adults which thankfully never materialized...
  20. Provus shared with us that Nolasco's runners in scoring position batting average against of .381 is "worrisome". Yes, in much the same way that the Titanic was done in by "basement moisture issues"
  21. Don't forget the grapes... http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_D0mAvl3tsdM/TTpfRLWY8zI/AAAAAAAAAh4/PcZdXlALWQ8/s400/grapes4.jpg
  22. Trout is a great Buxton comparable http://joehumphrey.com/wp/wp-content/uploads/icons/formetopoopon.jpg
  23. Your body language gave it away. http://media.nola.com/crime_impact/photo/amish-sam-mullet-srjpg-899de0384c606f11.jpg
