    The answer to this question seems likely to decline by one at some point in the next few months.

    "Free baseball on the house! And with that, the TD patrons let out a lusty cheer, eager as they were to see another round of two titans of their sport battling it out".
  3. LaBombo
    Google 'Kenosha', it should pop right up.
  4. LaBombo
    You could always reduce the sting by dabbing a little '9.5 games out of first' on it...

    Like, for the scoreboard operator?
  6. LaBombo
    I'm not sure which part of the game (or the season) you're asking about. I can only tell that with the 2018 Twins, the answer is almost certainly 'No'.

    Hey, if there's a better way than making critical late-inning plate appearances to get your 35 year-old journeyman catcher to suddenly morph into a productive hitter who rewards his 11th MLB franchise for their patience, we'd all like to hear it, bub.

    Wuuut, Dick? Halfway point of the season already, you say? Are you sure? The pitching woes have only reached mid-May levels of desperation.
  9. LaBombo
    So many deadly bullpen weapons, so little opportunity to fire them...
  10. LaBombo
    Am definitely not watching the Twins any more if my new favorite player explodes on the field.
  11. LaBombo
    He'd be good if they teamed him with Morris or Blyleven and they just talked about pitching and old war stories, to the near exclusion of what's happening on the field.
  12. LaBombo
    Bremer just credited Grossman's big night in the cleanup spot to Molitor's audiophile ear picking up the more solid contact Robbie's bat has been making lately. And with that revelation, Dick takes the early lead in MLB broadcasting's prestigious weekly 'Aquatic Flight Over Deadly Sea Creatures' Award...
  13. LaBombo
    At least they talked him out of the goalie pads.
  14. LaBombo
    Molitor not sold on the cybermetrics of platoon splits yet, but I'm confident he'll come around in the next few seasons.
  15. LaBombo
    Maybe it wasn't just a Wrigley thing and he's permanently transformed into Ted Williams now. We'll know for sure if he downs a MiG on this road trip.
  16. LaBombo
    I'll see your 8th and raise you a 7th.
  17. LaBombo
    You with the gub'mint, mister? You best walk out the way you come in.
  18. LaBombo
    No worries, this pitching staff has at least two or three more catastrophes in it.
  19. LaBombo
    We can only hope that the Belisle update is breaking news about our bullpen's elder statesman hanging up his cleats and embarking on his new career as celebrity spokesperson for Fiber One bars.

    Good guess, but my true identity must unfortunately remain a mystery... http://www.slate.com/content/dam/slate/archive/2001/10/37000_37988_powell_hunterthompson.jpg.CROP.original-original.jpg ... owing to some misunderstandings over legal trivialities.
  21. LaBombo
    Agreed. But they're also the 6th worst team in baseball. I'm confident that there will be plenty of blame to go around before it's all over.
  22. LaBombo
    I like the thrift angle, but it looks to me as though by the time the All Star Game rolls around, there will be nobody left to care about the spelling of the names on the jerseys besides the families of the players.
  23. LaBombo
    "... Though the lead seemed dauntingly large, the doggedly determined Twins pitching staff set about the wearying task of erasing all traces of it."
  24. LaBombo
    Astudillo's a bit of a long shot at this point, but the Twins have reached a point where they have little to lose by seeing what the long shots can do. And as an aside to end the series on a high note... 30 years ago, the Twins took a look at a castaway catcher who had knocked around the minors and occasionally ridden the bench in the majors through a decade of pro ball. Also like Astudillo, he was seen as an average defender and a total anomaly at the plate, avoiding strikeouts and walks with equal disdain but showing some line drive power. And that guy took hold of the starting catcher job for the next five seasons, finishing in the top five among all MLB catchers in WAR over that span.

    Trying to make Twins fans feel bad about this particular squad losing a game is like playing handball against the drapes.
