You should incorporate more things like "groovy" and "far out" into your postings.

That's Fine... I'm more concerned with Morneau having as many homers as Escobar.

I told someone that it was originally written "Revved up like a Deuce". He looked at me and said seriously. "that makes no sense". Apparently "Wrapped up like a Douche" does tho.

Game Thread: Twins @ Tigers, 5/26 - 12:08pm
Riverbrian replied to Brock Beauchamp's topic in Archived Game Threads
I agree on the too many pitches... But it wasn't Worley like as stated earlier... he gave the Team a chance to win and if a pitcher does that I think it qualifies as pitching well. He wasnt pitching the 7th... his pitch count was into the 110's... He was a Willingham catch away from departing 2-1. We have all heard the phrase "looks like a line drive in the paper"... This was the opposite in my mind. But... Pelfrey wasn't even the story in my mind. The Offense was the story. Throwing the game on Pelfrey makes no sense in consideration of how... Dead... The offense is. 27 innings and we scored in two of those innings. And Willingham is a story. Players who don't effort to make catches lead to big innings all the time. That one was worth 4 runs and I have no problem... no problem attaching those 4 runs to Willingham directly... That's my own personal WAR. That's how mine works. In that Twins Clubhouse... There better not be anybody pointing fingers at Pelfrey. There better be a big freaking mirror that they all can get in front of. -
What could have been from the 2012 draft
Riverbrian replied to Shane Wahl's topic in Minnesota Twins Talk
In the name of fun... From all accounts Buxton has been fantastic thus far and a great selection. Last year I was hoping for a College Pitcher with the first pick... Only because I was scared to death of the pitching depth at the time. I figured a College Pitcher would arrive and provide something we needed bad quicker... I hadn't seen any of them so I wasn't praying for Gausman over Zimmer or vice versa but I really did want a college arm. Reading Boxscores this year from Cedar Rapids has put my mind at ease. Buxton looks like an amazing pick so far. I really can't argue with it all. Besides Gausman... The only player that I have seen play with my eyes to this point is Wacha and he blew me away... That guy has stuff on top of stuff. If anybody gets a chance to watch him. Do it... This kid is for real. In hindsight... I really wish there was way that we could have drafted Wacha. Our slots and his draft position didn't really match though. -

All respect taken... The 6th Inning does count but we would all feel differently if Willingham makes that catch. It wasn't a question of Willingham being slow. He could have reached that ball. He was trotting in after it... I can only assume that he didn't want to collide with and take out Florimon who was busting out full speed but that was Willingham's ball all the way and he could have reached it fairly easy. If Willingham makes that catch (and he should have) Pelfrey pitches 6 innings and allows only 2 runs. Sometimes pitchers get a bad dose of luck and Willingham not making that catch cost us 4 runs. I'm still waiting for Gibson to replace Pelfrey but I tip my cap to him... He was let down by a teammate. Yes it wasn't a shut the door perfect performance because he threw way too many pitches but I appreaciated the effort because he was clearly trying not to leave anything over the middle and he has been leaving it over the middle all year. His caution led to the pitch count in my opinion and he gave us a chance to win. I'd take that performance every time and be really happy. Anyway... I was wrong... I should have kept myself in check. His comment toward me was benign enough. I've reflected and I was more upset with something else from last night that didn't involve me in the first place.
