    Alright Doumit the law of averages are with you. Your turn
  2. Riverbrian
    Delmon wouldn't have tried. lol
  3. Riverbrian
    Looks like he just hasn't really grooved anything... He's mixing things up. Looks like a pro.
  4. Riverbrian
    Hughes yeah. You gotta hit a bunch to overcome that type of defense and luck. Hopefully we will.
  5. Riverbrian
    He'd should have a zero on the board
  6. Riverbrian
    lol... Good practice for playing from... I won't say it... I'd like to see a little practice playing with the lead.
  7. Riverbrian
    Swarzak didn't deserve that... You know I didn't deserve that inning
  8. Riverbrian
    Yeah you can't have that with a team like the Rangers.
  9. Riverbrian
    I applaud the effort... That was never a sure thing with the Twins. One thing still for sure... fundamentals is not his middle name.
  10. Riverbrian
    Let's bring this runner home.
  11. Riverbrian
    Crickets tonight. Hello(echo echo echo). Hello(echo echo echo).

    Same boat as Seth. I have no idea who has talent and who doesn't. In Baseball drafts it typically takes awhile for the draftee to reach the majors if they do at all so I believe drafting for need is nearly impossible since needs are likely to change before they are ripe. So BPA makes sense to me. With that said. This year there is a need and a large one. MLB ready prospects... Especially on the mound. So I am hoping for a college pitcher. Who that is I'll take any opinions and go with it.
  13. Riverbrian
    Nothing hurt... Now span can get us started
  14. Riverbrian
    Bad angle on that ball by Plouffe. Should Be out #2
  15. Riverbrian
    lol... Once again everything you say is pointless to argue with because it makes perfect sense. Stats - Yes Character - Yes Community Involvement - Yes Marketability - Yes I just don't believe that Minnesotans as a whole would care enough about race in this context enough to move the needle in the wrong direction and the thought of that... gives me the chills. Now if the discussion is... If Minnesotans as a whole would personally hire minorities... rent to... walk dark streets at night with or trust their unattended running car in the vicinity of as a whole. Well, Minnesotans can be as clueless as every other state in that department. That's the stuff that needs the light shined upon it because Norwegian descendants could steal your car as well. In Sports... The state would flood with Ichiro Jerseys... Jose Reyes Jerseys... Matt Kemp Jerseys... Just like the do with Adrian Peterson Jerseys. Now Delmon Young wasn't going to be given a deal because he was Delmon Young. Tom Herr wasn't going to get a deal either because he was Tom Herr. So again if True... The Front Office decision makers are idiots if they sub-consciously make decisions in this sense. I'm not arguing with you... because I think you think the same. At least I think you think that I think what you think.

    I can't argue with anything you posted here. I'd be willing to bet that there are Twins employees with unenlighted tendencies. Percentages suggest it's likely possible... However, I still don't buy that Terry Ryan and final decisions would be based upon what Minnesotans prefer. The Whole thought of that is idiocy. The baseball fan determing the fate of the franchise directly. Why scout at all in that case. Just go to the fans for a popularity poll. Staff the team by the winners of the poll and watch the team lose and the fans quit attending. It's no way to run a franchise. The baseball fan doesn't know anything about the players involved and Kirby Puckett increased attendence(I assumed) so I don't believe the fans think that way as a majority anyway. Could a one scout or two or three assume a kid is trouble and therefore down play his advocacy of that prospect because of race or upbringing. Yes. Taking the opposite approach... Could a Scout assume that a kid doesn't jump high enough because he's from Minnesota... Yes There are old time scouts who probably still talk about prospects having the good face. Can I have my gavel back? I think you just hid it on me.

    Bingo... I have two sons 18 and 14 years old. I want to believe with all my heart that this crap is going the way of the Dinosaur and that is the world they will live in and it will be even better for my Grand kids. Yes it's still out there and less and less of it everyday. That's what we do as a society... We advance!!! We get better!!! Writing this article gives the wrong impression of Minnesotans indirectly and it assumes that our front office staff are idiots because Minnesotans are. It puts the attention on false racist situations and therefore clouds the honest to god real ones that still need to be stamped out.

    I was already suspicious of Doumit for other reasons. Yeah, now I'm really concerned. Red Solo Cup... I wish I knew how to spell that sound you make with your lips because I would put it right here. What's it called blowing a raspberry? the Bronx cheer?
  19. Riverbrian
    The Farm system light. We need more advanced draftees. I don't know the players... I just think that you have to go college because they will be more advanced.
  20. Riverbrian
    BINGo with a capital BING.
  21. Riverbrian
    If True... Someone in Twins Management is making that decision based upon what he thinks the typical Twins Fan thinks and that person is an idiot. If True... You would have to assume that a poll or research project was done to gauge the typical Twins fan commitment to the Twins based on this tricky subject, so they could tailor their roster based actual information. If True... A poll of this sort in the field would be a political nightmare. Therefore if True... Someone is making these decisions based on no basis what so ever and is an idiot. If True... any roster or contract decision based upon the un-informed... un-scouted opinion of fans who are not even intelligent enough to be enlightened. Would be the workings of an idiot. If true... The only way this happens is under the radar and made by the decision maker himself and he is too busy drafting Aaron Hicks and signing Sano. The only conclusion is not true... (Bang the gavel down)
  22. Riverbrian
    Love the lineup... Go get em...
  23. Riverbrian
    KIRBY PUCKETT!!! There I can put this nightmare thread behind me.
  24. Riverbrian
    That's Plouffe's walk up music? "When the Levee Breaks by the Mighty Ones... Led Zeppelin (1971) If that's the case... Start him... He's my new favorite player. Walking up to the plate with that John Bonham drumbeat would have to inspire him to greatness. They should let the music play through while he bats. It would raise his average 80 points.
  25. Riverbrian
    I hope Swarzak is lights out and I hope Hendricks is lights out on Sunday. I hope that the decision is so tough that Liriano tries to learn a new pitch.
