  1. I've heard the term "hoosegow" before and I knew it meant Jail. However, I did not know how to spell it. For that... I thank you. Unless you spelled it wrong.
  2. Given the home values around the area. They will just assume you are pulling the weeds for them. Might get a $20 Tip.
  3. No need to apologize but try not to type Woohoo! after a Cruz home run while Sano is striking out.
  4. You are a dirty guy. You must take care of that issue.
  5. Triple Play and we can still have a better inning then that. I want a quadruple play in the 2nd.
  6. He’s got the stuff. Just needs stabilization. I may not totally trust him high leverage now but I still think he could be. Need to add arms for today so you can afford to see what May is tomorrow. Showing Emotion on the Mound? Baseball needs more emotion. Don’t care if he runs up to the batter and tweaks his nose while saying boop after a K.
  7. Yet Lose one and the scenario will change on a dime.
  8. Interesting with Stashek. My guess was they would be reluctant to promote to the 40 man to keep room for trade additions. But the need is critical now. As for the market prices... no idea just guesses on my behalf but I always assume there is a reason it gets busy on the final couple of days. I always imagine that this is the time the Twins call the Jays about Stroman. The Jays say Royce Lewis. So the Twins call the Tigers about Boyd and the Tigers say Royce Lewis while the Jays field a call from the Astros and they say Tucker and then the Astro’s call the Tigers and they say Tucker. Neither team wants to pay that price so they all take phone calls make phone calls and wait for the prices to get reasonable and that probably happens once the clock gets close to killing the game. So I think we will have to wait unless we are willing to meet an exorbitant ask. But... I have no idea... I’ve never been in the room.
  9. I think it’s more of a “C’mon May we need you” message to May. The message that he sends to the front office is “I don’t want to use Stewart” and he was all I had left. The dangerous part of this... who do they send down for another arm and will that arm be trusted and who would that be? If Arraez gets sent down because he is the guy with options to provide an emergency arm that Baldelli also don’t trust. You’ve weakened the offense and gained very little. A trade for pitching couldn’t happen soon enough but if you pull the trigger now. There will probably be an overpay involved because everyone is working every room at the moment waiting for a team to get desperate. We are going to have to ride it out.
  10. This is what I've been talking about for quite some time. A manager needs trust in his entire bullpen. Lack of trust for Stewart probably forced him to ride May for 49 pitches. When a manager starts doing that... you got a problem.
  11. Whenever I find myself wanting to be mad at Trevor May or any player for that matter. I first consider what I'd think if I was a fan of the opposite team at that moment. I imagine I wouldn't be thinking "HA HA May... what a whatever". When Arraez and Adrianza and Kepler came through in the 9th... I'm thinking way to go, coming through in clutch, like that. If I was an A's Fan... Hendriks you *#&)@. Both teams are competing... it produces a roller coaster when it's done right and that's why I love baseball.
  12. Has the anger in here subsided yet?
  13. Yeah but clearing the 25 man roster spot helps us and that has already happened. So your choice is now: A. Clearing a roster spot and getting nothing for it or B. Clearing the roster spot and getting a little cash in hand. The Twins have decided at the very least... they have someone better on the 40 man roster for each of these 3 guys on the 25 man roster. Removing these 3 from the roster already signifies improvement through the pure act of letting them go. As a result, we now have 4 40 man spots open for additions to the club via trade or farm system. They most likely won't add from the farm system until after the trade deadline. So, I'm encouraged that possibly up to 4 players are on their way to help. And they got some cash to boot.
  14. Ladies and Gentlemen The very definition of a backfoot slider.
  15. In the world of logistics... one thing wrong can stop 5 things right.
  16. See what I mean Another misunderstanding.
  17. tvagle is a good guy but there are times when he is misunderstood.
  18. Jeez (Right Hand Raised) My joke was intended to invoke thought of simply changing seats inside the venue for each of the 32 movements. I am clearly classier than most.
  19. I was going to go to that but... I heard that there were 32 movements and I like sitting in the same seat.
  20. We need Cyber-Bullying Legislation right away.
  21. He Made it to 70 With his lifestyle... That in itself required sorcery of some kind.
