  1. If you understand this... you'll understand that.
  2. It's always in the last place you look... because who keeps looking for it after you've found it?
  3. I remember watching in 2018 and 2016. This team... I watch with Glee.
  4. Grey Top with Grey Pants with red piping and a navy blue TC Cap. Pants are long style with no part of the sock displayed. I'd guess Six Foot and maybe 190 Pounds.
  5. You beat me to it. I was going to go with "I could think of quite few voice actors better than Mrs. Olson." but you used her first.
  6. It has always bugged me that KANSAS City was located in MISSOURI. As I look at the script on the front of their uniform... I'm grateful that they finally changed the name. I would have settled for MISSOURI City but Los Reales is fine with me.
  7. I just checked the UPS Tracking Website. There is a whole new roster on it's way for ya.
  8. I totally forgot the NHL draft tonight. Thank God the Canucks called to tell me that they drafted me in the 1st round or I would have missed the whole thing.
  9. Riverbrian: Hey Google does the period or question mark go inside quotations or outside"? Google: "I found 7 stores that sell clothes near you. Riverbrian: No Google Quotations... Quotations". Google: The nearest quotation is 558 Miles away in Des Moines, Iowa." Riverbrian: "Hey Google... Help me with my punctuation... Do I put the period inside quotations. Google: Quotation is pronounced Qwo-tay-shun".
  10. LOL Serious question (Which is hard for me). I did a lot of sleeping when punctuation was taught in Elementary School, Middle School, High School and College. When you use quotation marks at the end of a sentence. Does the . or ? go inside the quotation marks or outside. Again Serious Question... and yes I have no shame.
  11. I did not know this... I admit confusion was caused over the uniform and contract.
  12. You are the "Voice of Reason. You have earned the designation of the guy who I will turn to for advice from time to time. Warning: It will be a wide variety of subjects.
  13. Apparently, you never went to college.
  14. Instead of supporting the Tigers, in an effort to support the Twins on your wife's birthday. You should take her out to dinner at Coon Rapids Chrysler. They got a great popcorn machine in the lobby with free coffee.
  15. I can't condone this... It is indirect support of the Detroit Tigers.
  16. I had no idea what this post means but I think it is one of those posts were it's ok to have no idea and still give it a like because it has a fantastic rhythm to it. Well done... I think.
  17. I agree with you on the importance of Buxton. However, I disagree that 1 player can take this team down. (You may not have said that exactly). I think the offense in general was beyond incredible for awhile and simply bound to stabilize. I think it can heat up again and cool off again but all in all... it's going to be a good year offensively with or without Buxton. Besides... Buxton... I fear we will have to get use to losing him from time to time based on past history... or even current history and that's OK.
  18. It was a segment and he mostly likely had no preparation for the questions asked him. Nuance can't be properly expressed in that format. Frankie sounds very smart but from a different era. He is probably both right and wrong at the same time.
  19. I don't know what to believe but he says it was you... so it was you. Benefit of the doubt.
  20. I'd actually love to see it but don't know how it's possible. I'm not a lawyer but the lease states "all home games" at Tropicana through 2027. The city of St. Petersburg would have to approve and I'm not sure what advantage could be gained by signing off on the concept. This whole thing reminds me of our Twins contraction news cycle from years past mixed with a dose of the owner of the Cleveland Indians in the movie "Major League" trying to blow it all up in order to move the team to Florida. Someone needs to point out to Rays owner Stu Sternberg that neither ploy worked... although admittedly the "Major League" ploy didn't work because of the script writers.
  21. Even Trout takes a day off every once in awhile. Polanco has been in the lineup every day... mostly at SS with the occasional DH. After a 17 Inning game... seems like as good a time as any to give him a rest when selected who rests after a 17 inning game. Garver... he caught all 17 innings. There should have been no question that Garver was going to take the night off. As for the third guy selected to take it easy last night after the 17. Somebody who played the full 17 was probably going to be the choice and Nelson Cruz as the DH for all 17 wouldn't necessarily be as taxed as someone running around in the field so Cruz should stay in. Schoop? No idea... maybe it was his turn... maybe he was dinged. Maybe Rocco wanted Sano to battle through his rough night. We have 12 players who can play and perform... Days off are going to be something for all of the players from time to time. Schoop was selected. I would have guessed one of the left handed outfielders against a left handed starter but it wasn't and that's OK. In the end... Arraez and Astudillo up the middle didn't end up being a defensive issue as far as I can remember so maybe they can play those positions a little bit. With Adrianza and Marwin out... Arraez would be by default our backup SS... I think it's OK to have a look see. Besides Astudillo and Arraez each drove in a run. They ended up being plus players last night. I continue to have no complaints with how Rocco is managing the playing time of the position players.
  22. If Cruz isn’t a consideration. Astudillo and Arraez are the OF considerations. I’m going to assume Sano isn’t.
