  1. I'll round that up... Ok... I'm thinking of 39 numbers between 1-100. Take a guess and see if you nail one.
  2. God No... What game are you watching? I saw the Gun register 89 a couple of times
  3. Is it just me... or does Nolasco appear to be a little more off-speed this year? Ok.. Game... Year is a little lofty on April 8th
  4. I used to like... (Still kinda do)... placing my hand out the car window and pushing my hand forward into the wind and then letting my hand blow back and then doing it again. I remember my Mom getting concerned about it and saying that It wasn't safe because I could get my hand knocked off by a passing car or caught in the tire. I told her... There are risks an Orangutan must endure for the simple pleasures in life.
  5. Proof... That Whoever says game threads are not informative... is wrong!!!
  6. With a reduced window... I gotta escalate the number of off topic seeds planted into the game thread as possible.
  7. Nice job... You forced Vargas into a K
  8. Nolasco is going to pitch great today... Rest assured Twins Fans... How do I know? My fantasy Baseball opponent has him.
  9. Ok... I'm giving Torii a plus one on that in my own personal Defensive Metric rating system.
  10. Anyone else having left over ham sandwiches for lunch? Anyone else been having them every day since Easter? Anyone else (because of the amount of leftovers) going to be having them until Memorial Day?
  11. Because I have a job... I hate day games. I'll be happy when the night schedule kicks in. I'm planning a two hour lunch. OK... 1 hour and 58 minutes... I suppose I gotta plan 2 minutes for Grand Forks traffic.
  12. I've always been a big Ben Revere Fan and I still am. I would take him back immediately. If Ben decided to (or the coaches let him) play like Billy Hamilton... He could do that.
  13. Applause to Sample Size!!! It is harder than it looks but the 2nd one will be easier and the third one will be easier yet. Unfortunately... the 47th one will go back to being hard again. Other things that are harder than they look. 1. Pumpkin Carving 2. Polka Dancing 3. Canoe-ing 4. Explaining why you did something wrong to your wife 5. Grandma's -- Oh Sure they look all soft and Grandma like until you accidentally run into one at full speed.
  14. The Call Right or Wrong doesn't matter to me. Umps making occasional mistakes is baked into the process. It happens. I also don't care if Hunter gets fined or not. He's making pretty good coin... He will still be able to feed his family. In my opinion... I like the attitude that Hunter displayed. I know some disagree with me on this... Professionalism and all that... But I like the attitude and the Twins haven't displayed this type of attitude since... Well... Since Torii Hunter many years ago. Play the game hard and playing the game hard sometimes means that you play it hard with the Umps at times. Joe West is a pro... He'll get over it.
  15. I'm ok with the position players providing Plouffe improves on his 2014 improvement and Hunter is not the defensive liability those debated D stats say he is. And Arcia strikes out less Umm And Mauer returns to a plus .300 hitter with increased extra base out-put With that... I'm Ok with the position players!!! Providing... Santana continues to play like he played last year at SS... And Escobor finds regular at bats as a utility type and carries on doing what he did last year.... And... Umm... Suzuki keeps delivering key hits to extend some innings. Oh Yeah and Vargas... We need him to lead the team in Dingers if he can do that... I'm Ok with the position players. That's about it... Unless you consider the need for Schafer to finally play like the highly ranked prospect he once was. Ummm... And Dozier... We need him to continue to hit Homers to make up for homers that Joe doesn't hit. As you can see... I clearly believe the Twins will go as far as the Pitching takes them.
  16. I believe in the light switch. I think there times when a player finds it. I also don't believe it's a slam dunk that Hicks or Rosario perform well enough to scream bring me up now in 2015. So... I would not be shocked if Schafer remains the starting CF the entire year... I also would not be shocked if Schafer hits .280 with 6 dingers and 50 SB's with everyday playing time. I certainly feel better about Schafer starting in CF opening day than I do about Hicks before Hicks finds his AAA light switch. It's real simple... Schafer has been given a chance to extend his professional career. If he fails... I'm not sure another chance will be forthcoming. That may help him find that light switch. I'm saying .280 6 Dingers and 50 swipes. Go Twins!!!
  17. They are but you can't understand them so it's hard to tell.
  18. Agreed... It's a fine time for Chocolate I'm also ok with Chocolate when we win.
  19. You're right... That's why the Horse just stood there and stared at me. Me: Why the Horse Face Horse: Because I'm a horse (Uncomfortable confused silence for 4 minutes) Me: Would you like a Carrot Horse: Yes Thank You
  20. That's why I stopped using them.
  21. If I was a bartender and you walked into a bar... Yeah... I would
  22. She probably hated baking and had no musical ability... And her photos are right side up
  23. He said... No No... I was talking to my buddy over there. I told him "Hey Idiot" doesn't cull the herd enough for clarity on who you were addressing.
  24. I was walking down the street... About 10 years ago... (I drive down the street now). Anyway... I was walking down the street and this guy behind me shouts out "Hey Idiot". I turned around... Not sure why I did... I guess I figured it was quite possible I had done something to earn it. Anyway.... I turned around and the guy says "I'm sorry... Not You". I asked him if he was sure?
