  1. I'd like to see Pryor become what he was once promised to be. I'd like to see the Twins get competitive after Andrew Miller... By competitive... I mean overpay. I'd also like to see the Twins go after Hochevar.
  2. I hope he's frustrated... I also hope that saying "only Hughes is a lock"... I hope it isn't an example of that frustration. It sounds like the kind of thing you say when you are frustrated but it ends up not being the case when reality shines it light in a much calmer tomorrow. I hope he truly means it and I hope we truly have a flat out competition for rotation spots in 2014. The Pitching has to improve or the arrival of Buxton and Sano will be marginalized.
  3. Young players or young lawyers or young zookeepers simply have not built up enough cred to show up casually to work. Young employees often don't understand how they are judged by others over stuff like this. On the other side of it... Experienced bosses have seen this type of thing many times before and typically don't throw the baby out with the bathwater. Hicks screwed up today... Tomorrow is a new one. Fingers crossed that Hicks slows down his rookie-esque actions... On and Off the field.
  4. While I agree that playing time for Pinto will only help his development. I also believe... His playing time during September 2014... Isn't going to revive or kill him. I think Pinto is potentially an offensive talent. I'm with the (what seems to be) majority. I await his full time deployment and it's hard to wait for it. However... this month isn't going to kill him. Gardy is pretty consistent... He's gonna put his best lineup on the field in any game that has implications and it seems obvious that he thinks Suzuki is part of the best lineup and based on what Suzuki has done in 2014. I'm not going to argue that. Last year... With Joe out... Pinto was our best option and he got 76 at bats. This year... (With due respect to those Who want to look at Suzuki from the past) Suzuki did a hell of a nice job for us. Anyway... September won't revive or kill him. There is other stuff I might lay at Gardy's doorstep. This ain't one of them.
  5. Oh yeah... Kryptonite... I keep forgetting about that stuff.
  6. As hard as he hits the ball... How was It possible Vargas was not a top 20 prospect in all of baseball.
  7. REALLLY!!! Music tastes are to each his own And to be honest Dalmations are cool but 101 of them would be horrible. But Mad Magazine!!! How dare he!!!
  8. Where's Bark? We need an Andy Magic photoshopping.
  9. I've never been on the dump Andy bandwagon for a couple reasons: A. I've never seen him work with pitchers... I have no idea if he's good or not? B. We honestly haven't had many if any superstar pitchers for him to work with. C. I heard a rumors that he likes Puppies and he's never criticized me once. At least that I'm aware of. However... Liriano and Worley turned around pretty good. It's clouding my limited knowledge to the dark side.
  10. Hughes.off the top of my head. Deduno was decent for a year and nowhere else. Pavano would be another But honestly... The Twins havent had anyone toss under 3.00 since maybe Santana.
  11. I gotta admit... Worley pitching well in Pittsburgh does bug me.
  12. Regardless of that K... I sure hope Pinto fixes his D concerns because I really think he's gonna be a plus plus hitter.
  13. Bridgewater in at QB... Pinto is playing Left Gaurd.
  14. Thanks for the birthday wishes... Looks like I missed a Brian Dozier dinger... Must be a good day for folks named Brian. Does anyone know if Brian Harper had a good day today? Watch North Dakota beat Stony Brook in Football tonight so I missed the game thread. It's September 21st now. Life is back to normal.
  15. Cue Chief Umm I gotta be quicker
  16. Yep... He's fun... But he ain't got it all down yet.
  17. OK... Now I gotta get up... Just to Check if you are looking in my window.
  18. I wore my Jammie's all day... I'm gonna wear a polo to bed.
  19. Time for match game!!! If you add Giambi and Atchison together. You get (blank).
  20. My Bad.. It was Sconnie
  21. That list is lengthy.... My wife keeps it taped to the fridge... Last year we had to get a much much bigger fridge. LOL... BTW... You quoted Glunn and typed RB.
  22. Typical Woman... Always blaming me... Leaving me wondering what I did exactly.
  23. Ok... That post may be the new #1 of the night.
