It's been awhile since I took Algebra but I think you have to establish a value for prospects and for playing time. I'm gonna have to defer to Ash on this one.

I'm just going to point out that JB left during the rain delay. I like JB a lot but... Is there any doubt anymore... She is obviously a Jinx.

I'm not sure but I handled the situation like an adult. I spent the rest of the flight playing peek-a-boo with him.

True Story: I was flying back from Baltimore... I had a Window seat and I was looking down at what I figured was West Virginia. I hadn't said a word to the stranger next to me but for some reason I felt like sharing and I said to him... "You know... It sure doesn't look like much is happening in West Virginia from this height. And he replied... "I like West Virginia... People from there... Keep to themselves". It made the rest of the trip... Kinda uncomfortable.

Engineers are now installing parabolic microphones for the sole purpose of picking up the sound of rain. By 2015... They will install a parabolic outside the rest room in the broadcast booth.

He called a pitch that Viciedo put into the upper deck.

Ash??? Don't tell me you missed the two out of three meat loafs ain't bad bit.

I went there but with a different approach and got better answers then what I was fishing for.

Since Birth I assume?

I never thought of it that way.

Yep... You're the Jinx

Not me... TC Bear is all that scares me. I often think he's just acting friendly but eventually his natural instincts will take over and someone is going to get mauled.

How long have you been following the Twins?

I'm just checking... TwinsDaily on average still doesn't like Schafer?

LOL That made me laugh out loud and I couldn't tell my wife why I was laughing.

You know... I'm not sure... When they are leftover... I'm never quite sure if it's meatloaf or Banana Bread.

When my wife says she is making meat loaf... I always ask for three and she makes two... To which... I reply?

It's good to see that Pinto can still hit the ball. Let's put that "handling a pitching staff" school into overdrive.

Are the 401 women part of the support structure?

My caller ID says the Democratic Party is calling. I'm not going to answer.... And if the Republicans call... I'll pass on that as well.

Just starting watching... Based on the score.... I assume May has been decent and based on the hole at 2B on my fantasy team... Brian Dozier hasn't helped May one bit.

Game-time forecast: Partly cloudy. Winds blowing in from right field at 10-20 m.p.h. Temperature around 80. ChiTown will be along with the starting lineups. She's got a leash and the lineups go along with her on walks. Of course most city laws state that she has to clean up after them. Okay, hmm .... PALE HOSE: SP, Danks Eaton CF Ramirez SS Abreu DH Garcia RF Gillaspie 3B Viciedo LF Wilkins 1B Phegley C Semien 2B TWINS: SP, May Santana SS Nunez 3B Mauer 1B Vargas DH Pinto C Arcia RF Hicks CF Escobar 2B Schafer LF ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Things to Think About: 1. Trevor May -- There is no question that Trevor May is thought #1 today. We all wished so hard that he would be called up and start working his magic for the big club. The Twins need young pitchers to arrive and perform and I'm sure that was part of all the wishing. However... It just doesn't always work out perfectly and that lack of perfection is a pretty large bump in the road for young Trevor May. He has made 4 starts and one other appearance with the Twins. His ERA currently sits at 10.42 and that's about the exact opposite of what Trevor May and all of Twins Territory wanted to see. He has lowered his walk total and that is wonderful and this has produced more zero's in some innings. However... He has still been knocked out by the occasional horrific innings where his control and simple mechanics leave him and he can't seem to get them back. 2. Eventual Improvement -- Some Major League pitchers do not get the chance to improve. They get their shot and once that shot is done... They don't get another one. Some Major League pitchers keep getting a chance to correct themselves and eventually they do... The light bulb goes on and they become helpful major league pitchers. And... Some pitchers keep getting chance after chance and never figure it out. Which of these 3 scenarios will be the Trevor May story? You are going to have to tune in for awhile and find out. Until that time... patience and a large dose of it may be necessary. 3. Young Pitchers that get it done right out of the gate -- Not every story is like Trevor May... There are some great stories of pitchers that come up from the minors and become immediate forces. Just this year alone... You can point to DeGrom with the Mets... Shoemaker with the Angels... McHugh with the Astro's... Stroman with the Jays... Anderson with the D-Backs... Paxton with the Mariners... Despaigne with the Padres. There seems to be a rash of these types entering MLB Baseball this year. There are a few... unfortunately... nobody wearing a Twins uniform. 4. The White Sox -- Don't lose to the White Sox Tonight... I mean it... I'm not kidding. Don't lose to the White Sox tonight. 5. Careers -- I was talking with my younger son and I asked him if he had any ideas on what career path would interest him in the future. He's 16 and he really couldn't think of anything and I suppose he has plenty of time to head a certain direction but he asked me for some advice and I told him... Try to avoid any career where people depend on you for anything... anything at all.

Good Night... My pillow just shouted at me.

Must have had Thai food... Couldn't make it to the outhouse.

Nope Bark... Won't do it. We are instead going to make you official TD Head Cheerleader. We reward effort on this site and you gotta a good soul and the effort was honest. Now go find a cute dress for your avatar and keep keeping on.
