9th inning... We need two runs and very little chance of Suzuki coming to the plate. Woe Dispair and Agony on me.

Appendix Author LaBombo references the emergency surgery performed on Pedro Floriomon after he experienced stomach pains February 17th.

Obviously... If you live in the same place... You must be. Auntie ChiTown

Looks like Spidermans playground

I heard that Montenegro is a lot like Warroad.

This Photo out my back window

I can relate... I think visibility right now is 17 inches. I paid money for this window and right now... I'm getting very little value.

Everyone post a photo from your window!!! Let's see what it looks like for everyone.

Send it all to Chief. He don't have none.

Was that a Dive? I was expecting to Mauer to look at the camera and say "Live From New York... it's Saturday Night"!!!

Current Photo from my window. The Snow was almost gone just 6 hours ago.

Appendix Author Ashburyjohn references Pedro Florimon's surgery to remove an inflamed Appendix after experience stomach pains on February 17th. This Appendix is healthy!!!

On the Florimon catch and Sox tag: Make the catch... Get the out. Let's say it was a long fly ball foul... Near the fence. Do you let that drop? No... You catch it and get the out. If Florimon let's that drop because of a potential tag. I'd sit him on the bench and tell him that he has baseball class at 6am tomorrow morning.

What if he did and... Jeez... there are a bunch of different scenerios to cover. I've decided not to try.

If I had to choose between... Anteater or Armadillo. I'm going with the Anteater.

I was... But only because I had extra vowels to use up.

I like that Colabello guy... Pulling a ball to left.... Standing in the same zip code as the plate. Ok... I'm in for a Colabello breakout 2014!!!

I get hit with those things all the time.

Bonofacio batting leadoff and playing CF for the Cubs... 3-4 with a stolen base. I'm just sayin... For no particular reason.

With the blizzard... No School in Grand Forks... My son has me covered!

Photo taken after St. Paul was informed that Target Field would be built in Minneapolis. You also can't see a River of Pee in between them.

How else do you make the baseball dive and dart in different directions.

I lick a baseball... I'm licking one right now.

When I look at the lineup. 1. After Joe Mauer... I don't see any player who can or are expected to or have at one time hit around .300 or produced a high OPS. My conclusion... Stringing a few together is more difficult and less likely to happen. 2. Hicks, Dozier and Florimon have some speed but that's it. But... Those three speedsters are not elite speedsters. The other 6 players in the lineup can be classified as below below average. Mauer can turn it on a little maybe but speed isn't on his resume. My conclusion... The creation of runs on the base paths... Extra bases, hit and runs, the occasional theft has becomes nearly impossible. Especially when 6 of your starters are station to station types. 3. Willingham and Kubel have hit 30 homers. Plouffe almost did it and might have if it wasn't for injury. Arcia has the potential to be a 30 homer guy. Colabello... Maybe with playing time. Pinto can hit a few out with playing time. Dozier showed decent power for a 2B. Hicks has some pop... Even Florimon and Escobar can reach the seats. My conclusion... This is it... Nearly all offensive eggs are in this basket. This is how the roster was constructed. Its one dimensional and it was the same in 2013. 2013 didn't work... It wasn't even close to working. For 2014... They didn't add any new dimensions... They didn't attempt to balance... To create new dimensions or different ways to score... They added more Power!!! They replaced Doumit for Pinto... They replaced Morneau with Suzuki... They replaced Presley/Mastroianni/Parmelee with Kubel. The entire dice roll is on Hammer and Kubel rebounding and Plouffe and Arcia realizing potential. The entire dice roll is power in Target Field. I'm concerned but the Big Mo can change everything.
