  1. Strike One... Welcome to MLB... ground out... Calm the butterflies.
  2. Tell him the phots are not for you... It's for a bunch of friends.
  3. Twins: SP Andrew Albers 2B Dozier 3B Carroll 1B Mauer DH Morneau LF Arcia RF Colabello C Herrmann CF Thomas SS Bernier Royals: SP James Shields CF Cain 1B Hosmer DH Butler LF Gordon RF Maxwell 3B Moustakas 2B Tejada C Kottaras SS Escobar Things to think about: 1. Think about Andrew Albers... Hey... Look... Someone New to look at... He's a great story... He's paid his dues and now he gets his MLB Debut... I imagine he didn't sleep much last night... However... He is Canadian and those guys don't sleep so he's probably used to that. 2. Think about James Shields... What a pitcher to debut against... I'm sure there is a part of Albers that was wishing for a matchup against Wade Davis. 3. Think about the Streaking Hot Royals... What a team to debut against... There has to be a part of Albers that was wishing for a matchup against the Astros instead. 4. Think about Colabello... He's in RF today... Herrmann is catching... I would imagine because he has caught Albers before. That puts Mauer at 1B and Morneau at DH... So... If Colabello is going to play... It's RF. 5. Think about the Left Field Stands... Or the Right Field stands... Many people sit and watch a game from the stands. More people sitting than standing yet they are called stands.
  4. At least Dozier is entertaining.
  5. Typically... I defend... To answer your question... I do not think Gardy as gotten the best out of lineup for 2 years now. I really don't.
  6. I see differences... I don't think they are Twins.
  7. OK... That kinda makes up for the baserunning goof. However... I'd feel better if he made that catch and didnt make the baserunning mistake,
  8. Oh MY GOD!!! Doumit with an elementary base running mistake followed by a pickoff with a guy who rarely takes a base. Gardy better be having a stroke right now.
  9. We look more like the Astros today than the Astros did yesterday.
  10. I thought you lived in a liquor store.
  11. Obviously... You didn't help at all.
  12. Lots of things can happen... In the same amount of time. I grew a pimple.
  13. Correia? He's More like
  14. Posted at 7:39... 2 hours to get thru Chicago Traffic... ChiTown will be joining is in the 8th inning.
  15. What I tell the players I coach is this. "If its spinning... It's a curveball". That's all you need to know.
  16. Yeah... I'm never ever really sure why?
  17. Why is that ball not caught?
  18. It's like a mood... Everything is fine for awhile and then all of sudden in cyclical fashion the mood changes and pretty soon the couch, the chairs, the kitchen appliances, the color of the bathroom isn't working anymore. So you get some new stuff and you don't like that stuff until you get used to it.
  19. I think the Dodgers vs. Royals would be too Blue!
  20. Twins: SP Kevin Correia 2B Dozier C Mauer 1B Morneau DH Doumit LF Arcia 3B Plouffe RF Herrmann CF Thomas SS Florimon Royals: SP Jeremy Guthrie RF Cain 1B Hosmer DH Butler LF Gordon 2B Tejada 3B Moustakas C Kottaras SS Escobar CF Dyson Things to think about: 1. Think about the Astros... Yeah we swept them... But they played some bad baseball... It has to be the worst sweep feeling produced in quite some time. 2. Think about the Royals... The Royals are turning it on. I've always felt that this team was capable of contending and they were very slow coming out of the gate. They are 13-3 since the All Star Break and within wild card consideration distance. 3. Think about the Blue Jays... The Blue Jays are 51-60 and the Twins are 48-60. The Blue Jays went for it... This year... It can be argued that the Twins didn't... I don't know what's worse... Cheering for a team that didn't go for it and wasn't supposed to succeed and end up failing or Cheering for a team that went for it and was supposed to succeed and end up failing. 4. Think about Oswaldo Arcia... It just feels better having him in the lineup. Don't it. 5. Think about "Take me out to the ball game" Why do we sing that line at the games when we are already at the "Ball Game"?
