    I think they have a good chance to be around 16-18 or even 17-17 if the pitching steps it up a bit. If we're within 2 games of the top with only playing 1 divisional series by then, I'd be ecstatic. I'd be more than pleased being 4-5 games back before the Indians come to town to get the May and June stretch going.

    Criticism of.....Butera? Having a 3rd catcher? Analyzing one bad player with another? The sad part is we're even discussing this, the reality is this is about what the best thing to settle for is. It would be nice if the Twins could use that freebie on someone who could actually help the team. That's my point.

    Yep, I'm definitely in the Twilight zone.........my......point.......was.......it's funny.........and pretty........ineffective..........to........fine.......a man..........who makes...........$4.5..........million...........dollars..........$750.......... dollars............and..........think...........it might.............discourage............his...........behaviour..............just like..........(this is ...........the analogy.........part).............me............getting..........a 10 cent..........parking ticket.............would...........discourage me...........from.........continuing.........to..........illegally park...............................it wouldn't.............yaaaayyyyyy, we made it to the end. No rage my friend, we're all good dude. I'm ok with only me finding it funny, really I am. Your math was funny.......a bit literal but funny.

    Knee jerk? I've been kvetching about Butera as far as 2 years back, last year developing into full fledged querulous whining! I won't defend Hughes but your comparison is between a guy who was pretty useless and a guy who is even more useless.

    Missed an opportunity to solidify our mediocrity.

    Everyone's a critic, especially in the cyber world. I'll await submissions from all who can do better....................but I won't be holding my breath. I smell a promotion John!

    Sarcasm is "a sharp, bitter, or cutting expression or remark; a bitter jibe or taunt",[1] usually conveyed through irony or understatement.[2] Most authorities distinguish sarcasm from irony;[3] however, others argue that sarcasm may or often does involve irony[4] or employs ambivalence Is it alternate reality day?

    The downside is that it might end up being the worst hitter in the modern history of baseball.

    I can safely say I'll never get worked up about anything a professional athlete tweets, it's about a guy who makes $4.5 million a season getting fined $750. I'm sure that whallop to his wallet will correct that behaviour. Like I'd stop parking illegally if the ticket was a dime.

    Indians closer Chris Perez has been fined $750 by Major League Baseball for a "reckless" message on his Twitter account after a benches-clearing incident in Kansas City. Well, there goes a day at the arcade.

    Give Butera a break? Why? The guy had the worst statistical batting season of any position player since the '50's!! Stevie Wonder could have got on base more than him. How does that warrant a break? The definition of "Dreaded" in Webster's is "Drew Butera". I agree with your points on having a 3rd catcher, just not who. Yes, there is a useful purpose to having 12-13 pitchers, we need them all to get through 9 innings.

    Les français utilisent une variété de mots différents, à des moments différents, ils peuvent donc secrètement se moquer de personnes anglophones. Surtout des Américains. Et ils se demandent pourquoi les gens ne sont pas comme eux ... en fait il y a beaucoup de raison.
  13. twinsnorth49
    Non,non, non. Nous sommes dans une profonde, l'eau profonde, ne sommes-nous pas?

    Traduit quoi? Je ne suis pas sûr que si quelqu'un sur ce forum comprend le boucher. Win jumeaux et vive les Expos,Vive la Steve Rogers.
  15. twinsnorth49
    wider not larger, does that clear it up?

    Why are we talking about Joe Mauer's bicycle lock?................oh right the 6-4-3, 4-6-3 thing, do you really think that's the combination? That's not very imaginative. I think he's a key guy myself. I wonder if he rides his bike to Target field? Not very safe in Downtown traffic,especially with his injury history. You'd think for 23 million a year he wouldn't have to ride his bike very much and even so he would probably have a pretty good lock, like made of some kind of Joe Mauer super steel or something. What is this thread about again? Oh yes double plays and Joe Mauer learning to bunt so the Twins can win the pennant. The Twins turned a few double plays tonight, do those come off the total they are trying to hit into so they can lose or do 1-6-3, 1-4-3 double plays not count because they aren't Joe Mauers' bicycle lock combination, is that right? I'm trying to follow along, although I have been drinking, mainly to help me forget about this thread. This is all my hyperbolic opinion, but it also could be true.
  17. twinsnorth49
    Yep, that's what we need, our best hitter bunting from the 3 hole, no wonder the Twins are losing! It would have been much better last night if Joe had bunted Carroll to 3rd and let Morneau drive him in. That way we could have scored 2 runs instead of 3. I usually defend Gardy but now I can see why so many people want him fired.

    My favorite moment was this spring when he made me believe we could finally replace Alexi Casilla at 2nd base. Damn you Spring Training, you wicked enchantress!!!
  19. twinsnorth49
    So what are you saying? A. He's not the best FA hitter the Twins have signed in a long time? B. 16 years isn't a long time ago? C. He's not the best FA hitter the Twins have signed in a long time because he's not the best FA hitter in MLB history? Which is it? And where did you find the crystal ball that tells you what a player's batting line will be 5 months from now?
  20. twinsnorth49
    Oh great Oracle of baseball, whatever shall we do without your infinite wisdom?!

    With what, a full frontal lobotomy? Maybe a stun gun?

    If this lineup manages to go around .500 for the rest of the trip I'd expect to see something happen by the time they get back to Minny. Plouffe can play in right against left-handers, possible to see Doumit and Mauer rotate between 1st, catcher and DH and Morneau to get in a couple more games at 1st and DH the rest. This was the situation the team was realistically looking at at the beginning of spring training. The Thomas pickup has just made the RF situation a little more flexible and better in my opinion, it makes it much more plausible to send Parmelee to Rochester and bring up Towles.
  23. twinsnorth49
    Damn straight brother!
  24. twinsnorth49
    Just what the doctor ordered! Gotta say I liked the look of that lineup tonight.
  25. twinsnorth49
    If tonight's lineup can keep producing like they did tonight and Morneau shows some resilience then I see that as the right move in the not too distant future. Parmelee would be better served grooving his swing in Rochester.
