    Injuries are part of the game, he's not the same player if he alters his game in order to preserve his health. Nobody plays trying to get hurt or not hurt, it's a hard game. Just reality, welcome to it.

    You don't play professional sports with the goal of staying healthy. There isn't some switch in your head that tells you which plays to go for and which ones not to. Buxton at a 100% is what makes him Buxton....otherwise he's Jake Cave.

    If only someone could have seen these bullpen performances coming.....

    What about a pointed stick?

    I remember the first time I visited Barcelona back in the early 90's. We were at this little outdoor bar located in a larger square, probably got there around 10:00pm or so and it was pretty dead. It fascinated me as I sat there over the next few hours as it became increasingly busier and busier. By the time 2:00am rolled around and I was ready to stumble back to my apartment, everyone else was just heading out for the night. I still remember waking up at around 6:30am and hearing people as they staggered home.

    I love how a guy (in his 20's) being out until 3am is such a nefarious thing. Good lord, people in Europe and many other parts of the world don't even get started until about 2:00am. The DR isn't a whole lot different. 3:00am might be viewed as some ungodly hour in North America, a time where only trouble can occur, but it's not everywhere. Sano may have done something colossally stupid, but just because it was 3:00am doesn't necessarily make it more likely.

    Methinks you missed my point..

    Yes, and most cars have windshields as well, yet somehow that doesn't stop people from crashing into things.

    I'm just glad nobody here rushed to judgement.........oh, wait.

    Yes I do realize that, thanks. Short term gain, they made the playoffs but I don't believe Santana or not this team was going to be close to pushing the Yankees anywhere. They had a good run but were a pretender by most measures. Like I said, I get why they didn't do it.

    I'll miss Dozier but I had more affection for Escobar. He was so easy to root for, nobody expected anything from him and despite outplaying pretty much everyone they put in front of him, he still couldn't overcome the doubters. The guy just seems to be a genuinely good person who seemed to sincerely enjoy each day. I wish him well.
  12. twinsnorth49
    You really have to be impressed at the type of player Dozier made himself into. 24 WAR in the time he was here for an 8th round pick is pretty good. Once he moved from SS to 2B he never looked back. Man he was a crappy SS.
  13. twinsnorth49
    At this point it's a good move and a decent get for Dozier. Raley is worth more than banking on Dozier getting a 50 mil deal, one in the hand is worth 2 in the bush as they say. Forsythe won't be around long imo, just long enough for some Seinfeld jokes in a GT. At the end of the day, and without trying to be Capt Hindsight, Dozier really should have been traded at the deadline last season, given his age, contract status and the year he was having. There was no way his value was going higher. I understand the reasons they didnt, but they should have anyway.

    Nice, I've always liked May, hope he does well.

    Twins beating the Jays is like a double win in these parts. Tomorrow will be a good day. See ya!
  16. twinsnorth49
    Uhh..go where?
  17. twinsnorth49
    Who could forget something so epic?
  18. twinsnorth49
    Rusty Kuntz Am I doing this right?
  19. twinsnorth49
    Way to call him off Rex.
  20. twinsnorth49
    Kid Rock playing far RF
  21. twinsnorth49
    Depends who Escobar and Dozier just got traded for
  22. twinsnorth49
    When did Kid Rock come into the game?
  23. twinsnorth49
    Throwing your bat in frustration down 8-1 in the 8th seems a touch redundant.
  24. twinsnorth49
    And highly contagious.
  25. twinsnorth49
    Well there you go then..
