    I was at this game with my 3 1/2 year old son. He wanted to go home around the 6-7th inning (I dont blame him), but I kept telling him that something is happening in this game that has only happened about 20 times in the history of baseball, so we would be staying. He was not impressed. And after the hit, when everyone cheered, he yelled "WE WON!". I didnt tell him otherwise, we left after the hit.

    Had I answered before the FO move (or non-move) with Buxton, I would have said they could come to an agreement for a 1-2 year so Mauer can keep playing for the only team he should ever play for. But now, this FO has shown they will make purely business decisions, so I can see them saying "No thanks, you want to keep playing, find another team".

    I dont mind Dick that much, depending on who he is working with. With Bert, he is pretty bad. With Jack, hes awful. With Latroy and Justin, hes pretty good. He definitely can change depending on his partner.

    Ive heard about the subway issues. I'm getting old, and have a conference that starts pretty early in the morning, so I doubt I'll be out that late anyway. Thanks for the heads up.

    Yeah, Ive walked around the park a few years ago (Im sure it changed since then), but there seemed to be some cool places. Thanks for the BBQ recommendation.

    I'll be in DC in about a month, and going to a few Nats games while I'm there. Wondering if anyone else has been there, and has any insights on the best food at the ballpark or things to see/do at the park. Thanks

    I have to disagree with this. I suspect they used general anesthesia rather than some sort of block. They most definitely discussed the possibility of worse damage than was seen, and the need for complete repair and the timeline for that. In fact, they would need to talk to him about this possibility before hand to get consent for the full repair rather than what was planned. And after he woke up, they told him "unfortunately it was worse than we thought..."

    What I think I liked best (besides the insane baseball skill) was the fact that he learned Spanish just so he could trash talk the Latino players when he was on base. I have no idea if this is actually true or not, but I heard a story about a rookie coming into the mariners clubhouse and came over to Ichiro to introduce himself. Ichiro was at his locker getting ready for the game. when the rookie came over, Ichiro looked up, straight faced and said "What the **** do you want?". The rookie freaked out, trying to apologize, then Ichiro just smiled and started to laugh, and gave him a warm welcome. He seemed like a really cool guy, and a no-doubt 1st ballot HOFer. Im glad I was able to see him play in person a few times.

    No. just no.

    I admit I was one of the nay-sayers for years, mainly after the bilateral leg weakness and concussion. Looking back, I feel awful about my feelings towards Joe. He obviously wasnt 100% for a long time, and last year he showed he can still play incredibly well. I can admit my mistakes, and I am going to appreciate watching one of the greatest players in franchise history play the game. I was at the game in 2006 when he clinched the batting title and the game last night. It was pretty cool to see those moments in person and be able to appreciate his skills. Now, like Nick, I played against Joe in HS, and my team didnt make state until he graduated, so no matter what there will always be a little grudge held. PS Thanks for the great article Nick

    they just listed prices on the Twins website. that Murrays steak? $59!

    Mine: Joe Mauer will contend for, but not necessarily win, the batting title. My wife's: Twins make the playoffs, and finally beat the Yankees in a playoff series

    Haven't read the article yet, just came to say that your pun in the title is *Italian chef kissing lips motion*, just perfect...

    I have two that are regrettable, but in my defense I won them in Twitter contests from the Twins. I didnt actively seek them out. Danny Santana and Byung-Ho Park.

    Has anyone read the book "The Only Rule is it Has to Work"? about the 2 Baseball prospectus guys that run a indy baseball team? I am half way through it and its great. Just wondering if anyone else has read it, and if not, pick it up.

    I don’t know the photographer, but I believe her 100%. And this sucks. Why is it so hard for some men to not be terrible human beings?

    I used to think that Morris belonged, I knew I was biased from '91, but after reading this book, I changed my mind. The number just arent there for him. If you havent read it, get it, its great. https://www.amazon.com/Cooperstown-Casebook-Baseball-Should-Plaques/dp/1250071216/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1510147596&sr=8-1&keywords=jay+jaffe&dpID=512EVpuzlKL&preST=_SY291_BO1,204,203,200_QL40_&dpSrc=srch

    I have a feeling part of Molitor's extension was the condition of "We have final say to pick your coaches". That way, he gets rewarded for a good season, but they get to bring "their guys"
  22. BobAzar
    There are so many, and Im sure I cant remember a lot of them, but I think Opening Day. We won! It guaranteed a better start to the season than 2016. We looked like we were a legitimate major league team. And it gave me a little bit of hope that this year could be fun (and it was a fun season).
  23. BobAzar
    My thought was "oh man, thats a shot, I dont think even Buxton can get that". You'd think I would have learned this late in the season.
  24. BobAzar
    I cant stand it (no pun intended). I don't think most sports leagues around the world do this (Ive been to a soccer match in England, and they didnt). Just seems to unnecessary, especially when so may players nowadays are not US born. Even worse is the God Bless America during the 7th inning stretch on sundays. I have serious issues with that.

    Honestly, I'll take our chances in a 1 game WC game or 163. over a 5 or 7 game series...not so sure.
