    Sounds like the beginning to one of Bette Midler's "Soph and Ernie" jokes, not one of which I will even attempt to paraphrase here.

    You've hit on the secret to a strong bench: play all your scrubeenies. Substitute Fryerzie for Suzukizie in the 2-slot, and we're golden!

    Wishful thinking, or old habits die hard? So sad. Few in the Twin Cities even remember the glory days of Control Data Corporation. You really need to get out of Grand Forks more often and see what the wimminfolk elsewhere are like. If worse comes to worst you just pull the parka up over your head and wriggle out of it.

    Moderator's Note: A news item about a player on the DL for a short time turns into yet another The State Of The Twins Franchise: Your Thoughts? Angsty seems about right to me. I'm closing this thread. It's no longer productive.

    We've gotten quite a return-on-investment from this news item.

    Wants to know if Joe is currently seeing anyone: Leaving, disappointed.

    I'm not sure this CF's bat will play in right field. And even with the praise, it seems like a 10-pitch 3-strikeout deserves another shoutout. If we did offer to trade him, wonder what another team would give to have him.

    Or... waiting for the crop of new kids to be ready, and using older players to supplement until then. "Muddling through" isn't necessarily the same as "muddled mess".

    Mrs Ashbury informs me we are going to Sacramento for a fun-filled day of curtain shopping, so I won't be joining the online game-time festivities today. Pray for me.

    That's cheating. One of the sides is flat. Too easy.

    A couple of other "thoughts" that missed the publication deadline: 6. Chris Parmelee. If he plays the full game today, 90% of his major league career innings in center field will have been played... today. He's been steady in RF for us, but lacks range, and may not immediately know how to pick the best routes to the ball. Remember the (purported) Chinese curse, "May You Live In Interesting Times". Something new to watch, at least. 7. Jorge Polanco. He's starting today in place of the incumbent shortstop Pedro Florimon, who was starting in place of Danny Santana, who was starting in place of Eduardo Escobar, who was starting in place of, oh, who even remembers? Maybe Polanco will reel off a string of consecutive games to eclipse Gehrig and Ripken, thus putting Florimon in line to be remembered alongside both Mario Mendoza and Wally Pipp.

    Moderator's note: we realize emotions run strong on topics like this, but I needed to edit out some clearly disrespectful words elsewhere in this thread, and here the discussion verges into claiming to know what goes on inside other people's heads. Please review the TD Comment Policy if you are unsure what respectful discourse means. (Not that any policy statement can cover every case, so please try to stay away from the "line".) http://twinsdaily.com/showthread.php/8837-Twins-Daily-Comment-Policy-latest-revision-September-2013

    And now the pitcher holds the ball, and now he lets it go, And now the air is shattered by the force of Sam Fuld's blow.... There is no joy in Twinsville — mighty Sam Fuld has popped out.
  14. ashbury
    You don't play for the tie on the road, though. Using hindsight, I blame Correia.
  15. ashbury
    Wonder if the Twins just about lead the majors in meaningless 8th/9th inning runs by now. Several losses recently where the starter gave up runs, and our guys didn't start scoring until the bullpen was reached.
  16. ashbury
    Correia-zie feeling a little sick about those two insurance runs in the 5th, right now.
  17. ashbury
    Greedy.
  18. ashbury
    Polanco-zie!
  19. ashbury
    Finally some fun, regardless of the outcome.

    Suppose They Gave A Rally And Only Two Scored?
  21. ashbury
    Suppose They Gave A Game Thread And Nobody Came? / obscure

    Meanwhile, don't look now, but Morales's deadline trade value is surely dropping like a rock. / Simul-post with Chief's wittier effort.
  23. ashbury
    That evil bastid!
  24. ashbury
    Run off and Hyde, judging by this game thread. Except, there is no run, so far.
  25. ashbury
    Same as Florimon's last at bat.1 1 If my wish is granted.
