    You set 'em on the tee. I take a whack.

    Timely hitting. / good hitting has a habit of appearing to be timely

    My wife wasn't planning any trips, and doesn't read TD, and somehow she's already on her way.

    It's not surprising. Virginia's a big state.

    Willingham managed to leg out that triple standing up at second.

    Do you know a burro from a burrow?

    Why is it that to get from St Paul to South St Paul you have to travel through West St Paul?

    I was going to go with Time Magazine's 100 Most Influential People of Kentucky issue.

    RB? Is that you?

    Different sport, but I always loved Ray Christensen when he did Gophers football on radio. I remember one play from scrimmage deep in their own territory, where there was a handoff to the running back who was making a good gain, and about 10 or 15 yards into the play Ray threw in "no flags, he's at the...". I thought "no flags?" Then I realized, "NO FLAGS!" The runner had broken away and saw nothing but daylight, and Ray got that across so efficiently since so often a play like that gets called back.

    Billy Martin and Ty Cobb come to mind.

    Minor league stats viewed broadly have shown a lot of predictive power. They were a reason for instance to expect Escobar to hit better this year than Florimon, not that Escobar's likely going to continue the current torrid pace. True, but essentially every minor league player plays under this same constraint, so again the stats that accrue can have meaning. The dreaded Small Sample Size of course obscures meaning. / I don't really want to sidetrack this thread so if much response is called for let's take to a new thread

    Capitalism, free markets, and highest bidder winning auctions, are on the way out?

    Just seems like a kneejerk reaction on the Twins part, to having no backup CF options this year when an injury or two struck, and to plan ahead for a few years to make sure it doesn't occur again. Which is fine. I think it's a smart policy to have many decent corner OFers learn the intricacies of the routes et cetera that a CF needs to be prepared for. Guys like Kubel and Willingham will not be called on to cover CF under any circumstances at this stage of their careers, but even a slow but young guy like Parmelee, who apparently takes good routes in RF, would be a useful 3rd stringer in CF if he had several dozen games worth of experience there (which he does not). I'm not advocating turning every young player into a utility/fourth outfielder, and guys who project as absolutely solid starters on the corners maybe don't need to expand their repertoire, but if in doubt, give them something to put on their resumes for CF.

    It's a pleasure to be associated in any way with a dynamic organization like this one.
  17. ashbury
    And the smudge.

    Winnah!

    Good thing you alerted Braun to this, otherwise he might have poked it 10 feet farther.

    Rick Anderson needs to do several thousand situps and crunches.
  21. ashbury
    Yeah, lot of homeless in Reno.
  22. ashbury
    Karl Malden. I'm sure your son will come out looking similar.
  23. ashbury
    Somebody else will have to finish the Carnac routine on this one.
  24. ashbury
    Your son has a good dad. / if he survives until he moves out

    Trolling!
