  1. Pretty clearly a 3-inning stint for Rally Avatar needs to be allowed for. Here she is, one last time this season, glunn's best friend, Olivia!
  2. Michael Tonkin's 0.00 ERA. Ruined. I blame Gardy.
  3. Since Chief's not here to say it, I'll fill in: The low road. You took it. / edit: Oh, and believe me. I could have picked a much worse potato picture than that one.
  4. Most people with nice jobs have annual reviews, in which you look back at the year's accomplishments to determine things going forward. With reGardy to the Twins manager, I am having trouble coming up with many. Dozier, yes. Mauer was good, but any credit for that went on previous years' annual review. He installed Florimon as the regular SS, and got AAA hitting to go with MLB fielding. On the pitching side, Deduno stepped forward with an above league-average performance before needing to be shut down. Perkins, see Mauer above. They got full value out of Correia. The bullpen in general came out OK, particularly Swarzak who I choose to believe grew up a little after the cracked rib incident, but nobody emerged as lights-out. If the Twins ended at 66-96 with several young guys having stepped forward and older guys like Correia not contributing like expected, I'd feel differently. Given what we've seen, I'd give the manager an Unsatisfactory rating and look to move on.
  5. See, this is why the Pohlads take NO chances.
  6. When I located this photo, I took a look around to see how it and various copies of it was interpreted. What I found was universally "heart". I was wondering who in this group would speak up with the ambiguous interpretation (that I also was worried about, hence my research).
  7. I had some hopes for a nice game by Diamond to close out the season. First three batters reaching base, two runs in, and there goes that theory. I still hold some hope for a few of the players given lengthy tryouts in 2013, but I believe Ryan needs to cut ties with most of the clutter that is on this 40-man roster. Preferably by 3-for-1 trades to get some minor leaguers with upside, but DFA if need be. 2013 was supposed to be about finding out what we've got, and the answer (at the 40-man roster level) is "not much".
  8. Merely clicking Like on Brian's intro seemed insufficient, so:
  9. Didn't have the horses... to beat the TWINS? I feel for anybody rooting for a team that bad. Surely being lumped with the White Sox, Astros, Angels and Mariners deserves some sympathy. Hm, say... post #38? I assume the game is about to start?
  10. Whatever they offer you, don't take 'em.
  11. Tomorrow's headline: "Twins Come Through With Perfect Bottom Of Ninth For Trudge-Off Loss"
  12. 12-6. Anybody's ballgame. Go get'em, Twins.
  13. If this season has been a necessary cauterization, so be it. If it's just random third-degree burns being applied, I'd like to get a second opinion before going in for more treatment.
  14. Not a great actor, but a courageous one.
  15. Liam is too touchy a pitcher to manage, or else unclear on the concepts - apparently I need to take the Rally Avatar down when he's on the mound.
  16. Is it just me, or do Twins games tend to drag on just a tad?
  17. Just a hunch, but I bet Chief can rattle off a dozen even better ones without even trying.
  18. We definitely need an avatar for when the other team's up to bat. Maybe this one would work.
  19. With all these antics, bunk, and downright tomfoolery, I nearly forgot to put up the Rally Avatar in this hour of need.
  20. "All Things Ill-Considered"
  21. Still getting carded, apparently.
