    From the ESPN.com pbp: A Presley fouled out to second Even though I've got a pretty good idea what must have happened, this way of saying it looks funny.

    As a complete gambling n00b, I will ask what may be an obvious question: do sports books offer any interesting/fun propositions in-game when the first inning is like that one?

    I just saw that Morneau went 1-for-3 plus a walk yesterday for the Pirates, for an OBP of .500 and a SLG of .333. Thus his lifetime NL OPS is .833, versus his career AL OPS of .832. Further proof that the AL is the tougher league!

    Open ended poll: Labor Day preference, hot dogs versus hamburgers versus brats versus whatever...? We'll be having grilled pork chops, I think. / leftover chops from the other day - still good when microwaved but lacking some magic

    His AAA OPS across four seasons age 24-27 has been .837. His MLB OPS across a similar span has been .723. I think this gives us a pretty good bead on what he can do.

    The Platinum Option would let the Twins choose without blackout dates, but it cost $2M and Terry turned it down.

    While glunn was writing his warning, I was deleting posts. There is no purpose in turning every thread into "what the Twins should do in the offseason" or "Terry Ryan: what do YOU think?". Please heed glunn's advice.

    Good call on that. Kudos.

    Very good. Here's one more, and I'm done: "I don't get it. Did she take a few hits of acid?"

    Good. 'Nother'un: "That was your air freshener swinging back and forth."

    "Is that a worm on your butt or are you just glad to see me?" / not a blonde joke
  14. ashbury
    Where is Brian when we need him, for some blonde jokes? I'm not going to post blonde jokes. Instead, I'll do something that was fun on road trips: here's the punch line, what's the blonde-joke setup? (Who knows, you might come up with something better than the one I know.) "My stupid computer keeps saying, 'You've got mail'"

    My Photoshoop skilz are not good enough to fix the camera angle though.

    Hey, where'd you find the formal portrait of Chief?

    Is the 2013 team Ryan's "Glen or Glenda"?

    Folks, When the Twins announced their players being sent to the Arizona Fall League (AFL), John Bonnes made an off-hand comment about a Twins Daily road trip. Something of that magnitude might be a little fanciful, but I'm thinking about going and he and I agreed maybe a clearinghouse would be useful for those who plan to go, or are considering it. The Twins players will be on the Glendale Desert Dogs. All the AFL games are in the Phoenix area. Our guys have games from October 8 to November 14; here is a link to the full schedule: http://mlb.mlb.com/milb/stats/stats.jsp?t=t_sch&sid=l119&cid=454&y=2013 Team roster is here: Major League Baseball | Winter Leagues | Arizona Fall League | MLB.com: Events USAFChief lives somewhere in or around Tucson, a two-hour car ride away, and has offered a bit of interaction with anyone who makes the trip, but no rights or privileges for his barcalounger (ahem, "Ekornes Stressless, full leather", per Chief). I think one or two others spoke up expressing interest too. Anybody with ideas about going, feel free to post a response here, and if some sort of critical mass begins to develop we can take it from there. At this point, I think any vague but possible idea of going is worth mentioning, without it being a commitment for now. I am considering a trip there during the week of October 14, regardless of whether anyone else goes.

    Darn, and I had the Rally Avatar all lined up for the top of the tenth. And Bark, to answer your deleted question, the left one.
  22. ashbury
    Thank you for explaining what the hell that was.
  23. ashbury
    Saint Looie was a piece of cake too. The Dodgers are who have the track record to worry about.

    Moderator note: folks, while this comment in regard to the impact Pinto might have is OK, please don't take this as a jumping off point for a threadjacking into a discussion of the overall state of the Twins franchise. Start a new thread if you feel so inclined. I already had to delete one post that was sufficiently off-topic.
  25. ashbury
    If that were the case, a GM wouldn't have signed a Jamey Carroll type for 7 figures in the first place.
