    If the name of the band was Missing Link then your post is appropriate - otherwise try again. / edit - scooped by 'bri this time, having fixed his post apparently
  2. ashbury
    I don't know if that would work - has it ever been tried before?

    Meanwhile, back at the outhouse, things are piling up... any angst over Correia not getting his shot at a CG shutout again? / scooped by Chief again, though the question still stands
  4. ashbury
    It's rude to explain a joke, but I just wanna make sure everyone here appreciates that Chief's military background brings a specific nuance to one of the words here.

    Slow learner? / edit - beaten to the punch by Chief - not the first time, won't be the last

    Just on Sundays? That's no good.

    Colabello screwed it up with a base hit.

    Without DNA evidence, I deny all posts attributed to me.

    Carnac: Oo, RISP. Ed: RISP? Sounds a blend of "limp wrist". I'm not sure I want to pursue that angle. Carnac: No. Oo RISP. The two together. Ed: Oo RISP. Like, the baseball statistic? Carnac: Over-rated in that context, Ye Who Strikes Out At Bat And At Singles Bars. Ed: Hey yo! That stings a little. Carnac: May the bees of a thousand fig trees sting the fleas infesting your cheese. Ed: Hey, that rhymes! So, o wise one, what's in the envelope? Carnac: "What do you get when you take the 'C' out of 'Coco Crisp'?" Ed: I don't get it. Carnac: They can't all be good.

    Carnac: Carnac. Ed: What? Uh, I'm Ed. *You're* Carnac. Carnac: No, o rotund one, that's the answer to what it says on the card inside this envelope. "Carnac". Ed: My apologies, insightful one. I misunderstood. Carnac: May the fleas that infest Ryan Doumit's catcher's mitt find a home in your athletic supporter. Ed: Hey-yo! And now, the contents of that envelope? Carnac: "What do you call the special skill needed to commit grand theft auto?"

    Sundials, eh?

    Clete can be a fourth outfielder, although that's not a hard slot to fill (we got Mastro on waivers and he's been fine when healthy). I also don't see the point in not playing Plouffe and Florimonster until they come to the skipper asking for a day off. Which no player that you want will do, of course, so then the coaches have to infer who is hurting and needs a day. Maybe that's what's going on here, but I doubt it.

    With regard to the pitchers, only Correia was signed purely as a stopgap in a year viewed at the outset as one of transition, and only one guy has stepped forward in this environment of opportunity. Neither of the other off-season MLB-ready moves with potential upside (being generous here with Pelfrey) has worked out, the two other young guys acquired in trade aren't ready yet, and none of the young guys already in the organization aside from Duduno has made his case to be instrumental even in 2014, although Gibson/Hendriks/Albers have the remainder of the season to change that statement. The one guy they thought was solid, Diamond, regressed to a level becoming his status as available in a rule-5 draft. The process has seemed right, but the results to date are unsatisfactory.

    I've been to drag shows where the legs were better. / edit: sorry if that was your mom and aunt, Winston
  15. ashbury
    In his last 14 games Chris Beautiful Cola has an OPS of 1.030. It's small sample size, and somewhat cherry picking of the starting date, but still, it is nice.
  16. ashbury
    It might take Buxton or Sano plus another solid prospect to do this. Would you? It'll come down to talent evaluation by the experts in the Twins front office - if they have spotted something that might lower the ceiling on one of their top guys, it could be a way to get the talent pipeline into better balance for pitching versus position players. But if you end up with a trade that's seen years later as being on the order of Miguel Cabrera for Roy Halladay, oof, tough to pull the trigger on that. It's that question of balance that leads me away from thinking of trading for Stanton, good as he is. Do we believe the ceiling on Buck is lower than on Giancarlo? I doubt it. And we're not thin in outfield prospects.

    Beyond what Brock said: the hilarious subtext is that this poster would himself not have the intestinal fortitude to repeat what he said to Albers in person, much less to fight for the opportunity to do it by getting press credentials or a job in the organization. The post is delete-worthy but for some reason we're letting it stand as a laughingstock instead.

    Oh, and: nice job jinxing the team out of a win, CTTF.
  19. ashbury
    Well. That worked great. Better luck tomorrow guys; winnable game that should leave a sick feeling for both the offense and the defense.
  20. ashbury
    Can't be forced. But what is really needed is the Rally Avatar, which I am providing forthwith.

    I think Riverbrian may have come bacon-wrapped when he was born.
  22. ashbury
    "What's that, Lassie? Riverbrian's fallen in a well? Go start the game thread, girl!"
