    Earning you an additional Award Of Special Merit because those raisins were found at the Petting Zoo.

    Just be glad that 113 isn't in Sumerian.

    It's possible to keep two concepts separate.

    Your mother is a saint. Also a Guinness Book Of Records entry.

    Do we call our guys Koko? That could be awkward.
  6. ashbury
    Yeah, but it's a DRY heat index of 113.

    It took a few seconds, but then the loopiness was palpable. You could almost see the little birdies and stars circling his cranium.

    Nah, they're just relaxing. They'll regain relevance. Rely on it.

    Now that you ask, I'm having trouble locating his obituary. Maybe just as with his baseball exploits, rumors of his demise have been exaggerated.

    If Sidd Finch were alive he'd be rolling in his grave.

    Durrrrr... never mind

    I continue to eat crow regarding Marwin in RF. He played very little in right before coming to the Twins, and I didn't like what I saw early on, but he's applied himself and is making some plays to enjoy.

    In the Sumerian number system, you don't know NOTHIN'.
  14. ashbury
    No. It being AFTER the All-Star Break, that makes it Postposterous.
  15. ashbury
    Over.

    I didn't get this reference, until I remembered that the Sumerian number system was Base-60. Hilarious!

    Jake Cave breaks up the no-no. As expected.

    Gee whiz, and this same joke absolutely KILLED when I tried my hand at open-mike night last weekend at the comedy club. Here was the MC for the evening:

    We could have used him in Minneapolis yesterday.

    My syntax has a track record for doing this.

    Moreover we've now witnessed, two times in quick succession with Morin and Magill, the reason to open a 40-man spot without necessarily filling it. It's already been stated that to remove a guy from the active (25-man) roster, if he has no minor league options remaining, then he has to be removed from the 40. That is independent of a decision to add someone else to the 40 - because it's not a step that is easily reversed later on. If the guy you want to bring up to the majors to replace him is already on the 40, it's fine to leave that empty slot for later. I applaud our FO for cutting two guys who they determined were the ones to cut, 40-man considerations be damned. You don't do it lightly, but you can't let fear of losing an asset drive every decision, especially a small asset.

    Usually in that metaphor, "grain" is a plural/collective noun. With this bullpen, however, it's pretty much down to a singular grain.

    All right, let me try a different way. Imagine a white supremacist. They do exist, and some are intelligent and educated. Pick someone you know, or an imaginary one if not - someone realistic, but let's not quibble too much on the exact nature of the person - it's just a thought experiment - someone who has gone beyond just idle internet chatter and has joined a group or something. Now suppose that person also has dabbled in the Men's Rights movement. He might bristle at being called anti-female, but he thinks that females are moving into areas that should be for males. Those people exist too, and the intersection of such leanings is hardly fanciful. White supremacist. Men's Rights. Imagine now showing that post to this guy. The one I was responding to. The post that highlighted words like 'ghettoized' and 'plantation', trivialized capable politicians as 'loudmouths, and calls attempts to address wrongs 'baloney'. Imagine him reading it. Now: what part of that post would he disagree with?

    So, you're OK with not being buyers at the trade deadline?
