  1. Concur. When I said visiting team's hotel, I meant the one that other teams typically use, not that another team would be there. On days where there's no game, the team can maybe even save a few bucks due to lower demand*. Sweet. * I bet the hotel's revenue-management software eliminates that particular market inefficiency though. Oh well.
  2. You could be right. I'm just thinking greater than normal due-diligence would be called for if Toronto calls up and offers Marcus. Google searches for '"insert player here" controversy ' is a lot more target-rich for Stroman than for Bumgarner, last time I looked and now again this week. With Stroman it's always something. Buyer beware.
  3. I was thinking the same thing. Many top prospects have never set foot in Minnesota. So why not put a guy in a first-class seat on a plane a day after his start, have a limo driver meet him and bring him to the ballpark, give him a taste of the major league clubhouse and food, put him up at the visiting team's hotel, have him pitch off the Target Field mound instead of some grubby bullpen for his between-starts work, and send him home in similar style a couple of days later with a keener sense of just how close he is to never having to travel an inter-city charter bus* to a game again, if he continues his rate of progress. * I guess AAA uses aircraft a lot of the time. Poetic license.
  4. Chicken is now selected for tonight's post-game mega Dinnah.
  5. Chappelle's proposal for Fake Canadian ID cards for all US medical patients.
  6. Gosh darn it all to heck, Adams. What The Fooey?
  7. Finally, the prayers of a great number of TD posters have been answered: Byron Buxton is in the leadoff slot!
  8. My Fake Canadian friends appreciate this one.
  9. Never pays to be too hip for the room.
  10. The panel would also have accepted, "Didn't you used to be CJ Cron?"
  11. Your insurance agent must have two boats by now.
  12. We were distracted by the squirrel.
  13. Fun With Numbers (Game Thread edition): Three of the nine Twins in the starting lineup are o-fer, but two of them have either a run or an RBI. Only Marwin has had a truly empty day.
  14. I've never been to Ally Bank, but they seem to honor my checks. Like MN, they may or may not exist, but in the end it doesn't really matter.
  15. I cna ytpe 300 wrods pre mniuet!
  16. Make that, "fourteen to two."
