    That is true. In my skepticism over the corporate-speak, I failed to mention that there was none of that "I'm sorry (if any snowflakes were offended)" junk.

    That has a familiar ring to it. I'll have to check the archives....

    Desperate times call for desperate measures.

    I picture Dick Bremer giving him the fingertips across the throat signal to drop it.

    So did Linda Blair, and look at the good it did her.

    Is that Latroy speaking, and did he really just say that a cross between a slider and a cutter is a slutter?

    The sign in the window seems to indicate 10 for a dollar. You could probably go in and make them an offer.

    They keep track of this, you know.

    No, this is not a Menard's: http://www.tacomalawfirm.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/LOI-Test-Photo.jpg

    Yours was better.

    Tapia didn't look good in Left on Mauer's double.

    There are other gifted proofreaders at this site too, you know.

    Felix's 11 a.m. (yawn!) start against Birmingham's Barons on Wednesday was quite good through 6 innings: 2 runs on 3 hits and 1 walk, with one of those hits being a second-inning homer that followed the walk. Unfortunately, the Barons scored 6 in the top of the 7th inning, changing a 6-2 deficit into an 8-6 lead that the bad guys maintained through the remainder of the game. Felix was charged with 3 of those, making a total of 5 earned runs for the game. He could have had better luck that inning - he left in the seventh with the bases loaded and 1 out and no runs in yet, having thrown his 101st pitch - but the bullpen not only couldn't hold the fort, they let the opponents completely overrun it. Only 4 hits and 3 walks - 5 earned runs sound kind of high for that, doesn't it? Sometimes you pitch a good game and lose. That's baseball.

    Rortvedt had his first multi-hit game of the season, going 2-4 and scoring a run in the Kernels' 7-4 win over the Peoria Chiefs Wednesday afternoon, raising his batting average.

    It's only one game, but this afternoon he went 1-for 2 with 2 BB. Obviously he reads Twins Daily. He didn't even have the courtesy to drop you and me a note of thanks (you for the hit, me for the walks) for the kindly advice.

    It sounded corporate. His next live interview, and surely there will be one on the topic, will be more revealing. And yes, I guess I do want to know whether and how much he internalized the remorse; I consider the written statement opaque in that regard, so (as I said) I'm on the fence, i.e. withholding judgement.

    Der Max needs to work on his changeup, the fielders have him timed.
  18. ashbury
    It seemed heartfelt, from whatever professional writer performed the task for him. I'm on the fence as to how significantly the player himself internalized it, although hopefully he's seen the problem beyond just his own self-interest for future earnings now at risk.

    The big guy is my Adopt-A-Prospect, so I believe I am contractually bound to take the over, even if the number was 40.

    Mrs Ash and I enjoyed chicken dinnah tonight, for what that's worth.

    This didn't sound quite right so I refreshed my memory with a Google search. Imagine my surprise to discover that today is not Opposites Day*. * Can't explain right now, check again tomorrow maybe.

    howtodealwithdave may be intended as a humorous tag, but there's also such a thing as kidding on the square. We allow a lot of additional latitude in this forum area, but there is still no great value to being combative toward an individual, and this is what it will come across like to many readers. If you want to make inside jokes or whatever, take it to PM like ChiTown suggested. Keep the public posts reasonably accessible to the wider audience. Basic respect is still expected.

    I guess I was wrong. Dinger got something.
