  1. How do you think we survived all these years?
  2. You seem down. Let me cheer you up. http://www.cnn.com/2017/09/17/us/neil-degrasse-tyson-on-climate-change-cnntv/index.html
  3. One simple stat worth mentioning: the Twins have seven players with enough plate appearences to qualify. The only spots missing are catcher and DH. This implies a stability on the field that's been missing for a while.
  4. I tend to think the former, but we can't know until a replacement is named. I also think this makes Jake Mauer's future in the organization really bright.
  5. Gotta be Mauer, after his past several seasons.
  6. You could even add facial recognition technology, so it knows which players to treat differently.
  7. I do not remember that one. The notion of having Blyleven and geometry mentioned together does sound pretty comical, though.
  8. I wonder how large the audience for this thread is? Does anybody know how large the audience is? Sean? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=czaDGaoD8Dw
  9. Hopefully Sano comes back with some degree of effectiveness and Kepler gets hot. Could make some noise in the after party with all these bats. By the way, LaVelle tweeted he thinks Gibson should start a WC game.
  10. So when my nephews were small and we'd walk them back to our house after school for the afternoon, one time the youngest was telling us about the strange pet one of the families in the neighborhood had. They said it was a pet wolverine. This struck us as unlikely in the city limits, and we'd never seen a wolverine up close before. We had them and their group of buddies take us to the house in question, so we could view this ferocious creature. It was an armadillo. Also unlikely in Minnesota, so exotic.
  11. First episode of the Ken Burns Vietnam series showing on PBS right now.
  12. 4-2 home stand; acceptable.
  13. Perhaps it the acceptance of 'this is how workers are let go every day' that's part of the problem.
  14. Today may be the most important start (to date) of Gibson's career.
  15. I don't give a darn.
  16. Game started an hour earlier tonight. Wait a bit, and the usual suspects will make an entrance, I predict.
  17. I'd say it sets up Jake Mauer as the heir apparent.
  18. That should have been handled better. Disappointing.
  19. Good to see Kepler in against the lefty.
  20. Then the problem needs to be worked, like Buxton and Rosario have overcome many of the things holding them back. Will he be able to do this from the bench? I'm skeptical.
  21. It was when he stepped in after Mauer blew out his knee early in his rookie season of 2004. Blanco did an incredible job.
