    With the Twins looking like they have a prayer to stick around for a bit, why not give old Jim Thome a call and have him fill out the bench?

    We had enough depth at CF heading into the season, nobody could predict Mastro would get this hurt and nobody could predict Hicks would struggle THIS much at the plate. I still am glad the Twins were able to get Meyer, Worley and May, even if they have a hole in the lineup for a month or so. (I Still think Hicks rebounds or Arcia takes the job from him)

    This would make me nostalgia all over my keyboard if it happened.

    Wood is nothing special and I wouldn't send anyone down at this point. I'd doubt he would even get claimed.

    It came up inconclusive but it doesn't really matter IMO, 20, 23 33 the kid has 50 HR power.

    Unfortunately no. Me and Verve have an open relationship these days. ****, now this is the official hungover as **** because I got a phone call early and couldn't fall back asleep thread. It was awesome though, I was out with some girl and her friend, they came back from the bathroom and basically propositioned me. "Check please!"

    The dude gets on base 44% of the time and has a .959 OPS, anyone who would whine about that is a moron and should probably not bring children into this world.

    Being Single again finally is the best thing ever!!!! a gentlemen never tells and I don't know the french word that that one thing is called that involves more than 2 people but less than 4, but its pretty awesom. Brock knows what I am talking about!

    Doing a great job with the youngsters: 1. Hanging with Hicks. Even when the times are tough. 2.Rewarding Arcia by batting him 3rd a day after he hits a game winning HR. Things like this HAS to motivate the other players in the Twins org who no know if they play well, they will be called up and given their shot Gardy has his issues no doubt, but I think so far he has done a great job with this roster.

    Where????
  13. DaveW
    Will you please do a nick punto tribute one? Or a tribute to Punto, Batista, Juan Castro (use that outline of him dropping the ball), Valencia. Gone but not forgotten.
  14. DaveW
    They should play 1 or 2 games each year in the Metrodome just for ****s and giggles
  15. DaveW
    Haters gonna hate, if Hicks wants to be a long term leadoff man we definitely want him taking as many walks as possible, with his speed those walks often times will result with him on 2nd base, or if they don't steal could score on any double. His walk rate and low strike out rate is a sign that he is getting more confident at the plate, the hits will start coming, they always do. The cool thing is, if he is able to bounce back this season and turn it around then he will have the confidence in the future should he ever experience a slump again as well. People forget that Hunter in his "rookie year" had a .217 BA and a sub .600 OPS through his first almost 200 at bats, the Twins ideally will show Hicks the same patience and it will pay off down the road.

    I am seeing a team that has suddenly won 4 in a row, above .500 and is only 1 game out of first place. The pitching has been pretty solid, the defense has been decent or so and some of the bats seem to be coming around a bit (more to come) I'm not going to predict they will keep all this up, but to say you shouldn't be at least somewhat encouraged at this start makes you a real scrooge.

    This talk of water boarding is a bit ridiculous, these kids were ****ing amatuers and I think blatantly were acting alone or if they had accomplices were pretty small time as well, yes it was terrible, yes it was horrific but at the end of the day the body count was only 4, and yes there were tons of people injured but it should be noted that any suicide bomber in such an instant would have killed and injured the total amount ten fold. Some little punk 18 year old killed only a few months ago walked into a school and killed 20+ CHILDREN, yet no laws, policies will change. A couple of nut jobs who are/were close to Americans set off a couple bombs and go on the LAM and suddenly we want to change the constitution and start torturing folks due to fear and fear alone. The acts were obviously reprehensible, but the last thing we need to do is "change" a bunch of **** on a whim as a country like taking away basic rights of CITIZENS.

    That or still having a rose in the season of: The Bachelor: Once Shot At Love With The Statfreak.

    I think they can sweep the division at home. (4 wins) I think they beat Det on the road and Chicago on the road (2 wins) Eagles, Redskins, Browns at home should/could all be wins and the Vikes would be favored in all. The Pittsburgh game is 50/50 since its in London. @Bengals and @Cowboys are winnable games. @Ravens looks tough on paper, but honestly I see the Ravens as a 7 win team this year. @GB and @NYG are almost sure losses. So basically I see 7 or so games they most certainly should win (obviously there might be an upset in there) another 6 that are 50/50 or close at least. 2 sure loses and one upset special (@Bal) With that said I could see them winning anything between 9 wins and 11 next year. If things break all the way they could sniff 12 wins and if they get some bad luck you are looking at 8 wins.

    It's nice to be at .500 again, like most years, as log as the Twins are near .500 (ideally better) they are still "in it" and makes it worthwhile to watch them. I would be very happy if we can somehow keep this up and win 75-81 games.
  21. DaveW
    DAMNIT, I tried to post to this thread from my phone last night. Had a whole paragraph typed in that would have looked hilarious come this morning.

    :s-bluecap:USA USA USA USA good ending, but methinks Boston PD is going to look pretty terrible in the coming days.
  23. DaveW
    More like Tom Glavine could only hope to be Correia.
  24. DaveW
    No way, if Pelfrey starts pitching well I think you take the opp to sign him to a 2 year deal or so. This team can't afford to be trading "legit starting pitchers" anytime soon.

    Derp.
