    Not according to Sergio Mendez.

    Ah, but that's north of Havana. I'll take Geography for $400, Alex.

    From the beginning of time.... even before television .... video games .... baseball .... or basements.

    But isn't Ipanema Beach in Rio?

    When she walks, she's like a samba That swings so cool and sways so gentle That when she passes, each one she passes Goes "A-a-a-h"

    Nope. Just the most beautiful rain most of yesterday. Some thunder and lightning but nothing bad. Sounds like Minny got hit w/rain but were there severe storms? But the Northlanders can stop filling up the rivers anytime now.

    Spin, Dick, Spin. (ERA American League vs. National League).

    You'd think they were still accustomed to playing in the Dome.

    He mixed up Pa Ingalls with Little Joe.

    I don't think I did. (however, please remember that I'm as old a many of your moms so I may word my response a little carefully).

    Yeah, I watched it again. Fact is that Nolasco has been hurt by some shaky outfield defense. Other fact is that Nolasco has not pitched well.

    Can we take the word "victimized" out of Bremer's vocabulary???

    Jackson = Fast Willingham = Slow Not a good combo.
  14. JB_Iowa
    At least Arcia has the capabiity of hitting a HR to make up for his gaffe.

    And he can write his first English 101 paper on what I did during my summer vacation.

    But now its a double whammy
  18. JB_Iowa
    And this week there should be an asterisk by Nunez' name b/c of that hammy.

    So I take it the broken nose required the surgery? Hope he feels better soon. In the meantime, I'm sure you're catering to his every whim. And OMG, I laughed at the Voodoo Dolls. Happy Father's and Son's Day!

    Well, Dozier is in the starting line-up today batting 3rd behind Santana and Mauer. Let's hope he can stay in the line-up and on the field.
  21. JB_Iowa
    Just saw this too but missed your thread so I posted the tweet in the other thread. 11 errors/33 games. Let's hope it was just a temper tantrum at being sent down to ROC.

    It's official: Dustin Morse ‏@Twins_morsecode 6m The #MNTwins will place Trevor Plouffe on the disabled list & recall Pedro Florimon prior to today's game in Detroit.

    Well, Souhan hit that one out of the park. Thanks for posting the link. I love this from Mientkiewicz: “I don’t miss the 30 homers and 100 RBI as much as I miss Sano holding his teammates accountable, and Buck does that, too. That’s great to see from two guys who — let’s be real — our organization is relying on. They’re both deserving of their reputations. Hopefully, they will become the players we believe they will be.” Nice to think that they are headed for being great leaders as well as great players. One thing that worries me, though having grown up mostly before the video game craze. This constant use of a video game controller -- can it really be good for your wrist?????

    Just as a cultural and historical lesson, the "Pennsylvania Dutch" have no connection to "Dutch". They are primarily of German descent (mostly from Southwest Germany) and have historically spoken a version of German that came to be known as Pennsylvania Dutch. As a group, they tended to immigrate mostly in the 1700's (some a little earlier). One of my genealogical lines was Pennsylvania Dutch so I've done a little reading on them. OTOH, one of my great-grandmothers was born in southwest Germany (was not Pennsylvania Dutch) and told stories of skating back and forth to Holland on the canals. She always said that they could talk more easily with their Dutch-speaking neighbors after they came to America than with their English-speaking ones. So, maybe Vanimal and Bert could have communicated. Obviously something just did not click in Minnesota but maybe Worley just wasn't recovered enough from his injury at the start of the season and everything spiraled downward from there.

    Thanks for the link, jokin. So many dreams for these young players. I look forward to seeing A.J. in mlb in the not-so-distant future.
