    Whewwwww.....

    Funny thing .... not the negative ads yet. But I'm losing count of how many former paper boys are running for office. Okay, Twins, let's get it together here.

    Iowa's part of it (that's why we get phone calls on Christmas Day before the caucuses - geez). This time it's because there are some fairly hot races in Nebraska and Iowa (and I think South Dakota, too but I don't pay that close of attention) and lucky us .... we get commercials for all 3. Blech.

    I'm just glad that there generally aren't political commercials. I watch approximately 1/2 hour of local television a day. And in that 1/2 hour there are always commercials for at least 4 different candidates .... and it is only May 1.

    Little early yet. He's still got a couple of hours to anticipate.

    Is Glunn's "date" tonight?
  8. JB_Iowa
    That's cuz you're Reelin' in the Years.

    Just had that song going through my head today .... nothing like a 40-year regression.

    Johnson on track for a 180 pitch shutout.

    Just thought this was interesting: Mike Berardino ‏@MikeBerardino 8m Mike Pelfrey threw 63 fastballs at #Rays on 4/23: 89 mph: 4 90: 11 91: 29 92: 18 93: 1. Today: 88: 10 89: 22 90: 30 91: 6. Down 2 ticks

    Just need to play them in another night game ... 3rd times a charm. They have to be frozen by tonight.

    Mike Berardino ‏@MikeBerardino 2m Pelfrey at 71 pitches thru 3 (41 strikes). Has fallen behind 11 of 18 batters with ball one. Lawsy.
  14. JB_Iowa
    Was going to say that we had to celebrate a Twins lead quickly while Pelfrey was on the mound .... but NOTHING happens quickly with Pelfrey on the mound. Sigh, sigh, sigh.

    Just remember -- it does no good to say it if you can't sound sincere. If you sound like a politician, you're sunk.

    LOL, I often open the window in 20 degree weather.
  17. JB_Iowa
    Pretty sure you are right. I really loved the Ode to Joy commercial though. Have to go back and watch it periodically and find myself singing it every once and awhile. Then I look at the faces and I can hardly remember when some of them pitched for the Twins.

    Well, we're supposed to be in the 60's by the weekend. So I guess all either of us need to do is get through the next day or two.
  19. JB_Iowa
    I'd roll over in 96 degrees. Ick.
  20. JB_Iowa
    That Barbershop quartet commercial just isn't 3-2 count we love the slider.

    Drew Butera -- eye candy. (His highest and best use).

    Channel 450 on Dish, Halsey.

    Well duh.... forgot he was that young. But then, having come of age when the legal drinking age was 18, I also tend to forget that it is 21. But the fact that baseball doesn't take action for other illegal acts in the same manner that they do drugs doesn't necessarily mean that they wouldn't want to do so. But this is one place where in fact there IS a trade union with whom they have to deal (even if that union appears to be more interested in protecting major league players than those in the minors).
  24. JB_Iowa
    Illegal to get plastered drunk? As long as he does it in private and certainly as long as he doesn't drive, I'm not aware of a law that prevents someone from getting drunk. But regardless of that, I would hope that if the Twins found out about it, they would offer their employee assistance program. And if the Twins found out about it happening on a regular basis, that they would somehow mandate their employee assistance program (and whatever alternatives they may have under a player's contract). Sporting leagues aren't law enforcement agencies. They are privately owned entities that expect certain behavior from their employees. Those expectations are subject to certain contractual limitations (more at the major league level than the minor) but they exist nonetheless.

    Perhaps. But for young players, it is also about self-discipline. Rosario failed on that front.
