  1. Does she like the Twins? You can spend the evening passionately debating their free agent strategy and the relative merits of the front office's approach to building a contender as compared to other franchises in the league.
  2. So, why exactly are you still here talking to us?
  3. Now, why couldn't Justin start doing this a month ago?
  4. I can see this now: Gibby: Hey, can I post pictures of your scantily-clad wife on the internet for other people to look at? Neighbor's husband: :shoot:
  5. I would be more concerned about a punch to the face, but I don't know your neighbors, so...
  6. That depends. Can you post a picture of the lady, so we can make a proper evaluation? Edit: Oops! Came in second that time.
  7. It could be worse...he could still be pitching in Minnesota.
  8. Not to mention "bleachers" - has anybody ever seen any laundry actually being done in them?
  9. And for that honesty the fans have rewarded them by ... not coming to ballgames. They are 28th in attendance, ahead of only the two Florida franchises.
  10. I think this is less about Brunansky and more a commentary about selective outrage. Last year there were many who were vigorously calling for Vavra to be fired because of offensive troubles, and to be replaced by somebody like Brunansky. The offense this year, while somewhat improved, is not significantly better than last year but there has been silence so far about Brunansky's role.
  11. Understand your point, but the Twins almost always do their rehabs in Fort Myers, at the GCL and/or Miracle level. That's where they have their ST complex and training facilities and can better monitor the rehab.
  12. My guess is they were waiting to see if anybody was going to offer something for Doumit, and when that didn't pan out they allowed Butera to go.
  13. http://globaltradingedge.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/10/tightrope.jpg
  14. And that just opens up all sorts of potentially dangerous topics.
  15. Tis truly a blessing to be able to live off of your passion.
  16. Humbled and ashamed, I get up to put my unopened can of Chef Boyardee ravioli back in the cupboard.
  17. It's possible that they haven't talked to them and are assessing discipline as the first step of correction. It's also possibl that they have talked to them, and perhaps more than once, and that these disciplinary actions are a second or third (or more?) attempt to instill a proper professional attitude. Since none of us are in the clubhouse, none of us know definitively which scenario is correct.
  18. And I don't mind personality, as long as it doesn't become something that can be disruptive in the clubhouse and affect team chemistry. And I'm not saying that is the case here - but if they've seen something that they are worried might develop in the future, I can understand why they might want to address it early in his career before it develops into a problem. This is all speculation, of course, as nobody here knows what was said afterward in the clubhouse and what the concern really is.
  19. Wasn't Sano benched in Fort Myers in June for a few days for some sort of clubhouse issue? Hope this isn't a sign of personality issues that may develop down the road.
  20. Twins batters after being spanked by Weaver: "Thank you Sir! May I have another!"
  21. Dang! We're making this Weaver guy look good!
