    1. Steve McQueen zoomed through in his 1968 V8 Ford Mustang GT. I think I'll watch Bullitt before the game.
  2. Benchwarmerjim
    Probably Scott Diamond in 2012
  3. Benchwarmerjim
    Kyle Gibson has one more walk (17) than strikeout (16)
  4. Benchwarmerjim
    The Twins are the only American League team with 3 players scoring 10+ runs (Dozier, Mauer, Plouffe)
  5. Benchwarmerjim
    When Delmon Young went after Jose Mijares.

    Dave St Peter tweeted this yesterday: Myself, I respect Jeter as a player and understand what he has meant to baseball. But, being the face of the Yankees and the [*] ESPN does has made me not a fan. Can one boo a player and have be a sign of respect? * graphic term moderated out by ashburyjohn

    Ripken announced during the season he was retiring, so his tour started in July
  8. Benchwarmerjim
    Mauer was over .400 until June 21(his 46th game played) his lowest point was .353 on Aug 1 (game 79)
  9. Benchwarmerjim
    Morris is ok, but its too bad the Twins/FSN cant/wont hire an analyst who played baseball this century.
  10. Benchwarmerjim
    Im guessing Terry Ryan offered Colabello in a trade to any team (with the return being any warm body) but no team took him up on it because they know the Twins are in a numbers crunch and could probably pick him off on a waiver claim.
  11. Benchwarmerjim
    The hate and dislike comes from his pitching pace. Paint dries at a faster than Pelfrey pitches.
  12. Benchwarmerjim
    I liked Coomer as a change of pace from Bert. If he had a full season, I would probably get tired of him, but he seemed to offer up some commentary about pitch sequence and what the batter is thinking. I would be nice if FSN finds an ex Twins player (or any player, but I doubt they would go outside of the Twins family) that played baseball in the 2000's.
  13. Benchwarmerjim
    I know this time of the baseball year is a lot of wild speculation and dream scenarios, but why would the Yankees trade Gardner for Plouffe when the Yankees have about 10 teams calling them up about Gardner?
  14. Benchwarmerjim
    I hope the Royals swoop in and give Pelfrey a bigger offer. or there is a clause in his contract that say he has to speed up his pace.
  15. Benchwarmerjim
    maybe a discussion for another day, but the broader issue here is (and Minnesota Twins fans are aware of this with past injuries) that concussions are not limited to the football field and hockey rinks. And you gotta wonder if the MLB and the MLBPA and the equipment manufacturers are doing anything to improve catching equipment to reduce the chances for concussions.

    Mike Berardino tweeted yesterday I think the 'good fit' isnt on the Twins end, but on Molitor's end.
  17. Benchwarmerjim
    Minnesota Twins hire Paul Molitor as coach - TwinCities.com that should probably answer the questions "why now?" and "is Molitor is a manager in training?"
  18. Benchwarmerjim
    what about the years he went 12-14, 11-6 etc with essentially the same bad talent on the mid to late 90s? Radke was good. Very good. He is in the Twins HoF. He wont be forgotten by those who followed the team from the doldrums to the playoffs. He just doesnt have enough (no Cy Youngs, no leading the team to a World Series, etc) to reach 'retire number' status.
  19. Benchwarmerjim
    when? when the attendance falls through the roof at Target Field and need a promotion to rally around. but really, Radke is a good representative for the Twins and a great player and is the Twins Hall of Fame and thats good by me. His number gets retired if he goes to Cooperstown.
  20. Benchwarmerjim
    Im not a smart enough baseball mind to figure this out, but is Ubaldo a 'better' version of Sam Deduno? (you know, live ball, doesnt quite know where its going, gets ground balls, etc)
  21. Benchwarmerjim
    the thing I am thinking about is that Twins fans have to let David Ortiz go. There is a whole wave of Twins fans, young people to mid 2000's bandwagon fans to only want to bee seen at Target Field only fans, that never saw Ortiz play in the Twins uniform.
  22. Benchwarmerjim
    Kubel was not on the roster.
  23. Benchwarmerjim
    there has got to be a way to move that energy from burrowing into the catchers noggin to something else padding on the front and back of the cage? some sort of breakaway mask? the 'outwards facing V'? some sort of combo?
  24. Benchwarmerjim
    as best I can tell... BOS: Breslow, Ortiz TBR: Delmon OAK: Balfour DET: Hunter STL: none PIT: Morneau, Liriano, Garrett Jones, ATL: Luis 'I want to be the closer' Ayala LAD: Punto
  25. Benchwarmerjim
    does 'outright' mean they are off the 40 man roster and are free agents, or do the Twins still own some sort of rights?
