    Last game he played for us I counted 5 times when the announcers called him Sal. :-) They eventually just called him Butera.
  2. ThePuck
    I would laugh my behind off if that happened...that would be too funny
  3. ThePuck
    By 'usual suspects' you mean who exactly?
  4. ThePuck
    Good for him
  5. ThePuck
    Yes, for one season. If we had traded Perkins, after one season of dominating as a reliever, for a player like Morny is now you would have been okay with that? It's what you're saying really...that a guy like Nathan, after one season as a reliever after failed time as a starter, could have easily been had for a 2013 Morneau type. Actually, I believe you would have been okay with that.
  6. ThePuck
    He excelled as a reliever. Would you talk about how Perkins has been for his career, with his career ERA over 5.00 as a starter, or highlight what his role is now? Same kind of path Nathan had...

    We have a worse record now after 103 games than we did in 2011 when we lost 99 games. We are better than we were last year after 103 games...by one game... It's a mirage that this season is going better than our last two....

    The Orioles and Astros have worked out a deal that will send Houston starting pitcher Bud Norris to Baltimore in exchange for outfielder L.J. Hoes, a Competitive Balance Draft pick and a Minor League left-handed pitcher right before the non-waiver Trade Deadline on Wednesday.

    I don't know how Nathan was a lottery ticket. He was a darn fine reliever for SF the year before we got him. I know I wasn't surprised he ended up being a great closer. Even though I was long gone out of California by then, I grew up in the Bay Area, and still had many Giants friends, and they were pissed he wasn't going to be around to replace Worrell as closer. I laughed when we got him for a guy we didn't need.

    Until August. Hmm, or maybe not even then.
  11. ThePuck
    exactly...just bland...
  12. ThePuck
    IMO, you can't throw a pitch right down the middle on a 1-2 pitch unles you throw serious heat and even then, not the best idea. The batter is already in swing mode to protect. You have to make the batter chase it. Instead, Tejada gets a 2 out hit, then the HR. Avoidable.
  13. ThePuck
    Are you saying the Twins organization is one that respects their fans?
  14. ThePuck
    By all accounts, Dozier has played an exceptional 2B

    "This is an investment in our fans and an investment in our brand, to do what we can do to mitigate a trying summer," said Schlesinger, noting that this is the first initiative under the team's Fans First campaign. The team announced Monday that each fan who shows up with a ticket to any of the team's 12 home games in August will receive a $10 voucher that will be good for food, beverages, tickets or merchandise. "We were finalizing something like this to give back to our loyal fans just as news of Ryan's suspension hit," said the team's chief operating officer, Rick Schlesinger. "Mark decided he wanted to make a dramatic impact that would cost more money." Milwaukee Brewers to distribute $10 vouchers for August games - ESPN

    I thought you were talking about players still in our organization...I was just wondering if we had another Benson that i didn't know about.
  17. ThePuck
    Benson?
  18. ThePuck
    Crain was just traded, he's on the DL.
  19. ThePuck
    Tampa Bay just got Jessie Crain from the White Sox.
  20. ThePuck
    What have you seen, by the way this team operates, that makes you believe this is true?
  21. ThePuck
    Are you under the impression the Twins management care about their fans' opinions?
  22. ThePuck
    So now we have fans who are turning on Sano...that's hilarious...
  23. ThePuck
    How much more credit do you want people to give him for the Span and Revere trade? Seems most everyone on this board has said he did a good job with those trades.
  24. ThePuck
    Cabrera wasn't a Terry Ryan trade.
  25. ThePuck
    Seriously, think about it. The midseason trade he's most proud of is one that cut payroll, not the one who brought over a needed piece when we really needed it (Stewart). How anyone can defend the fact that he points to a payroll saving trade over a trade that did a very good job of improving the team? One really has to be trying very hard to keep Ryan in a good light if he/she does that.
