  1. Well written. I like his competitive spirit and the fire he brings as well
  2. Any word on why Sano is still sitting? Is he hurt?
  3. Looks like wheel of fortune wouldn't be my best game show after all...
  4. Funny how things like that work out- hopefully one day even casual twins fans know how to spell it
  5. He has been promoted to Elizabethton. I hate to be the guy who gets on everybody about spelling... but if I were a player I'd want my name spelled right. Maybe it was a typo, but the kid's name is Stephen Gonsalves. I've seen people confuse him with another prospect named Gonclaves, or just call him the wrong name (Steven, Gonslaves, Stevie, Stev-O, ok I made those last two up) That being said, we are all rightfully excited about Stephen Gonsalves' bright future.
  6. Glad to see Meyer slated for a comeback. Let's hope he's well rested and healthy
  7. Sano was 0-4 tonight I believe. Any news on why Buxton is still sitting out? He didn't show too much "attitude", did he?? edit: Sano is still coming around, no doubt. I saw him recently in person, looked very good.
  8. Tough break for Thielbar on that one
  9. Having issues with that ad too.
  10. Mine too. I wasn't banking on getting him or anything, but I have to admit reading your post was a bit of a punch in the stomach. Like seeing the girl you had a crush on talk to another guy. Who happened to be in your division. And was really good to begin with.
  11. Can't believe this thread is thriving. Looks like the masochists came out tonight
  12. Well stated. I see similar shades of "attitude concern" with Arcia in this community if not our own beloved organization. I like guys who get after it and aren't afraid to show it. Done the right way, that's what competition is about. I don't have an issue with some chastising for this event, but one point that I think has been overlooked is that players often police the game themselves. Want to pimp a homerun? Expect one high and tight next time. Everybody eventually figures it out. You can't fit a square peg in a round hole. I hope this organization handles one of the keys to our future with the utmost understanding.
  13. And for all you old timers out there who curse the attitudes and kids of the next generation, how many of you knew that our own Harmon Killebrew was the man who was first widely known for standing at home plate, admiring his own home runs?
  14. Papi part 2? He still haunts me on the New Britain website. At the very least he gets the hell out of the twin cities once his contract is up, even if we somehow manage to offer him a lucrative deal. What I just said was facetious at best, but it's a real fear of mine. Sorry I don't fully endorse the Twins way. Guess what, he's a 20 yr old kid from the Dominican. Was he out of line? Yeah. BUT HE IS A KID. People mature. I hope the Twins don't stifle his personality. I trust he will learn how to handle himself- the game often sorts itself out like that. I remember Harper pimping home runs in the minors. I just hope Sano doesn't get alienated by the "Twins Way", or as I often call it with much chagrin, pure vanilla. Please- can we have nice things? I don't want to see him go to New York or elsewhere and become Papi Part Deux way down the road.
  15. I don't want to be overly critical, but that throw from Doumit was one of the worst throws I've ever seen from a major leaguer, let alone catcher.
  16. it's a bag of old spuds
  17. I want to see gibson go low and away with that slider more than he has ahead in the count
  18. One of my favorite parts about being a Twins fan is our history. We may not have as many WS titles as the Cardinals or the Yankees, but we do have two fantastic World Series victories. 1987 is often looked because of how awesome 1991 was/is, but the storyline of a team that was overlooked but ultimately conquered is incredible. And 1991. A series that went the distance, with 5 games being decided by 1 run, 4 walk offs, and a 10 inning shutout delivered by Jack Morris in game 7. The morning of that game, Jack Morris ate breakfast with his family and declared that he knew the Twins were going to win that night. IMHO, the greatest World Series of all time. Sometimes I still like to rewatch that World Series- it still gives me chills. Here's a link to Game 7: Brings tears to my eyes.
  19. Yeah it just happens when I put my mouse over the thread. I know you guys work hard to make this site what it is and I really appreciate that. Thanks for taking a look at this
  20. Grab a handful of seeds while you're in the dugout, Al.
  21. In fairness to Doumit he was playing no doubles
  22. Shaggin flies and shuckin corn, good guy that JB
