    Nice series win. Bell is looking like less of "a mistake" now-eh? The big man put one in orbit in Astros-land! Also. shout out to Keaschall on a great catch in right center...the kid is a talented athlete.

    Sad but true, H2O! I do not understand the value of a limited ABS system. I remember a game at Met Stadium in the 1960s (I believe Tom "The Blade" Hall was hurling) and the ump had a real tight zone. The guy in front of me would stand up periodically and pull his glasses off and hold them out toward the ump while shouting "Hey try these pal" and other more graphic expressions. I was a young man and I thought it was really funny. So, I guess the only thing to be lost in going to a completely automated ball and strike system is robing the fans of the joy of hating the umpire--and that is a very rich and ancient baseball tradition! I do not, however, think that is reason enough to keep the human element involved in the calling of balls and strikes. These games mean a lot to people. We have the ability to get every call right and we should avail ourselves of that technology as soon as possible.

    I agree completely with "half-full" section, point #4. Lewis is packed with talent and will serve the Twins very well as long as he keeps that positive vibe between his ears. Lewis at first and Keaschall in right might be just what the doctor ordered?

    It's tough to play the Dodgers, but the losses still hurt. I'm pretty sure that Lee would have scored the tying run if he had been sent...and I'm convinced that he had to be sent with a ball fielded that deep in the corner and with two outs. He's not fast, but he has young legs and he's not a station-to-station guy like Caratini. It would have taken two perfect throws to get him at the plate, if even then. Send him and we might have won it in extras! Time to reset and string some wins. We are just halfway home.

    I really trust Clemens on defense. He's very versatile and even had a nice catch in center the other day...he's a gamer. Keaschall, not so much!
  28. knothole61
    Yeah, you can see Bell's positive interactions in the dugout, etc. He really seems to be a veteran leader, and man is he big: 6' 3" and close to 270, I think!
  29. knothole61
    Clemens is a gamer and a valuable, versatile player who flashed some serious leather in center at a crucial point in Sunday's game. Keep him around.

    Correct...my bad! I was at the January 4, 1970 game against Cleveland (W 27-7) but it was obviously the 1969 title.
  31. knothole61
    I like this team...20 hits on Saturday and on Sunday they start out like a typical "phone-it-in-get-away-day" loss (with Buxton waving at junk in the left-handed batter's box his first couple of at bats) only to catch fire later on and take the series. Maybe LA pours cold water on the fire, but man, it's been fun of late.

    I haven't seen the chicken meme in a long time...mmmmmmm!

    And no buffet after the game!

    The Vikings were the 1970 NFL champions...that's something-eh?

    So much pain for so many years...I could have cried in '67 when the Twins lost the last two games of the season in Boston to finish one game behind them for the A.L. crown. Kitty popped something in his arm in the first game or we might have won it...and the beat goes on.
