    Very flat in game #2...sad to see. But...big weekend coming up with the Twins v. KC and Cleveland v, Detroit; something's gotta give. Upper 60s and lots of sun coming too. Win Twins!

    Devil magic...that pretty much sums it up. I can imagine Ramirez holding some dark, pregame ceremonies with incantations. I cringe every time I see him and that awful intensity on his face. Ramirez is, in a word, numinous. We won't have to deal with him until August now, and I pray that they trade him to San Diego before the deadline!

    Amazing h-t-h stats! That's certainly how it has felt of late, glad to know I havent been hallucinating. These devils just refuse to die in the late innings. Detroit seems to have that mojo this year as well. 18-3 in one-run games is astounding. But, nice to turn the tables today!

    Minder, some, maybe you, seem to believe that Rose was given a lifetime ban meaning, to some, maybe you, that once Rose's life was over the ban was also over. Ash has clearly indicated that "lifetime" bans are not provided in MLB's rules of conduct--rather "permanent ineligibility" is the term of choice. The state of permanence, unlike life itself, remains unchanged indefinitely.

    Tired of watching the Tigers win...anything close after 7 and my money is on them! Sad, but true...

    Brewers have a dome...

    I've always hated Buck's voice--like a twangy, sideshow barker at a county fair somewhere.

    An amazing trick that top baseball officials don't want you to know!

    48 is the MLB record...

    A little scrambled egg motif starting high on the shoulders and grade AA egg shaped buttons...how about that?

    Triskaidekaphobia...gotta get over that #13 hump and keep on rolling to #20 to have a chance to catch the terrific Tigers in the short term. In exile in Milwaukee for many years now, I'm aware that my friends and collegues here are mad to end the Twins' winning streak. I think that some of them would accept a .400 season for The Crew, if only they could rain on the Twins' parade either tonight or on Sunday. They are pretty nice folks in general and intense, and long-suffering baseball fans...but the schadenfreude in this state is served not only in the beer, but in the drinkimg water as well! Win Twins!!

    Who's on first???
  13. knothole61
    Most true heroes these day fly under the radar, I think. People who "walk on through the wind" and rain. People who do what needs to be done and never ask for thanks and never wonder why.

    I think there's good evidence that he took $5,000 from the gamblers (worth over $90,000 today) to keep quiet about what he knew was happening. Not a good look...

    Bean, some things are just plain wrong and time can not change that fact. I don't know if you are old enough, but I watched this whole drama play out in real time. I saw the cocky Pete lying through his teeth until the weight of evidence forced him at last to change his tune. I saw him fail time and time again to offer any true contrition. And I remember the toll he took on MLB Commissioner Bart Giamatti, a great man who may have been driven to his early grave in part by the stress that Pete's situation undoubtedly caused him. He's "paid and paid again for his actions" to you, but not to me...never.

    Amazing...bravo!

    Poor Cory is very nondescript looking. He's trying to add a bit of pinache, I guess. I'm glad we have him...
  18. knothole61
    True, and one of the few wins this year when scoring under 4 runs...but, it's hard to lose a shutout!
  19. knothole61
    Patzky...nice reference. How about a radiance of cardinals?
  20. knothole61
    46, it might be best to increase the Metoprolol for the duration--but of course check with your doctor first.
  21. knothole61
    Say it again!!!

    Sad...I had a Spalding, Rich Rollins glove as a kid.
  23. knothole61
    Nice to have the boys back over .500 again...but of course this is just "the end of the beginning." Detroit is a solid, in some respects frightening, team, and Cleveland and KC show no signs of implosion at present. This should be an old-fashioned horse race (-CWS) for the Division crown all summer long, I think, and what more could we ask for?

    Love that getaway day win! In Gardy's days we'd essentially have forfeited the game with a lineup based on resting the best players, even with an off-day coming up. Man, that drove me crazy. Remember the team that was swept in Atlanta? Well, I didn't see them on Sunday. Yet it is quite fortunate that the Twins won because, despite their recent woes, the Brewers will play us hard in Milwaukee. Their crazed and hype-loyal fans take this border battle stuff quite seriously, and will be supercharged and numerous in their support for TBC, (Their Beloved Crew).

    Keep Jax comfortable and he's very valuable. Give him the 7th and seldom on consecutive days. Again, I'm sure that some of the more analytical among you can throw some stats at me to try to prove that I'm wrong, but I will choose to believe my educated suspicions instead. After all, as Mark Twain was fond of saying, "There are three kinds of lies: lies, damned lies, and statistics."
