  1. Tired of watching the Tigers win...anything close after 7 and my money is on them! Sad, but true...
  2. I've always hated Buck's voice--like a twangy, sideshow barker at a county fair somewhere.
  3. An amazing trick that top baseball officials don't want you to know!
  4. A little scrambled egg motif starting high on the shoulders and grade AA egg shaped buttons...how about that?
  5. 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!!
  6. 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.
  7. 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...
  8. 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.
  9. Poor Cory is very nondescript looking. He's trying to add a bit of pinache, I guess. I'm glad we have him...
  10. True, and one of the few wins this year when scoring under 4 runs...but, it's hard to lose a shutout!
  11. 46, it might be best to increase the Metoprolol for the duration--but of course check with your doctor first.
  12. 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?
  13. 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).
  14. 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."
  15. .500 again, and much faster than I thought it would happen! F.rom here on in it's play .500 on the road and win 2 of 3 at home. If I never have to endure a dugout interview during play again...well, that will be just fine.
  16. Impressive win...now 2 games below .500. Small steps... Rejoice guys and gals, the Twins have strong starting pitching...it's just a shame that Detroit, Cleveland, and KC are all playing out of their minds.
  17. Impressive win...now 2 games below .500. Small steps... The Twins were Houdini on the diamond for much of the game!
