    Pelfrey is signed through 2015.

    Buxton has yet to even swing a bat since his injury in mid March. You arent going to see him with big club any time soon, and if he doesnt get into a lineup somewhere soon, almost certainly not at all this year.

    That slide was not dirty. To me, it looked extremely routine, and Gardy and the Twins agree with me. http://www.startribune.com/sports/twins/blogs/119432044.html

    I believe LENIII was reporting this spring that he added like 10 or 15 lbs of muscle over the offseason.

    One extra base here and there is the difference between the best hitter in baseball and Drew Butera. It is also the difference between the best fielder in baseball and the worst fielder in baseball.

    I wonder if Bert stopped throwing his curveball when he was up 7-0?
  7. Mr. Brooks
    I think you need to get your eyes checked. "A few" OF'ers hold that to a double?" LOL, no that was a routine double for 99% of outfielders.
  8. Mr. Brooks
    Ok, how is that for corner OF defense? That ball should never be a triple.
  9. Mr. Brooks
    That's an out in KC.
  10. Mr. Brooks
    How so? Does the sun disappear when Gordon goes out to LF?
  11. Mr. Brooks
    Based on today's game I'm beginning to question 2 things I hear a lot. "Florimon's offense doesn't matter because he bats 9th." and.. "corner OF defense doesn't matter."
  12. Mr. Brooks
    Should have had a big inning there.
  13. Mr. Brooks
    I don't know much about Bo Porter but I now know he's a clown. It's okay for him to use strategy in a 7-0 game (defensive shift), but it's not okay for Lowrie to use strategy to try to beat the shift? These old school baseball unwritten rules are a joke.

    Top 5 sandwiches: 1)Philly: Has to be authentic, and I am FIRMLY in the Cheese Whiz camp, while my wife is in the Provolone camp. Once, I saw a commercial on TV with Arby's advertising a Philly with Swiss cheese. I damn near broke the TV, that is not a Philly, please call it something else. 2)Cuban: Nothing beats a good cuban. But at the same time, it can be very hard to find a good one. Have ordered Cubans from many places that have left me disappointed. Have to say I wasnt impressed by the Cubans at TF. Too small, and maybe it was a function of SSS, as I've only tried them once, but mine had a chemical taste or something to it. 3)Meatball: Everyone who cooks has a 'signature dish'. Mine is Chicken Parmigiana over spaghetti with meatballs. I usually make it on Sunday's, and I make everything except the pasta from scratch, takes me most of the day. Long story longer, there is almost nothing better than picking up some hoagie buns on my way home from work Monday for some amazing leftover meatball sandwiches. 4) Patty Melt. Patty Melts are such a perfect combination of ingredients, and unlike the Cuban, it is pretty hard to screw up. This is one you can order most anywhere and know you are going to be satisfied. 5) Pastrami. With lots of spicy brown mustard, YUM.
  15. Mr. Brooks
    Good, we aren't going to figure out if Pinto can be a MLB catcher if he's not catching.
  16. Mr. Brooks
    Happy birthday Joe Mauer.
  17. Mr. Brooks
    Of those three, Presley has the highest career WAR. If Presley is "awful" what does that make Hicks and Mastro?
  18. Mr. Brooks
    Jeez, that whole article is just gross to read.
  19. Mr. Brooks
    Bernadino reporting that Bartlett is retiring.
  20. Mr. Brooks
    If they are both in the lineup anyway there is no reason Pinto can't catch every now and then with Suzuki DH'ing. Yes, I know Suzuki is nowhere near an ideal DH, but like I said, if they are both in the lineup anyway, doesn't matter much. Whether or not Suzuki needs a day off should not be a factor. Pinto has a chance to be a part of the next Twins playoff team, Suzuki does not. It's still early in the season, a lot can change, but if the Twins get to the end of the season still not knowing if Pinto has sunk or swam at C it will be very frustrating.

    Except there is no proof that LBJ ever said such a thing. It is a attributed to a single person, Ronald Kessler, a right wing author, and has never been corroborated by anyone. Ronald Kessler has already been proven once to have fabricated a story regarding an Obama/Jeremiah Wright anecdote, then admitted to attempting to remove the story from his Wikipedia page biography when the story was proven to be false.
  22. Mr. Brooks
    Well the Twins should probably play him at catcher then if we want to find that out. Right now he's on pace to catch 32 games, which isnt really going to be enough to tell us one way or the other.
  23. Mr. Brooks
    If AB Walker struggles against breaking pitches and off speed pitches, wouldn't you want him to see MORE of those pitches (so he can improve), not less? That is what the minor leagues are for, to improve where you need improvement, not to win games or pad your stats.
  24. Mr. Brooks
    LOL "is nishioka betting against the twins?"
  25. Mr. Brooks
    Calling Florimon a "below average" hitter is being pretty generous.
