  1. When are you going to bring her around for a game thread? I think it would make a great second date. I suppose a pop-up and a strike out for the next two batters would be too much to ask for.
  2. Is that a reference to Vanimall's date?
  3. I am not sure why people are worried. We scored two runs in an inning. Our bats have awoken -- we are about to be deluged with hits from here on out. I think before the month is up we are going to have a four run game.
  4. It is good to know there is going to be a morning after. [Not that I equate the Twins with an ocean liner flipping over in the middle of the ocean and tragically and somewhat comically sinking.]
  5. Have we scored three rums in an inning yet? Do you think Vanimal is pulling up TD on his phone and reading to his date what he thinks are his best posts to impress her?
  6. The one sitting down wondering "why I am here with these people?"
  7. Isn't this TC with Trump in this pic? http://wac.450f.edgecastcdn.net/80450F/y105fm.com/files/2014/06/tc-bear.jpg?w=600&h=0&zc=1&s=0&a=t&q=89
  8. Positive note - so far no strike outs.
  9. Chief's jokes are at a different level and standard than other jokes because they are usually so new and fresh.
  10. One of my favorite Mike Redmond moments was when he hit a triple. I thought he was going pass out from exhaustion.
  11. He probably got help from the wind.
  12. I cannot really comment on this - because we did use our unattached garage much of the winter as a place to store food. Always worth a detour when my Mom started the Christmas baking.
  13. Plus they can skip the putting it in the freezer step - since it is Canada.
  14. No one elses eyes are bleeding from the image of RB's last statement before the lineup?
  15. Last year's opener was close enough.
  16. I am guessing his opponent is TwinsNorth. http://dailypicksandflicks.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/10/Tetherball-Bear.jpg
  17. Damn - I missed the original post about predicting the first a home run - so as I read some of the later posts, I thought the game had started and at first thought they were actual home runs. Reading comprehension is not always my strong suit -- although that might not matter for game threads and might even be a blessing not to fully understand all of the posts.
  18. I believe this is something that even Bernie, Trump and Hilary supporters all agree upon.
  19. I am hoping you won't be able to say this when all is said and done...
  20. The HOF is obviously a big honor and still a big deal, but do you think it is as highly thought of as it was in the past? There is so much gray area now about who should be considered, who was doing what etc. Plus sadly, I am not sure the younger generation cares as much about the history of the game just who is playing now or possibly who they watched while growing up (not to sound like an 85 year old curmudgeon). I could see it go either way for Mauer, although currently trending towards not. I think it might depend a little on how he plays the next few years and if in retrospect if it looks like his downtime was due to concussion or other issues. A world series win the next couple of seasons would help..... Too bad if he does not get in, because it did look like much more of a sure think 7 to 8 years ago, and it would have been fun to see a hometown player who seems in general to be a good guy to get in for his hometown team. It would have to be a bit of a disappointment for him, but he seems grounded enough where he will still be able to enjoy spending his post-career at his "cabin" and watching his girls win the high school championship for whatever sport they are playing and being a color commentator for some network (the last one might be somewhat unlikely) .
  21. Interesting stuff -- fun to read about Nathan's nervous tick and AJ's aggressive intensity and ego. I am glad there are no reports recorded for prosperity about any body shape and athletic defects I had at age 19. While this is not exactly on point for the scouting discussion - it seems like a good time to revisit this picture. .http://l3.yimg.com/bt/api/res/1.2/_0WX0nFaniuDL9JRe6LzsA--/YXBwaWQ9eW5ld3NfbGVnbztxPTg1O3c9Mzc1/http://l.yimg.com/os/publish-images/sports/2014-04-22/2681bf90-ca62-11e3-825a-1b55848ea173_young-perk-and-mauer.jpg
