    If you press the like too often, there is a concern it will cause internal conflict with users who have the classic Minnesota stoicism as part of their physical make-up and in worse case scenarios can cause injury. Rumor has it that is really how Mauer tweaked his oblique. Like that 1-2-3 8th.

    I can't remember which one is the ant-jinx and which one is the jinx rhino [not to be confused with the rally rhino] http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/e/e6/EDA_Rhinos_logo.jpg http://www.rivalart.com/cart/pc/catalog/AR4-RHINO-02-RQ_G.gif

    Are we allowed to talk about the game on these threads? (He is looking good).

    I know he can describe food well.

    I remember how depressed I was when Boo Boo got traded right before the trade deadline. It really messed with the club house chemistry.

    I think she stays because you are not a bad cook.

    I know there was a Twilight Zone episode based on how it worked.

    I was going to say what are the odds, but we have had a lot of AAAA/borderline MLB players drift on and off the team the last 3.5 years, so a recent ex-Twin traded for another ex-Twin is not really that not that surprising.

    At this point, I wonder if part of him would be relieved to be released from this job. It has had to be a very long 4 years. He always seems a bit weary and worn (understandably) when interviewed. Although that might be just his persona, because I remember thinking that when they were doing well in 2010. As has pretty much been said already, I don't think he is to blame for a lot of the problems, but I think they need a different approach to climb out of the cellar. This is a topic for a different thread (and has already discussed in great detail), but I wonder if they should have brought in new blood when replacing Billy Smith. I don't necessarily blame Terry (or Gardy), but while promoting from within and being loyal can be good, there are times when you need to bring in fresh ideas and perspectives and people who might be able to look at the organization with a bit more objectivity and not view that is clouded by a long history and loyalty to the team and staff and players etc. I am probably not the person qualified to be making any of these statements since it took me about 12 hours to remember my password to log into the new and improved page.

    A little disappointing, but at least we have a good chance of bouncing back against Sale tomorrow...

    She is part Shar Pei part Springer. She could be other things as well -- she was a stray, so her past and lineage is a bit of a mystery.

    I swear it was 0-0 when I pulled up to my house - by the time I turned the radio on in the house it was 3-0. For a second I thought they were replaying something from last night. That was some quick damage in just the short time it took to take the dog out and feed her.

    I tried to find a picture of a puppy holding a stuffed (rally) rhino. Not as easy as you would think.

    Here is Glunn's postiive energey (minus making some child happy). http://static2.lxdcdn.net/images/0378fa06adca65bc096313e786ddc6d7.jpeg

    They are not facing renowned ace Hector Noesi, so the bats should come to life.
  16. D. Hocking
    I am excited to see how this improves the focus and intelligence of the comments on the game threads.
  17. D. Hocking
    When Noesi wins the Cy Young this fall, Santana can look back and remember when he hit a homer against the best pitcher in the AL.

    What kind of person would pretend to be someone else? The ten year 2002 ALDS reunion was a blast.
  19. D. Hocking
    Funny how things can change in a month. When the Twins signed him it was a hopeful sign that things were going in the right direction and they the front office thought we could win now. The rubber band was strong and stretching in the right direction etc.

    I think someone might have left the cake out in the rain....
  21. D. Hocking
    I think a problem Morales has it that he might eat too much rally cake. He is not exactly streamlined for speed. I am kind of glad I am listening to this on the radio and did not have to see that.

    This one is a AL East crustacean. http://www.simmiecakes.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/05/shiny_crab.jpg

    I think I am now officially crabby.
  24. D. Hocking
    Never underestimate the ability of being able to find new depths and low levels on the game thread. Things can always go lower.
  25. D. Hocking
    I am not sure people on Twins Daily planning invasions is a good idea. I see it going very, very wrong.
