  1. I'm saying I didn't do my part, anyway. My bad. Hey look! The Indians have a utility infielder playing center! And he just managed to make up for a terrible break on a ball by getting there anyway. Let's keep trying him.
  2. I watched about 3 innings of the Tampa series. Clearly my absence was a huge problem for the Twins so I'll be watching tonight. Sorry about that.
  3. No kidding, I can't wait to see him in the majors. When I (rarely) see someone throw that hard it just makes me laugh to think about hitting it. Any day now is fine with me.
  4. If you're taking bets, I'm in on the "under".
  5. OK, whoever bought the square that said "Correia- RBI double", step up and claim your prize. What, no one?
  6. It was raining really hard early. We didn't get as much as the city did, though, or at least we don't have as much flooding.
  7. I was thinking about the same thing, but the umps agree with us!
  8. Oh my gosh what a play by Dozier. That was just incredible anticipation.
  9. I feel like he deserved a shot at the majors, he got it, and he's done ok. Not a building block, but a useful part as long as he has options. If he were 25 I'd feel like he had more of a chance to get better, but at this point he is who he is, and I think Ryan is using him well. Getting Pavano for him a few years ago has to be considered a very good trade for the Twins.
  10. The White Sox didn't care for AJ, but they knew he helped them so they put up with it. There was one interview when a Sox pitcher retaliated when someone hit a Sox player, and the player said that it was great to be on a team where pitchers stood up for a teammate (I think it was Konerko being interviewed). The reporter asked why no one got breezed when AJ got hit, and the player kind of smiled and didn't say anything.
  11. I've been happy with Esco in the field. But I'd like to see Santana play short for a while when he comes back. I think the Esco-coach is starting to turn into a pumpkin, at least when it's at the plate. I haven't given up on him, but it would be nice if he shook this slump off.
  12. 6) Santana's been a very nice surprise in his time up here, or at least he's surprised me; I don't know if he'll avoid another trip to the minors this year, but he looks like he's for real.
  13. Vargas is also back in PR waiting for his wife to deliver a child, so it would be a mixed blessing for him to be called up now. He would have been my choice, had the team actually asked me. Maybe they didn't find out my new phone number.
  14. Happy for Worley but I have to say he sounds like a head case. He has no responsibility for working on his own problems while a Twin? Oh, wait, it was the wind. I'm not a fan of Anderson by any means, but I'm not buying any stock in Worley yet.
  15. That's true. You only said that in practice, bad signings do in fact etc, and based that on your one example. So you called it a fact. But apparently not a certain one. Whatever.
  16. I'm not sure how optimistic I am. Today, not very much. But I don't think that something is certain to be true just because of some hypothetical poll of TD posters.
  17. I'm puzzled by this. Who are the "most people"? Has Ryan said this? If you are referring to TD posters, I'm underwhelmed by your statement, but if Ryan/Anthony/Gardy say this it's important.
  18. I just want him to be consistent so the team can make a decision on him. Who is he, really? Do we keep him or not? I have no idea. I'd rather have him succeed, but right now he's just teasing us. I have no idea what to expect. That's not good enough, at least not for a team with any aspirations.
  19. When you are playing against the Yankees and the home plate umpire, and you know Joe West is lurking and probably pays a bounty when players get tossed, you need to take a win any way you can grab it. Twins Win!!!!
  20. Solarte optioned to AAA by the Yankees. Maybe he'll get another chance later in the season.
  21. ooh I got this one- DRINK!
  22. OK I still like the second inning better than the first, but...
  23. Holy crap, it didn't take long to get back into this game.
