    Wow, then Bux scores on what was practically an infield popup. I live in Chicago and am forced to watch on TV. Hawk and Stone are drooling over Buxton.
  2. big dog
    Not to complain, but how did Buxton not score on a deep single to right center? I expected him to cross the plate about two feet behind Suzuki.

    Here's the telecast: {Crack}...crowd roars...silence..."dadgummit"...sound of shuffling papers, door closing. Fade to commercial.

    I'm having a hard time working through my picks for September adds. The whole idea that we are actually trying to make the playoffs is throwing me off. What a nice change.

    I know there's a lot of muttering about Bowden as a AAAA pitcher, but I wonder if he'd be a good fit as a reliever. Seems to be a real arm there. Oswaldo was 0-3, but at least he didn't strike out. Let's imagine he hit 3 hard line drives. Average is now at .202.

    A lot of those players were picked up in trades when they were in the minors. I think we only drafted four or five of the position players and starters. We've been able to acquire some good young players over the years. Florimon's RBI the other night was his first as a Pirate. He's 2 for 19, 2 BBs, 10 K's. The Pirates might be able to turn him into a good starting pitcher, though, given their track record.

    I liked the Santana signing, but now I'm thinking he helped the team the most by getting suspended.

    And the washing machines have a 6-year waiting list.
  9. big dog
    Good interviews, thanks. Good luck to both!

    I couldn't even watch the last NY game. Completely swore off the Twins. That lasted about 40 hours. Now I'm back. Now I'm posting during work again. I'll probably break into a house to steal something I can pawn so I can buy a Sano jersey before long. As I told my wife last week, for about the 500th time, it's just stupid how much of my life outlook depends on that most recent Twins score. "Hi, my name's Jeff, and I'm a twinsoholic." (crowd:) <Hi, Jeff>...

    Well, Eddie taketh away, but there he giveth. What a miserable fail of a half-inning. Very smart of Nunez to throw to first there, but of course once he dropped the sure thing grounder, what's the difference. Lots of fight from the Twins tonight. Not using Duensing...not having a bus full of guys thrown out on the bases...different story.

    Ellsbury's on. So I say, no matter what, I don't care, you walk McCann.

    No worse than Molitor's is going to be if he keeps making these decisions.
  14. big dog
    So I think that actually, your yard is humming with hummingbirds, and infested with bad music?
  15. big dog
    Sometimes I think Molitor is a complete idiot. I just have to say that. He loves the aggressiveness. Argh.
  16. big dog
    OK, for those of you that read the first page of this topic: this game is EXACTLY like the North Stars-Bruins game from Feb 1981. The Twins just keep fighting.
  17. big dog
    Wow, Sano's line drive almost gave the 3rd base ump a shot at a knee replacement. Let's go Trevor <clap, clap, clap clap clap>
  18. big dog
    What kind of songs would such an organ play? I go with sugary sweet love songs.
  19. big dog
    Plouffe!
  20. big dog
    Gibson and how many other guys? or was someone just smoking bud, bud?
  21. big dog
    Gibson looks like if he continues to develop, he might become Ricky Nolasco.
  22. big dog
    Time to get McCann out. Right. Freaking. Now. -- well, that worked out just not at all.
  23. big dog
    Well, that's a pretty good 90 seconds for Rosario. Guns the guy down (eventually), then makes what looks like an outstanding sliding catch. and the umpires say...OUT! good call
  24. big dog
    Anyone notice Gibson pitching inside? Not me. Bremer described that as "up and in". It was actually a strike, which for the Twins qualifies as pitching inside.
  25. big dog
    I say we make a statement the same way the North Stars did against the Bruins in 1981. After getting dominated (and beaten) for years, when the Bruins sent Steve Kasper out to intimidate Bobby Smith, he started pushing back (for a change). After losing that game, they won the war- the Stars wiped the Bruins out in the playoffs. It's baseball, not hockey, but could we maybe throw a couple pitches that were actually a little bit off the plate inside? Please? Maybe a clean, hard, late slide, as suggested? That might help. Something has to change.
