    And 10,000 Tigers fans just thought "I wish we had sold high on Sanchez." And the rest of them thought "We couldn't afford Scherzer but we got Zimmerman???"

    In the Lunch Lady spirit of Chris Farley "You remember that time when Old Goat called the Kepler home run?" "That was awesome."

    Betting Mauer walks here Unless he tries to bunt the first pitch WTF? Wow. Mauer offered at 2 out of 3 pitches. Really?
  4. big dog
    You'll never find a ruby in a mountain of rocks and there ain't no Coupe De Ville hiding in the bottom of a Cracker Jack box. Sheer poetry. Unlike Zimmerman's command of the strike zone.

    This year's version of Phil Hughes, whatever I might think right now, is a lot better than what I expected four weeks ago.

    I'm watching the Detroit broadcast. Comedy of baserunning mistakes. Sano had a lead, ball in the dirt. Sano starts back to first, then notices the ball is rolling away behind the catcher. Basically takes two steps in place, then runs to second. Gets to second slightly ahead of a high throw slides under it. Big sweep tag that ends up with the fielder holding the glove over his head, apparently yelling "Ole". Sano overslides the bag by, oh, a couple of feet, then tries to slide backwards. Fielder tries to tag him, then apparently hits is foot just before the foot finally makes contact again with the bag. Not a pretty play.

    Why did the elephant paint his toenails red? So he can hide in the cherry tree.
  8. big dog
    um....yeah that's what I meant...or something.
  9. big dog
    Or they would have had the shortstop cover second, since Kepler is left-handed. I think it would have been a double play even if he'd been running. Darn Sano, hitting the ball too hard.
  10. big dog
    Dozier go Boom! Let's hit this guy harder.

    I apologize for not announcing that April 1 was Cheap Trick Day here in Illinois, one of the few recent acts of the General Assembly that actually became law. Anyway, at least it's still Cheap Trick Week! Anyone here whose mother served with the WACs in the Philippines? Just wondering.

    Nah, it's the pizza oven/mold Domino's uses to turn out a "deep dish" pizza in 8 minutes. Otherwise known as French Bread with Ketchup.
  13. big dog
    I forgot to use the "tongue in cheek" icon there. But I do confess to having tried Sbarro a couple of times out of desperation. Turns out being desperate isn't enough to make it taste like pizza.

    I really like the NY style pizza I got from a takeaway place near Times Square, but somehow when I buy it in a mall in the Midwest it isn't the same. Must be the oven. Or something. Maybe the servers here are too friendly.

    If you try Chicago deep-dish pizza from 10 places you will get about 8 different versions. Saying it isn't good just means you aren't trying. Lou Malnati's is phenomenal, as long as you get it baked in the restaurant (especially the one on the North Side). The take-and-bake is a pale shadow. Geno's East never disappoints me, probably my all-around favorite. You can get a sausage patty that covers most of the crust. Some really like Pizzeria Uno, but it doesn't work for me. I grew up and went to college in Minnesota (and love Carbone's) so you won't get me dogging the really thin pizza in square pieces. My most recent favorite pizza place here, where I live north of Chicago, is that style, and it's phenomenal. But oh man, the right deep dish is a special thing. And RB, your Chicago-style hot dog has to have both a dill pickle and sweet relish or it just ain't happening.

    His father, obviously.
  17. big dog
    If your "utility/speed" player can't even bunt...done. Move Buxton to 8 or 9 and move Santana to waivers. I'd make both those moves after the game.
  18. big dog
    Great, now I just spit half-chewed cereal all over my keyboard...totally worth it, though. That was absolutely spectacular.
  19. big dog
    Yeah, that was the point where that whole inning collapsed. Wait, we scored 6??? What?
  20. big dog
    OK, so Sano has successfully - handled a grounder and throw to first - gone back on a popup - come in on a popup - flattened a baseball Gotta say...I'm feeling a little giddy right now.
  21. big dog
    I wonder how Falvey feels about DanSan...
  22. big dog
    Yeah, being overweight is not something that is supposed to be a topic at the end of March. If they don't come to camp in shape, they ought to be getting there quickly. Shape is relative, and as has been noted two million times, he's a big guy with a big frame, but that only goes so far. It's great that he jokes around with fans, don't know why people would be concerned about that.
  23. big dog
    Alex Meyer has thrown 7.2 innings this spring. 7 hits, 7 BBs, 5 K's. Are we still claiming he is SP depth, even for the Twins? I don't care about Santiago one way or another, but I'll bet he's going to help the Twins more than Meyer helps the Angels. Let's just get over the end of the Meyer Era.
  24. big dog
    I really like having Ervin Santana around for all the younger pitchers, including Gibson, to use as a role model. I don't see any reason to keep DanSan around and hope Molly eventually comes to my way of thinking.
  25. big dog
    So when you chose the name Gagne Fan you were meaning Verne rather than Greg, right?
