    Well, just to quiet a little of the speculation, I will go on record and let people know that I, big dog, have withdrawn my name from consideration of the Twins' job. They agreed to respect my privacy and not release any information, but I think I owe it to people to let them know. It looks like a great job, but frankly, they don't allow dogs to have access to the clubhouse and I just can't support that kind of attitude. So I'm out. I do wish them well with their search however.

    100% agree, but if you have kids who are doing well in a good high school, moving them halfway across the country might not be the best plan for them.

    Tuesday 9/13 4 IP, 5 H, 4 ER, 2 BB, 3K, 2 HR.

    Well, he's not deluded about the problems, anyway. That's for sure.

    #18 because I've been a rabid Twins fan for nearly a half-century and I just can't go cold turkey. And trust me, this year I've tried.

    I saw him pitch at Beloit when he was with Cedar Rapids. We sat right in front of a couple of Beloit pitchers behind home plate, one charting pitches and one with the radar gun. They were really impressed with his stuff- they occasionally muttered "filthy" "nasty" etc after particularly good pitches. At one point, one of them said something like "94 slider- holy crap". He was phenomenal that game.

    Agreed, but the time to make a play is not when you are allowing the tying run to get into scoring position in the ninth inning, by trying to throw out a runner who really doesn't matter too much...

    Nice job Twins. Great job Buxton. Rosario- go sit down.
  9. big dog
    The next time Rosario makes a stupid throw home I yank him off the field. How many freaking extra bases has he given the opposition? &*#$& 4
  10. big dog
    So...he hits the Twins home run this half inning?
  11. big dog
    I say we send both runners. Let's light this carousel on fire.
  12. big dog
    His big "problem" is that when he gets a hit, he gets all four bases so he can't steal any. He's going to have to start bunting once in a while and then stealing second and third. I say he can do it. Hey, we only have five hits in the first. Why are we starting so slow?

    You know, Kendrys Morales was not a Twin long enough to get to torment us the way he does. He hasn't earned that right.
  14. big dog
    Looking forward to seeing his first chance in the field and his first AB. Go James!
  15. big dog
    Where did you read that they changed his approach before he even played rookie ball, as you state above?
  16. big dog
    The Twins had one good month this season. Plouffe spent in on the DL. Hi-ho Anecdote!

    Living near Chicago I was forced to listen to Hawk (and happy to listen to Steve Stone) over the weekend. They were raving about Buxton, and started Thursday in his first at-bat. They noticed the leg kick, they talked about the soft landing, and Hawk just went nuts about how much better he look, how much more confident his swings were, etc. On Sunday Stone gave Hawk huge credit for noticing within a couple of at-bats on Thursday (one a homer, one a pop-up) how much better his swing was, and how it had carried through for four games. You know it's a big deal, because if there's one thing Steve Stone hates, it's giving Ken Harrelson credit for anything good...anyway, those guys thought this was a big change, not just a little hot streak based on nothing. Fun to hear.

    Esco had one pitch to hit, and he lined it just foul. Unfortunately, he swung at some other ones as well.
  19. big dog
    Someone in my house thought the same thing.
  20. big dog
    Not too thrilled with how things have gone since about, oh, 9-5 Twins. At least they get to keep playing. You know, because I am a worthless addict and have nothing better to do on a beautiful Sunday afternoon.
  21. big dog
    Sure, you think you want to pitch to Polanco. But you are totally, totally, wrong.
  22. big dog
    ZUKE!!! Now let's HOPE 12 runs is enough to win this game, and that we are the team with 12.
  23. big dog
    Rosario has a better chance of being a cabdriver at age 30 than of successfully bunting.
  24. big dog
    Well, a Twins walk-off would just make this so much better than a boring old 1-2-3 save.
  25. big dog
    HEY- GET OFF MY LAWN!!! and quit spraying Gatorade where I can see it! You have to EARN the right to dump Gatorade on someone! ....naw, I don't get why it's such a problem. Especially when there are real problems, like homelessness.
