  1. This has been mentioned before, but it really does seem like the new FO is cycling through the pitchers, trying to find out what they have and are quick to DFA, which clears space on the 40 man. There's been a lot written about how the 40 man has been mismanaged the last few years. With pitching being in short supply, the FO cannot afford to get rid of people without at least giving them a shot to see if there's anything that might work out. It is going to be brutal to watch, because of the human factor but business is business and the business of the FO is trying to straighten out the mess that is the Twins farm system so it produces players the MLB club needs. Along with the FO trying to find out what holes they are going to have to fill in the off-season. Then, the FO also has to contend with a contending team. A team that is defying all reasonable expectations. So, the FO has to try and set the current team up to win, without really have any resources they're sure of, clean up the 40 man and set the farm system up for success. Anyone else want the job? I think I'd rather clean out the Augean stables.
  2. I could see that fake straight face even through the internet.
  3. My only attempts to play little league resulted in my getting hit by a ball, twice. Once while I was batting I took one to the side of the face and the other time I took a foul ball off the top of my head while sitting behind the backstop. Not only did the ball hit me on top of the head, but it landed right on the little button on top of the cap. That pretty much ended any thoughts of playing baseball for me.
  4. Yes, very possibly but I can't really wind him up unless he knows in advance I'm a Twins fan.
  5. Picture my buddy just sent from the stadium:
  6. I just asked a guy I know, who is at the game and is a Giants fan, if he got a picture of the Dozier home run. He promised me pictures and yes, I've been giving him a hard time via text.
  7. Disagree. All ballparks have their own set of ground rules. I don't see any difference between the NL having their own ground rules (no DH) and the AL having their own ground rules. And I especially like it when the AL beat the NL at their own game.
  8. Outstanding effort by Mr. Santana. Hopefully, I'll be home in time to watch Berrios. IDPA tomorrow. I've not been for a while and feel the need for shooting holes in cardboard while on the clock.
  9. Not a shutout but this was pretty unforgettable: May 20, 2005: Carlos Silva threw 74 pitches in the Twins' 7-1 victory over the Brewers.
  10. Actually, I kind of hope he's going to a Giants game. Then,if the Twins win, I can ask him how much he enjoyed watching a real baseball team.
  11. I like the way San Francisco keeps replacing their runners at First.
  12. And the above furthers my mission: LaBombo for Color Commentary! I think you should take Bremer's spot opposite Torii.
  13. Santana seems to be on a mission. By the way, I think a guy I work with is going to the Giants game tomorrow. Hopefully, Berrios is on form and throwing his patented whiffle curve.
  14. I think you should be in consideration for Twins guest Color Commentary. "Trashnado" indeed.
  15. If you're shivering, you probably have the A/C to high.
  16. "The Sano With No Name" "The SanoName"
  17. I once did some work at a good size marketing firm in Minneapolis (don't remember the name) and, from what I remember, it's all too possible.
  18. My wife hates briefs. Especially the ones with attached exhibits.
  19. How about strawberries and whip cream on the waffles? Sounds a bit healthy to me, what with the fresh fruit and all.
