I'd stick with the "Whine Line" and "Hawt Taeks." I think the "Whine Line" does a better job of disseminating information than that article from SI.* *Hopefully, the host of "The Whine Line" is not insulted by the comparison.
Yeah, I have to agree with you. It has seemed to me that Mr. Mauer has not adjusted his approach as pitchers adjust to him. It looks to me like opposing pitchers are taking advantage of the free strike they are given.
I'm to the point I'll be happy if everyone makes the plays their supposed to and once in a while turning in a defensive gem. I guess I'm saying steady over flashy.
Actually, I've been saying 71 wins since threads started going up regarding win predictions and I'm too stubborn to change. Some would call curmudgeonly even.
Get home, turn on MLB.tv, Twins are up, pull up the box score, first inning, look to see how Baltimore scored and who's pitching, then we'll go to the 5 run inning and see how that happened.
Interestingly enough, from what I understand, Hetfield and Lars Ulrich are very much into music theory. Their vehicle just turned out to be metal. Anyway, I thought it was great that Ulrich and Hetfield were more than willing to appear with Apocalyptica and thought it was cool.
What's funny, is that I was pointed back to this kind of Rock and Roll when the last show of "Breaking Bad" played Badfinger's "Baby Blue." I'd forgotten just how good that stuff was along with how much talent there was back then. I enjoyed some of the hair bands and the heavy metal of the nineties but after that? I though music took a huge step backward when Rap became ascendant. Yes, I know the younger crowd likes rap but, I just don't get it. Well, unless it's this:
Coffee. With a shot of Baileys. After that, more coffee, sans Baileys. Back in the day, I was Guinness with a side of Jameson kind of guy. That day is long past, though.
