  1. Doc Holiday was from Georgia, Wyatt Earp from Illinois. Clyde Barrow was a heck of a criminal and gunslinger, but he fired a lot more than 6 bullets in a magazine
  2. I would've liked a little more swagger from Sano, but getting your booty handed to you in such convincing fashion will do that. after all, it is a game
  3. If you want to pimp your homer, go ahead and do so... I applaud you for it. but do so at your own risk. I'd love to see a pitcher plunk a bluejay in the back and then run around the infield with his "wings stretched"
  4. three words... Leadership....Dance...Parties
  5. if they are stretching out May or Graham they wouldn't be available unless it was their bullpen day that the scheduled starter crapped out early
  6. Saturday the 15th is when they need him to be stretched out. its possible, but my guess is spot start, Milone is due back on the 16th I believe
  7. then why not start Fryer? better catcher, same bat
  8. Hunter will be resigned... its just a matter of time
  9. only cuz Mauer has a longer contract. Just you wait, Hunter will be resigned in the offseason to a two year contract and we'll curse them both till 2017
  10. the ethnic jokes are what really puts the icing on the cake
  11. That was a poor call and a strange outcome to Mollitor's request
  12. TR upgraded the bullpen. It should be pretty easy to upgrade that pen since it is terrible... But the trade did what was intended, so in isolation I give it a pass. He acquired a replace level RP which is better than the current stiffs in the pen. TR overpaid for Jepsen, but that's what happens when you try to make a deal by the trade deadline because you feel like you have to. A similar pitcher can be traded for in August, cheaper. Where TR fails miserably is this bullpen has been a ticking time bomb all season, it should have been addressed last offseason. One RP is not enough, they need one or two more who are better than Jepsen. Better than replacement level is tough to do, but not impossible for RP in Aug. Also, the team really needed to improve at catcher, that will not happen in August.
  13. my poor child is doubly insulting. I took the first 2 weeks of her life off work. I didn't even have the chance of a supply chain managers equivalent of a home run.
  14. To continue: Shields would be the second best starter on this team, but for how long? Lots of Hughes Santana, Nolasco could all be dead weight in 2017 or 2018, adding a similar situation with Shields
  15. You sign a guy like James Shields to get the performance at the front of the contract and hope the performance at the back of the contract isn't too painful. Trading for James Shields means you give up assets for a smaller window until you hope he isn't a disaster. He might still be an asset this year and next, but I think the Twins would be better served looking for a Catcher or SS that has a longer horizon and a pile of relievers. C and SA are probably more expensive, but definitely worth it.
  16. please let it not be occuponymous... as i like their beer
  17. occuponymous people... like Mr Taylor made pants, or Mr Smith made horseshoes, so Mr Shoemaker throws baseballs?
  18. does someone who gets married, divorced, and married again in the same year only count once?
  19. I hope and pray every day that I can have that conversation with my toddler daughter some day. instead it'll probably be "I made a my little pony that looks like purple sparkle drops and pink lightning" and I'll respond "do you want to play MLB the show?" and she'll say "No, how about olympic figure skating?"
  20. Aria might have more value to another team who might actually play him in the big leagues. He'd be good in a RF/DH rotation or Rf platoon situation.
  21. the Twins traded away a 4th outfielder they signed earlier in the year away from the A's to get Milone. Why would the Twins get more than a Sam Fuld type back in return for Milone? The Twins already have three Sam Fuld type catchers in Suzuki, Fryer, and Hermann.
