  1. We are winners yet again. This is getting old. Not.
  2. Doggone, where is Chitown when we need her to say: GET! HIM! OUT!
  3. Gibby, Glunn -- practically the same. Sorry, guys.
  4. Makes sense. Every hit he's given up has been a frozen rope.
  5. According to Glunn's new baseball language, Reyes is out like "2 pallets of limestone."
  6. I'm calling it: Eddie R. HR right ... now. EDIT: "Get Smart" voice: Missed it by that much.
  7. Like chicken soup when you have a cold, it can't hurt. EDIT: Except just like that, it's not 4-1 anymore, is it?
  8. Uh, it may not be false at this stage.
  9. Is this new baseball lingo? Sounds a little like Hutterite. Translation: Dozier gets his uniform dirty diving for a Donaldson line drive ("My dirt is here"), and whips the ball to first to double off the hustling Reyes ("move 2 pallets of limestone").
  10. Need the Rally Rhino or Rally Roger to make an appearance. Stat!
  11. Huron is fine as always, just need another splash of rain and some degree days and it'll all be good. Thanks for asking! Hope heaven -- uh, Iowa -- is doing well, too.
  12. Corky is what my family calls me. Meanwhile, what just happened is not good.
  13. The kids these days just want to be fair.
  14. Just started to type that Gibson "wants to give them the heat and announce his presence with authority!" when I see on the ESPN tracker that the Jaybirds just homered. Never mind.
  15. Love the gal on MLB Quick Pitch who always pronounces Herrmann (goes with Munster) "Her-MAWN," like he's some hoity-toity French general.
  16. Even the Wallendas are sweating watching him.
  17. And TD's Gibby makes a tasty veal to boot.
  18. Quit beating around the bush and tell us what you really think. EDIT: Oops! Now I see Platoon got to this first. Circus Boy? He gone.
  19. Fell asleep on the couch in the 7th inning, so missed all the fireworks of the last two innings. (Exhausted, too, from having to learn the lyrics to "Good, Bad and Ugly.") Great to read everyone's comments. Yes, it does seem unbelievable. Now, sweep these overpaid East Coast nancy boys. Go Twins!
  20. Plouffe hit a three-run HR.
  21. The enduring memory of the season so far was pitching coach Neil Allen razzing J.R. Graham after Graham tossed three innings of shutout ball versus the Pirates in extras last week. Everyone in the dugout was laughing and feeling great, and Mauer's homer was yet to come. Allen's got the pitchers trending toward the top of their game. And Molitor has been a breath of fresh air, as well. (And I loved Anderson and Gardie. But the players weren't listening anymore.) I like all the comments above. I would take it one step further, that this team reminds me more of the 1987 and 1991 teams. The '87 team started out 5-1 and was 20-23 before catching fire. The '91 team -- last the year before -- started 2-9 and was still 20-24 before its 15-game winning streak. I get the sense with this season's team that something's building, that every pitcher has the potential to be a stopper, that every batter can be the hero any night. Good coaching, maturing players = more wins.
