  1. Though I was opposed to the Ervin Santana signing and wasn't thrilled with his suspension, at this point I would like to see him stick around. It seems like I saw Berrios and Santana sitting in the dugout together a lot. Perhaps discussing pitching or just making it in MLB, though it's hard to know for sure. Isn't this the sort of mentorship or veteran leadership the Twins claim to value so much? So, I would keep Santana, and also Dozier. Dozier is struggling but my gut says keep him. All the other so called veterans can be released for a song and the team would be immediately improved, regardless of return. Like others say, we might need to throw in a prospect.
  2. I understand your thinking, but sending Sano to AAA is the wrong answer in my book. I would say Sano is extremely driven but is in a hopeless situation. Out of the blue, he was told in the offseason he would be playing a different position. Why should Sano give up a chunk of his offseason to learn outfield when in the past, guys were just sent to the outfield after shagging some fly balls? (Bartlett, Escobar, Collabello, etc etc) Also, Bruno does not seem to be a good communicator with the Spanish speaking guys. Hasty demotions of young guys like Berrios and Polanco. Then there are the players of the most seniority getting the most preferential treatment (that's how I see it, anyway). Anyway, it's just a bad atmosphere and to imply that Sano is somehow to blame by demoting him would be a huge, huge mistake.
  3. SPOILER ALERT: The audience was on a stage, which the magician rotates ever-so-slowly that the audience doesn't notice. Then, facing away from the statue of liberty, open the curtain. It's a great party trick.
  4. For any more Mitch Hedberg jokes tonight, please call: 1-800-I-REALLY-ENJOY-CARPETING Hello? I only dialed up to 'enjoy', how did you know I was calling? I can see why they hired you.
  5. Well,.... different strokes, for different folks
  6. Hey, how did that deer hunter wander in there?
  7. You mean like this one? http://1.media.dorkly.cvcdn.com/94/73/f266bd1059c8da40e628d375a7a2a705.gif
  8. "All of them had hair of gold like their mother the youngest one in curls" do I have that right?
  9. All this Robbie Grossman All Star talk is going to look foolish when Danny Santana is named as an All Star pinch runner.
  10. Actually an athletic play of Santana to turn his glove down at the last moment to keep it from skipping past him (or bouncing awkwardly)
  11. Yeah, I'm sorry I ever tried to get that dumb rain-delay game started!
  12. If they are only now slamming the team, they are quite a bit behind the internet community The unfortunate thing for the Twins broadcasters is they can't really ease into the "constructive criticism" phase. They're kind of stuck singing the praises and reporting on the day's news, instead of questioning bigger picture things.
  13. quick, let's try to think up the collective noun for a group of platypuses (platipie?) I will go with "a beak of platypuses"
  14. as should the 14,304th post, not that anyone would ever get that high
  15. LOL and I was thinking of changing my position back the other way, too.
  16. Not really good enough to be a starter, but not bad enough to take out of the rotation now that he's starting.
  17. For out-of-towners not looking at Dopplers: My non-existent weather forecasting powers tell me this will be a really quick shower and the game will be back on in 30 minutes. (And might get interrupted again later on)
