We would also have accepted "drawn a wild pitch" -
Really?! That's almost as crazy as Oregon, Oklahoma, and Ohio fighting over "OSU" Sigh...
-
if its over -- why ya watching > So weird that was more or less what i did... (more/less because i shifted to driving and so had the radio on)
-
Sorry i got distracted after Kearshall's safe call got over turned. What i miss?
-
I'd rather use it as an excuse to put garlic on all the concessions.
-
But we're still playing down. Let's fix that.
-
It may go without saying, but i don't like the k.k.k.
-
And $2 no less....
-
It's 4:20?
-
Did they win?

I've done worse... a Washington Chapel tour guide told me to "get out"*after hearing my rationalization of the dollar toll (it has since been raised) to go from NJ-PA. * i waited until i was leaving anyway to offer the observation, He also added a subsequent about comment it being vile, but the best kind of vile, as it were.

If only they'd been cousins a little longer...

My mistake. That would be a Samuel Adams. I got caught up in presidents... (and for some reason thought there was some connection between Sam and John)
-
So can you buy a John Adams with a Thomas Jefferson?
-
That would explain why they saved on a roof for target field...

It's just an old children's book i read as a kid, I suppose i could have also selected any number of Theodor Geisel publications, or also Mike mulligan's steam shovel, "are you my mother?", or if slightly older demographic, Frank Baum or the Mother Westwind series. But the ball seemed to fit with baseball, if not explicitly, and when joined TD and selected the avatar, i had relatively recently taken up playing tuba. So it seemed an appropriate if obscure reference. (and in some fashion, obscurity is a bonus) but it did seem doubly appropriate during the era where we wrote game thread intros, and i tried to pick up the slack, and it so happened that i was in a parade that day, and hurriedly typing something up while waiting for step off. Thanks for asking.

I hope we win. At least a few times more than the handful of teams near us in the standings.

Alex Jackson DFA Thursday evening
sampleSizeOfOne replied to ashbury's topic in Minnesota Twins Talk
Thanks for the clarification, and please forgive me for being pedantic in pointing out that, last i checked, 1 was a positive number. But these are all percentiles, right? It just means Caratini is the worst overall in the league. But it doesn't say how much worse he is. And it is probably statistics, so from his normal set, but on a pitch-out for instance, he can be faster. (and forgive the slow response... i typed it up and then got distracted) -
The idea had traction with me (what better way to get the bats going) until someone mentioned twilight. What's next, Mighty Morphine Power Rangers?

sampleSizeOfOne replied to ashbury's topic in Minnesota Twins Talk
I clearly don't understand the term...Does that mean they get the ball to second before it gets to the plate? -
I know we had Mauer come up, but i kinda wish AJ coulda been kept around.... I was really sad to hear how hard he took the trade. And as an announcer he had one of those profound responses where his co-broadcaster asked how he noticed some subtle nuance of the players, and he responded "well, i pay attention"

Protip: Skis. PS Poles have their advocates too... just mind the fate of Glen in Raising Arizona. Oh right. That was the point of your original post. Nevermind.

Yup. I'm a fan of Minnesota. It is a fine state which has a representative professional baseball team. Does it gather a disproportionate of my attention than other activities? Yeah, most of the time. Am i outspoken on the subject? Pretty much only on this forum. Do i spend money to indulge or express my fandom? Again, very rarely and most of it is on this site. So i am not sure what would make me a good fan in Mr. Donaldson's estimation. But i do a finely cultivated apathy. And will invoke it regarding Mr. Donaldson's opinion. I hope he's happy being right in this one instance. I'd even go one step further (and could be speaking for others besides myself, i don't know) to say i am not sure i care if i care.

Should i be concerned that people's eyes were closed?
-
And sorry i missed most of the loss.. Shakes happen.
