  1. Now i am wondering what proverbs pertain to long relievers...
  2. It seemed like an oddly specific circumstance. Didn't know if anyone else noticed. I don't suppose Ober threw a wild pitch that didn't mean anything with no runners aboard, did he?
  3. Hey, we came back and tied it, i see. No Manfred men in this early in the spring?
  4. What i miss? From the box score, Ober is the only twin with a 4 letter surname without an error...
  5. Escape velocity achieved? Or just low earth orbit?
  6. Optimism. Optimize me!
  7. Is he unavailable? I haven't been paying attention. And isn't he a member of la bomba squad (direct article added to empasize the singularity of the noun*) *okay, i admit it. also to evoke the the song...
  8. I take it as perhaps the best sign available? With flexibility to fit multiple places? And sufficiently mature he'll be competitive off the bench? And if they 60manned both the players we speculate they would, we got one place to make waiver claims. Anyway, we'll see how it plays out soon enough.
  9. Realistic expectations? Twins will find a place for him to work through things, either towards his old stuff, or reinventing a repoitoir if he can't do quite what he wa doing. Given that, he won't be added back to the 40 until they are ready to use him, and pretty sure he can have success. Personally, i think he'll be worth having by the end of the summer, even if he is still not 40 manned, but getting to be an elder statesman in the minors, much like Albers. And yeah, i wouldn't count him out. He still has unfinished business against the Yankees in the playoffs...
  10. I peg Duran as more of a Fezzig type. "I don't have to miss... No tricks, no weapons, just skill against skill. Sportsmanlike." (It's not my fault being the biggest and the strongest. I don't even exercise.)
  11. I think you're onto something. Didn't Ben-Hur ask to switch sides of the boat so he didn't develop asymmetrically? Perhaps pitchers would get injured less frequently as well. But i am not too concerned. Not enough here to indicate what his offseason regiment has been, not how often he threw 102 today. One max effort throw to see where you're at after working on form in reps, so you don't get set in the slower speed is much more reasonable than 2 hours of hurling 102 non-stop. And an at bat is kinda the next logical unit to put in context.
  12. And one aspect this article doesn't address... What does a sluggish reporter mean to the upcoming season? I am positing his breaking news rate will actually increase by 2,5 stories anove replacement, as he gets himself into awkward situations, and Minnesota Nice will come into play amongst team and management alike...
  13. Or possibly the thrive off of Fargo's booming tourist industry? I've always wanted to see one of the tallest manmade structures in the world.. I don't suppose we're allowed to climb on it, though.
  14. A vastly under rated word! I approve. And for whatever reason, i here the word in the voice of Heckle and/or Jeckle, so i can assume the approve too. Not that anyone approves of Heckle and Jeckle... Yes, quite.
  15. I don't know... I presume there is someone out there who likes big macs so much, he might already be in heaven if he got to eat one every day... Is this heaven? No it's McDonalds. Would you like fries with that?
  16. Whatever happened to Ponderosa?
  17. I have confidence in Mr. Fraley. A writer's only beat if he thinks he is.
  18. Weren't we talking about Jeopardy? What is questiong all those answers about meteors, Alex? (wait isn't it someone new since i last paid attention?)
  19. I too am rooting for him to land on his feet somewhere, and have no objection if turns out to be here, although if it is in the minors, i'll understand.
  20. Wait... Is it hammer time already? Or should i stop? (hoping for an answer of yes on 1. no on 2)
  21. It is important to keep your satires properly inflated, especially in cold weather.
  22. Pretty sure he's not evil... I'm rooting for him, for sure. And i think he can make it back. Andrew Albers did something, Dobnak can too. But i'm not expecting him to make it 1-18 all by himself. (and while i cherry picked the tidbit what provoke me to respond, thanks for larger context of that situation. Personel decisions are always complicated, but i appreciate this perspective.
