  1. not disagreeing. just noting that a few days ago this could have been said: the twins are having fun, the yankees are not. that's baseball.
  2. remember that second game in puerto rico? that was awesome!
  3. the header (gibby the great) reminds me of the old leonard cohen story: it was 1984, leonard's career was in a lull and cbs wouldn't give u.s. release to his "various positions" album (the one with "hallelujah" and "dance me to the end of love"). so leonard went to the office of walter yetnikoff, the head of cbs records, to find out why. "we know you're great, leonard," yetnikoff said. "we just don't know if you're any good."
  4. it might be considered a small but not insignificant victory that the damn yankees developed jake cave between june of 2011 and march 2018.
  5. yuck? for sure. but it was less than a month ago that the twins took four of six from the red sox and indians combined. that's baseball.
  6. In Prince: Inside the Music and the Masks, Roninn Ro says that "Initially, [Prince's first] band was named Phoenix...after Grand Funk Railroad's 1972 album Phoenix"; in Prince: Purple Reign, Mick Wall notes that "Rock & Roll Soul," the single from Phoenix, "was a big favorite of Prince's."
  7. simile? or metaphor? (maybe "... depressing as a broken fan"?)
  8. all-time manager ejections, as of 2017 per wikipedia: 1 Bobby Cox 161 2 John McGraw 132 3 Earl Weaver 94 4 Leo Durocher 94 5 Tony La Russa 87 6 Paul Richards 80 7 Frankie Frisch 80 8 Ron Gardenhire 73 9 Jim Leyland 68 10 Joe Torre 66 11 Lou Piniella 63 12 Bruce Bochy 61 13 Clark Griffith 58 14 Bill Rigney 51 15 Charlie Manuel, Clint Hurdle 50
  9. maybe the twins can engineer a trade for oswaldo arcia — he’s got a .766 ops for the ham fighters.
  10. hmm. you make an interesting point. i'm old enough that i still think of the astros as an nl team ...
  11. what would scare me if i was an indians fan is that the twins lost 11 of 12 and are still only one game behind the defending american league champs.
  12. reminds me of an anecdote in bouton's ball four: it's one thing to carry a piano on your back but you don't have to stop to play it.
  13. the yankees winning 15 of 16 might also have a little to do with it ...
