  1. OMG up to post 68 already! And a large portion based on something that looks like a large, green, exploding fart. http://a.espncdn.com/photo/2011/0217/pg2_a_stanford_tree_b1_200.jpg
  2. Twins Fans! http://www.cartoondistrict.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/05/most-famous-green-color-cartoon-characters.jpg
  3. "Bruce Banner is normally a mild mannered physicist, who happened to absorb massive amounts of gamma radiation. As a result… in moments of stress… he transforms into a large green thing with super human powers." So that the heck did Kermit eat to get those damn skinny legs? http://static.giantbomb.com/uploads/original/1/19745/685899-kermit_the_frog.jpg
  4. In the next Pappy O'Daniel administration, these boy's are gonna be my brain trust! http://www.movieactors.com/freeze-frames/oBROTHER/obrother227.jpeg
  5. Day 1 of the Interim GM job for Rob Antony. Strib interview with Antony: http://www.startribune.com/interim-gm-rob-antony-ponders-future-fixes-for-twins/387547541/ It's about what you'd expect from a guy with >1 day on the job. For fun, I tried to locate a list of potential outside GM candidates. Here's one from 2014, and at least one in now a GM: http://www.baseballprospectus.com/article.php?articleid=23978 And another from a couple days ago, with some good selling points: http://www.cbssports.com/mlb/news/despite-poor-2016-the-twins-gm-is-a-desirable-job-and-here-are-some-candidates/ I'm not in a speculative mood, but based on how things have been run in the past, I'd probably take a hard look at outside candidates. Change can be good.
  6. Salary dump? To what end? I mean, if you do that, you'll be depending on almost strictly minor leaguers. Is the fan-base really prepared for something like that?
  7. I think Terry Ryan's true calling was as a director of the farm system. From what I've read, that's what he enjoyed the most. Moving forward: While not entirely ruling out in-house candidates, I'd go outside and get a reboot. Get that unknown person who has worked under a GM that has built a team and not under successful GM's who have a big budget to spend on players. In other words: Hire a Talent Scout. On the other hand, from the time Carl bought the Twins to now, the value of the Twins has risen by something like 95%. There's money that can could be spent. I don't expect a banker son of a banker to allow large spending, but a nice Ace-type pitcher would make a big difference to this team. Sabermetrics: Don't waste time waiting for a new GM to be hired. Increase Goin's team budget now.
  8. Hey, give Antony a good nights sleep. Now, tomorrow.......
  9. Buck Moon: Buck's grow new antlers this time of year. Nobody on the broadcast team know what Google is?
  10. http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_1DcuTtFMS7M/TFtjiubS3UI/AAAAAAAAC34/HyIQIsWEocI/s1600/snoopy_thankyou_big.jpg AND gets all 3 righthanded hitters out !!
  11. My mother was tickled when we got a cat.
  12. Boyd has already thrown 100+ pitches. Nolasco 88. http://static4.fjcdn.com/comments/Ohstopyou+re+killing+meit+s+too+funny+_d2640c529714995070438018bb63536b.jpg
  13. 3 innings, 66 pitches. Need help: Homer Hanky's !! http://www.staradvertiser.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/11/20140417_dome_sweet_dome_twins_55975.jpg
  14. Hindsight Warning: Sano probably should have tag the guy going to 3rd.....
  15. 1 out in the 3rd inning and Nolasco is already at 55 pitches. Ouch.
