  1. Somehow, I feel like this team is more comfortable challenging from the outside. Let the Angels get ahead and maybe they will react and get back to winning ways.
  2. Big difference. Eddie is a threat on the bases and a good (if sometimes inconsistent) outfielder. Delmon was a DH trying to play in the outfield. I get it that he it sometimes frustrating at the plate, but he is so much more patient and has so much better judgment at the plate than he did 3 months ago. There is a lot of room for growth there. Just get a great lineup so that he can bat 6 or 7 and we think of all of his hits as bonuses instead of cleanup hitter failures.
  3. It seems like every time the Twins come to Tampa, the local players Rays their game.
  4. Maybe if they changed the name to the Minnesota Hurricane they could hit, too!
  5. Do you really think Sano is coming back this year? I'm getting more doubtful by the day.
  6. Tampa Rayses sing this song, Duda, Duda?
  7. Was anyone else fully expecting Buxton to catch that drive to center?
  8. Buxton missed that ball by a foot at the beginning of the season.
  9. Looks like 440'. Navin Field, later to become Tiger Stadium.
  10. Whew! 13-0 seemed just too unlucky!
  11. There are now 7 Twins with double figures in homeruns, and 3 with 20+. (And Vargas seems likely to get one more to make 8 in doubles.)
  12. Are the Royals wearing white socks tonight? Polanco is acting like they are.
  13. An inch would have been enough this week!
  14. So I guess that's a "double triple"?
  15. I'm really struggling to comprehend your hyperbole here...
  16. Sounds like a partial excuse to me.
  17. I'll try, but school started this week and it's hard to commit a lot of time in advance. If I can find a day that I'm confident will work and that is open, I'm up for doing another one.
  18. I agree, but good heavens they're not as bad as the Star Wars night duds (in both senses of the word) that they wore this year!
  19. The broadcasters commented on this. I wonder if Stew Thornley has any insight on the question.
  20. When Bartolo is taken out, does that count as "pulled pork"?
  21. It looked to me like Buxton jumped too early on that fly at the wall. It seemed like the ball hit the wall below where his glove was. Did it look like that to you?
  22. Back to Little League, I see. Between Polanco's 3rd strike and Shields's throw. Oof-dah. EDIT: And ball one to Buxton.
  23. I have the same reaction. I went to a lot of Portland Beavers games in those days and remember Brito launching balls over the "blue monster" at Civic Stadium and into the street behind the left-field stands. But I don't remember Russo at all. That was the last year of the Beavers in Portland and attendance (never good) was pathetic. There were often about 100 people in the stands, a good share of them scouts planted behind home plate with their radar guns. You could actually hear whatever any fan shouted at the players, which was sometimes amusing and occasionally embarrassing. I might have attended fewer games that year as we knew that the lame-duck team was moving to Utah the next season.
