    Mrs Chief quit her job at the helium factory today, and I can't blame her. She got into it with her boss, and the guy was a real ****, and Mrs Chief just couldn't take it any more. Nobody should have to take being spoken to in that tone of voice.

    "...just add a little here, a little there...say, 20 years and 100 pounds..."

    My bad. I can't tell the difference.
  4. USAFChief
    watch it with the math, bub.

    Man, I keep getting these unwanted emails from some random company offering to sell me tinned meat. Bloody spam.
  6. USAFChief
    yeah, I didn't see anything either, and I'm a fan of players policing the game through on field discipline.

    What did Gallo do again?
  8. USAFChief
    That's twice tonight Mauer should have been rung up and it ended up costing the Rangers

    And speaking of sluggish, how 'bout this game thread?? thanks, thanks everyone. I'll be here all week. Try the chicken.

    Fun fact: In my spare time, I like to race snails. I know, I know...snails, right?? But it's actually kind of fun, and believe it or not there's money in it. My favorite snail has been in a slump though, so I thought maybe he'd be a bit faster if I removed his shell. But all it did was make him sluggish.

    Polanco (and Buxton last inning) takes a 2-0 fastball. Predictable pitch, and both right down the middle. That, IMO, is almost always a bad mistake by a hitter. Punish that pitch.

    Big story here on the local new today. A convicted killer also confessed to once being hired to murder a cow in a rice field using only small porcelain figurines. Police are convinced it's the first known case of a knick knack paddy whack.

    Man, I've been trying to lose some weight, but every time I walk by the fridge I grab something and make a sandwich. I'm just gonna have to quit cold turkey, I guess.

    Weird...the F1 key on my laptop isn't working. Maybe I can get some help.

    I really don't understand the purpose of giving starts to Colon. I did, kind of, but when you trade away two pitchers, from a pitching starved team, you're officially giving up. So what's the point?
  16. USAFChief
    At the least, it seems an opportunity for a follow up question or two.
  17. USAFChief
    What would be the issue with just admitting Mauer isn't a middle of the order hitter, but letting him lead off would be the best use of what skill(s) he still has?
  18. USAFChief
    Or front offices and managers making a conscious decision not to blindly bow to tradition, or convention. IMO, the absolute wrong way to get better results from a weak starting staff is to try to wring more outs from them. And while I'm up here on my soapbox, the wrong way to get better results from a weak bullpen is to ignore platoon splits.
  19. USAFChief
    Well, not all managers are trying to squeeze all they can from starters. The Dodgers and Astros, for example: http://m.mlb.com/news/article/245548128/dodgers-astros-not-pushing-starters-deep/
  20. USAFChief
    Ha...I would say he tends to leave his starters in too long. The data is clear about 3rd and 4th time(s) through a lineup. IMO he waits until the damage is done, THEN removes pitchers. This is why we have internet discussion boards...LOL.

    Embarrassing effort all the way around last night. From kicking the ball around, to lackadaisical half hearted ABs, to Dozier jogging out of the box on a ground ball to short, to sloppy infield play where (once again) nobody seems to know what the heck they're supposed to do, to the appearance of a team mailing it in. Sad to see. Much of it is on the players themselves, but it's also another reason Molitor should be replaced. That was not a MLB team on the field last night.

    This has been perhaps the most dismal effort by the Twins this year. Sleepwalking. Molitor needs to go.
  24. USAFChief
    Are you asking Grossman? Cause he has no idea, he never saw it.
  25. USAFChief
    LOL at Grossman.
