    Man...scary situation. I was just driving home for lunch when Mrs Chief called me. "Be careful, dear," she told me. "I've got the TV news on, and there's helicopter footage of some idiot driving the wrong way on the freeway." "Thanks," I told her. "But it's worse than that! There's hundreds of em!"

    In general, I'm with ya. Especially with 2 outs, I send the runner every. single. time on a hit to the OF and make em throw the guy out. In this case, Mauer had to hold up on a shallow popup and make sure it was going to drop. Nothing to be done.

    They've already all heard it.

    I feel the need to share this. I've been married four times. My first marriage was, luckily enough, to a really wealthy debutante. Didn't last, but I found a beautiful actress and much to my surprise, she said yes. Didn't last. I then married a preacher lady, and my most recent Mrs Chief is an undertaker. ... wait for it... .... one for the money, two for the show, three to get ready, and four to go.

  7. USAFChief

    I'd need new uniform pants every game though.

    Which WAR did you use...bWAR or fWAR? //stupid question. Of course you used whichever one made you look better. DUH. That's what everyone does with WAR

    "...small, intimate gathering at Target Field. We have plenty of room for ya!!"
  11. USAFChief
    Yeah, but the no-no is still intact. //ducks//

    I believe I could post those stats if they let me play HS baseball TODAY.

    I would say DanSan in RF has already cost them an extra inning loss. And they have several close losses, where one additional hitter might have had a positive impact. How has 13 pitchers helped them win any?
  14. USAFChief
    Sure I'd listen if the Twins called.
  15. USAFChief
    The short bench, and Santana in the OF, has already impacted multiple games. Giving priority to what you worry might develop into a minor problem, over what already is a major problem, is...stupid.
  16. USAFChief
    I don't understand your argument...they can't go to 12 pitchers because they have no other pitchers? That makes no sense, and in any case it's not really true. Boshers and Chargois are on the 40 man, as are Melotakis and ORourke. If they end up needing a pitcher at some point, that's a decent start on a replacement, not to mention whoever they drop from the 25 man might still be in Rochester. They need to provide the major league manager with a better bench. That's more important than preserving "depth" when the depth isn't an issue anyway, and in fact it's the "depth" that is costing your team at the big league level.
  17. USAFChief
    That's not a reason not to pick one.
  18. USAFChief
    concur.
  19. USAFChief
    Bad jokes? In a game thread??
  20. USAFChief
    Why not? As I see it, we're on a 13 year cycle, and guess where we are on that.
  21. USAFChief
    False!
  22. USAFChief
    Rainout?? Figures. Tonight was "Die Hard Night." Free admission for anyone Who was actually alive the last time the Twins won the pennant.
  23. USAFChief
    Courtesy of Aggies7 in last night's game thread: The last time the Twins hit more HRs than their opposition for a season was 2004. Prior to that, 1991.

    Me, I'm pretty tired of the Twins "trying" players. I want them to start "playing" players. Good players. Players capable of winning. I don't want to wait around endlessly for Danny Santana to try to get good at baseball. I don't want to waste more years thinking Gibson is going to develop skills he doesn't have. And I don't want to take a guy successful at one thing and waste a year or two trying to for something else. Find succesful starters. That's how you fill out the rotation.
  25. USAFChief
    IMO this isn't even a question. Was, is, and will be effective as a reliever, doesn't have the tools to be an effective starter. Increase his leverage, and leave well enough alone.
