  1. I can't afford a wench.
  2. 1. Stay on topic please. 2. Take comments about TD moderation to the proper forum.
  3. "Shields was gone when they won in 2015." So were Myers and Odirizzi. Yet they still won a WS. How about that. Disaster averted. Trading minor league talent didn't doom the franchise.
  4. I do the same thing! Does yours end up looking like #2, like mine?
  5. Wrong thread, but it boggles my mind that Berrios can be in the organization since 2012, and they're just now deciding to change his motion.
  6. Command is somewhat important for a pitcher.
  7. And where does Molitor bat him??? NINTH ferpetesakes!!!1!11
  8. Just more proof that baseball is the most wondrous of the major sports.
  9. I started with the least desirable and moved up. Still a lot of rejection, and never did hit the right level.
  10. Shameless, self serving plug: Only 4 games left this season needing game thread vols: Sep 24, 25, 28, 29. You know the drill.
  11. You left off the "..and a WS appearance in 2014 and a WS Championship in 2015." You're also assuming a great deal with "two very good players" So, yes, I agree with Jimmer. At the time, felt the trade was a bold attempt at getting out of the ditch, and as we know...it worked. The goal shouldn't be to have the rookie of the year. The goal should be to win the WS. I bet there isn't one single person in the KC organization, or many KC fans, who regret that trade.
  12. That's pretty unfair, Craig. That's been my opinion of Reusse for a long time. And largely unrelated to this article, where, like Nick, I don't even agree with the last part of the article.
  13. IMO, like him or hate him, Reusse loves baseball, more so than any other local writer, and what's more, KNOWS a lot of baseball. He might sometimes be a jerk, but he's a smart one.
  14. Or he doubles into the gap and the route is on. Reasonable people can disagree, I guess. But i NEVER sacrifice in the second inning. Never. Depending on the pitcher, possibly even not with a pitcher up. Moving a runner(s) up one base at the expense of an out doesn't make sense. If, late in a game, it appears one run will very likely win the game, and the hitters due up and pitchers available to the opposition both make sense, OK. I can see it. Otherwise? No.
  15. "Weather: Upper 60s (brrr!)" Holy cow. You were born in Minnesota and live in Chicago. Have some self respect ferpetesakes.
  16. RB (almost) always takes series openers. Open games needing vols are listed at the start of this thread.
  17. I agree with Pat. This team's lack of talent isn't his fault. This team's consistent and persistent inability to play the game properly falls mostly on the coaching staff. And there's no evidence that will change if the talent improves.
  18. I think it's reasonable to question whether the Twins would have spent the money to sign all three if Ryan was the GM. The team has no history of outbidding for foreign talent before or after Smith's tenure.
  19. Lah-who, Zah-... Ya'll know the rest.
  20. the broken thumbs. never the same power. a shame really.
