    His glove was in the wrong place.

    Dickbert: "...and Molitor making a rare move here..." We've noticed.

    yes.

    So in your opinion, it's an isolated incidence? http://www.fangraphs.com/blogs/joe-mauer-swings-away/ This is dated, but still pretty applicable. I believe he's swung 3-0 once this year, for example. Being too predictable is never a good thing. Mauer is too passive at the plate, always has been, and likely always will be.

    They brought him in from the back, like most visitors.

    "having the property of fixing colors"??

    It makes no sense to me that that padding on OF walls stops about 4 inches or so above the ground. Why not have it go all the way to the dirt? Leaving that gap at the bottom is just asking for dead balls, and even worse, an invite to an injury.

    For RB: "trenchant" tren-chuh nt 1. incisive or keen, as language or a person; caustic; cutting; trenchant wit

    Bases loaded, none out, 3-4-5 due up. We got one, which seems like a bonus.

    Good start to this inning.
  14. USAFChief
    off.

    Well, back in Arizona. It's hot. I was working while in Minnesota. Can't say much for the manager...he assigned me this special project, and I worked all day on it. Next morning, he calls me in his office and asks, "Do you want my opinion on your work?" "Sure," I says. "It's worthless," he says. "i know," I said, "but let me hear it anyway."

    Yes, I can see how the chance to get that type of programing would drive up the price.

    I'll be among the 40- or 50 thousand at tonight's game. Look me up if you want to buy me a beer.

    1. Hawaii – Perhaps the top vacation destination in the world is actually hundreds of islands all connected by water. I don't mean to be obtuse*, but if these hundreds of islands were connected by something other than water, they wouldn't be islands, would they? They'd be...land. *this is an actual, real word. I heard it used in "The Shawshank Redemption." And that guy was really, really smart, so it has to be real.

    HEY! I'm lookin' at YOU, troop! I need volunteers, RIGHT NOW! So suck in that gut, stick out that chin, and take one step forward, meat. And take an iron to that uniform, while you're at it!

    100-loss pace: TD pretty good place to hide out.

    The question I'm asking is why the Twins making such a trade--any such trade, not necessarily Hamels--can be accurately described as "unrealistic." They've never done so, and under Ryan, I don't believe they ever will. And that's a huge problem, IMO.
  22. USAFChief
    I think the Twins' biggest single problem is...the idea that a Tulo trade isn't (wasn't) very realistic. Why? Same for a Price or Hamels. Competing for top level free agents. etc etc etc Why? Why can Toronto or Texas pull that off, but it's unrealistic to think the Twins can swim in those waters? I'm not picking on you here, Van, because you're absolutely right...it IS unrealistic. That's the Twins biggest problem, and that's the biggest problem with Terry Ryan. IMO, he dreams small, and worse, he's got most of us thinking that's ok.

    Personally, I'm GLAD TR traded for help last year. That's exactly what he SHOULD have done. "Sequencing," "luck," whatever you want to call it...it doesn't matter. They were solidly in the postseason hunt last July, and stayed there until the last weekend of the season. They needed BP help. Now who they traded for, how much they paid, and if they should have done more are all fair question, IMO. But I would have been supremely angry had TR done nothing. Jeesh... People are seriously advocating "they shouldn't have done anything when they WERE in contention, in the hopes they can maybe do something IF they get into contention in a couple years"? Seriously? That's...the opposite of how it should be done.
  24. USAFChief
    Don't be so sure about that.
  25. USAFChief
    Lots of game thread volunteer opportunites left for the second half!! When the miraculous second half playoff push is in mid, uh, push...don't get left out!!!
