  1. The sheer amount and variety of incredibly poor baseball the Twins have pulled off this season is ... mind boggling. Not talent related...simple baseball stuff related.
  2. Mauer taking strike two, right down the middle, only to put a defensive swing on the two strike pitch and tap into a DP was...predictable.
  3. Hello//hello//hello//hello Is this thing on//on//on//on
  4. I saw some sad news online today...research shows that six out of seven dwarves aren't Happy.
  5. I been warped by the rain, driven by the snow I'm drunk and dirty don't ya know, and I'm still, willin' Out on the road late at night, Seen my pretty Alice in every head light Alice, Dallas Alice I've been from Tucson to Tucumcari Tehachapi to Tonapah Driven every kind of rig that's ever been made Driven the back roads so I wouldn't get weighed And if you give me, weed, whites, and wine And you show me a sign I'll be willin', to be movin'
  6. I think the travesty was in deciding, almost two years ago, that Arcia was too valuable to trade and worthy of keeping on the 40 man, but not worthy of playing time. So they end up not using him, AND not getting much if anything for him...all while not really knowing if he'll hit. That seems to me a point worthy of debating on merit, if one isn't looking for any reason to discredit criticism of the font office.
  7. A couple nitpics with Nick's article: in April, I didn't see Mauer "spraying liners everywhere." He was getting a few more to drop in LF. I do agree he was K'ing less. I also disagree he used to get a lot of doubles by hitting "liners down both lines." He never pulled the ball with authority much. And to me, that is the primary issue with Mauer, his inability to turn on the ball. When pitchers aren't afraid of you pulling the ball, they pitch you differently. Teams can defend you differently...and teams don't even defend right field against Mauer anymore. The entire OF is shifted way to the left. He still gets on base, at least better than other current Twins options. Bat him first or second and just leave him there, instead of continuing to imagine anything is going to change.
  8. I had a job interview today, but I'm not sure it went real well. They asked me to describe myself in three words. "Lazy," I told them.
  9. It took four pitches to K Buxton. Progress!
  10. TV Broadcast Experience: $1500 Twins Hall of Fame Package: $1200 Twins Radio Network Experience: $850 Bag of BP baseballs: $600 Package of game used sunflower seeds: $550 Plouffe Skywalker: $500
  11. http://d.yimg.com/a/p/sp/tools/med/2008/05/ipt/1211528847.jpg Do not like.
  12. No wonder you only coached one year.
  13. No...but holy cow, you bought mlb.tv?? How much did THAT cost???
  14. Set your clock back a couple hours tomorrow so it doesn't get late so early.
  15. Chris Archer falls to 4-11. Baseball is hard to predict.
  16. I admit I have a small problem...so I went to a "Kleptomaniacs Anonymous" meeting last night. Unfortunately, all the seats were taken.
  17. http://mlb.mlb.com/images/2005/10/24/t7NKvXFM.jpg I dunno...they make you look short.
