  2. What's red and smells like blue paint?
  3. And still, not a single Blue Jay, this entire weekend, has had to so much as arch away from an inside pitch. You. can't. let. the. other. team. tee. off. on. you. with. no. fear.
  4. Dick: Every pitch isn't a fastball. Particularly the ones that curve.
  5. They should put one in his ribs on the first pitch.
  6. I will do as always...follow baseball, root for the Twins.
  7. Nice job this weekend, Danchat! Much appreciated.
  8. For me it's an on again, off again thing. I like to use the wife's iPad in the morning, with a cup of coffee, in the designated smoking area (the garage). Some days, I fire it up, and it works fine. Some days, I give up within 30 seconds, because if it crashes once, I know it will be unusable.
  9. I would prefer to hear "I screwed up last winter. We'll do what we can to throw a few tourniquets on the multiple gushing wounds for now, but I need to start building the 2017 team. Between now and Opening day, my job is to put a much more talented team on the field."
  10. Yes. //"ON" = Old Nurse.//
  11. TR is smarter than this. He'll wait a month or two till the price comes down. Way down.
  12. Well, there's the smoking gun. Case closed. Sports memorabilia store guy's possible second choice of phrase for an autograph session that won't happen.
  13. I don't mean to speak for ON, but since I read like this frequently, I"ll take a stab. I think perhaps he believes the people commenting in hindsight about how bad the team is, and what should have been done, would still be making comments, in hindsight, because those moves wouldn't have made a big difference. If I have that correct, I would say that's a pretty strong indication he believes TR should be fired, since TR has the team in such dire straights that nothing he or we could have done would have changed a thing about a team on pace for a near record of futility.
  14. Doris's sister. Doris's sister. Interesting trivia: they both had a couple kids, and named them all "Green."
  15. I'm going to guess Bautista didnt get one in the ribs in his first AB today. He hit another HR. Those things seem related.
  16. That's where Molitor has lost me, about a week or two ago. The poor play isn't just talent related. They are really, really, really terrible at playing the game. And that's at least partially on managing...every time. Teams can't be bad at running the bases unless the manager doesn't care or doesn't manage. Teams can't continually have throwing issues from the outfield unless the manager doesn't care or doesn't manage. Teams can't continually be in poor cutoff position unless the manager doesn't care or doesn't manage. They are just simply too BAD at basic things that should be done almost every time at the big league level. Teams may have better hitters than you do...but they shouldn't ever beat you consistently because you can't, won't, or don't know how to play the game.
  17. I want Mollie gone, but... what in Mastro's history suggests he has a better chance of hitting a HR against a leftie than Arcia?
  18. Can't argue with that. Except (as I'm sometimes inclined to do...) I'll argue just a bit anyway. Take a look at tonight's lineup. Then compare it to Toronto's This team really isn't all that talented. Our 3 hole hitter, for example, is sporting a .730 OPS over the past 2.25 years. Our 3 hole hitter.
  19. I think the point is, if everyone else was doing great, we'd still have a first baseman, entrenched in the lineup, making $23M and putting up pretty meager numbers. It's a problem.
  20. Has a single Blue Jay even had to move his feet in the box tonight? They're laughing at the Twins, and the Twins just take it. Encarnacion put such a clown swing on a pitch he threw his bat into the second deck. If Bautista doesn't get drilled in the first AB of tomorrow's game, Molitor has forgotten how to play this game. You can't let a team treat you like that, no matter how bad you are.
