  1. Sano can play 1st while Mauer's on the DL. I don't have any idea what is wrong with Mauer, but a major league hitter simply can't come up in the 9th inning, down one, and watch three consecutive fastballs go by without even flinching. ANY hitter, much less a guy batting third. So I'm going to give him the benefit of the doubt and say he's hurt. Get him off the field.
  2. And I was there to witness it. Sort of. We were so far up and far away it coulda been anyone on the mound.
  3. I would give up the 91 WS crown, in exchange for my kids to somehow be able to experience the 87 World Series. My kids have grown up as Twins and Viking fans, and they had no choice in the matter...dad sorta forced it on em. And they've never had the chance to watch a season end in a championship. I'd like someday for that to happen. If necessary, I'd throw in whatever the Lynx have won.
  4. They need a middle of the order bat. The heck with it. Call up Sano. He can DH 4 days a week, play 3rd one, and 1st one.
  5. A pony walks into a bar and whispers his order. The bartender asks, "why are you whispering?" "I'm a little horse," comes the reply.
  6. I thought you weren't switching back.
  7. Guy walks into a bar, sits down next to a comely young thing. Starts admiring his watch. The young lady says, "that's a nice watch." "yeah, it communicates with me telepathically." "Oh yeah," she says, "what's it telling you?" "It says you're not wearing any panties." She giggles. "Well, it must be broken...that's not correct." "We'll see," he says. "it runs about an hour fast."
  8. 8 already in June! Seems like less, dont'it?
  9. Even Bert is disgusted with Mauer's weak swings.
  10. Hey now...he lost a lot of weight this winter.
  11. Has he really changed his FB mix, or has the velocity decrease led to mislabling his four seamer as a two seamer?
  12. Slow turn from Escobar, zero stretch from Mauer.
  13. ... ... .... ......... bwahahahahahah
  14. One reason Why St Louis wins: they don't worry about signing a guy like Jhonny Peralta, who many would describe as being in his "decline phase," to a 4 yr, $53M contract, to play SS no less. They're not looking to "get younger," they're not worried about "blocking" some minor leaguer, and they're confident in their own assessment of the player and his ability. So far, they've been rewarded with a 116 OPS+ in 2014, and a 142 OPS+ to date in 2015. They figure the best way to win is to put the best players on the field, and they don't care where they get em from.
  15. Phil Hughes has not had more than four strikeouts in a game since April 24th.
  16. buzzkill of the year.
  17. When I saw him in the AFL last fall, I wasn't overly impressed with the bat. (of course, it was only a couple games) But watching him run was startling.
  18. Dunno, but if it's gonna take 3 triples per inning to score one run, it's gonna be a tough year.
