  1. Prolly push the alcohol, like the rest of us.
  2. I can't help but feel a good offensive team would have had the KC pitcher out of the game about 6 runs ago.
  3. Can we return to urinal talk and up the classiness of the game thread?
  4. One of my favorite Gilligan's Island episodes.
  5. Come to think of it, you might be correct. I wasn't watching either, would have to go back and look at it.
  6. Actually it did, since he later got thrown out at home.
  7. Not to get all techinical or anything, but the baserunning blunder ended up not mattering. If Santana holds, the SS throws out Hunter. Mauer walks, runners on 1st and 2nd, one out, which is where it ended up. If everything else stays the same, of course.
  8. Given the regular Prince's size, a mini Prince must be really, really tiny.
  9. Dickbert: "Guthrie has all four pitches..." drink.
  10. My baseball playing cousin, Danny Santanarosannadanna, gets us rollin!
  11. Nice job with the game threads, stringer. Thanks!
  12. My opinion hasn't changed since ST started... the best of a bad set of options was to start with Hicks in CF again this year. There is still a chance that option works out, meanwhile he's probably not any worse than the current options. Plus, I doubt the current CF options come with much if any chance at success, short or long term.
  13. Anyone else really tired of hearing "This bird..." every time you open a page?
  14. I guess I don't understand any position on this but "9". But I'm uncomfortable being of the same mind as DickBert. Fortunately it should never come up again on a Twins broadcast while we're in the field...
  15. It is indeed. One wonders why. I don't think the drastically reduced workload has had any positive effect on pitcher injuries, or longivity.
  16. Governer Walker later defended not bringing a gift to the reception with a rather stern "I had no idea what to get them" retort.
  17. Mauer clearly cost the Twins a run tonight with substandard baserunning. Should Molitor have pulled him from the game?
  18. It's rather amazing how much things have changed in a relatively short time. Bert Blyleven debuted as a 19 yr old in 1970. From 1971 through 1976 (when he was traded mid season) he never threw less than 275 innings in a season, and had 110 complete games. His ERAs in that stretch ranged from a high of 3.00 to a low of 2.66. He was 25 yrs old at the end of that run. He threw another 3000 innings AFTER that, including five more seasons over 250 with 293 as a 34 yr old, and ended with a career 3.31 ERA. If Hughes is an ace, how much would Blyleven (who wasn't regarded as the top pitcher of his era), be worth today with those numbers?
