    I used to hear that a lot in Toronto.
  2. USAFChief
    concour.

    I'd like to claim credit, but alas...I don't know three French words. Wait...does "french fried potatos" count?
  4. USAFChief
    Yes.

    Great baserunning, there, Mr Santana.
  6. USAFChief
    OK...I admit it...I found the Hotels.com ad pretty funny.
  7. USAFChief
    Mebbe so, but I bet you'd kick some arse in a cookie baking contest.

    That was late in his career. He wasn't very mobile by then. A "statue" in fact.

    Big league play by Plouffesie.

    I remember flying Search and Rescue missions looking for the survivors. Early model C-130's, if I recall correctly. We refueled in Toronto and took in a late season Argonauts game during a layover.

    Just the Midwest? Do the symptoms include rolling one's eyes, groaning softly to one's self, and the occasional short chortle? If so, the virus has reached Arizona.

    2013: starters, 871 IP; relievers, 579 IP 2014 to date: starters 803 IP; relievers, 465 IP The bullpen is on pace for less work this year as compared to last year. For comparison, Twins 2010: starters 995, relievers 457.

    The Twins were 5th in the AL in ERA in 2010 with Delmon in LF.

    I want a new manager because this organization has come to expect losing. Nobody...not the players, not the fans, not the GM, not the coaches, and not the manager, expects to win. It becomes a habit, or a culture. Losing. I want a new voice, from outside, who expects to win,and goes about trying to make that happen because he knows his job depends on it. A manager looking to make a name for himself, rather than one trying to hold on for dear life because of the past. A manager who will embrace new ideas, maybe even come up with a few of his own, rather than resist change at every opportunity. The Twins should have changed managers already, certainly by last winter. It's inevitable. Putting it off farther into the future only reinforces in everyone's mind the perception this organization is a losing one. Ron Gardenhire had his time, and he was once the right choice. But that time is over. He'll be fine. Move on.

    They all should be gone, unless Dave Martinez wants to bring any of them back as part of his staff.
  16. USAFChief
    Who's on first. No idea the guy in center.
  17. USAFChief
    Twins winning pct by month, 2014: April, .522 May, .448 June, .429 July, .423 August, .379 September (to date), .333 It appears the "rebuild" might need a new blueprint. Or a change in general contractor.

    I think you're supposed to call a doctor after 4 hours.
  19. USAFChief
    Needle?? The real bad cases use a spoon.
  20. USAFChief
    The hard stuff. It always comes down to that. A gateway ice cream, just a little vanilla, or maybe strawberry, what's the harm, right? Then comes a "friend" letting you try some Gold Medal Ribbon "for free, man! It's awesome." Next thing you know, you're cruising the entertainment district late at night, looking to score some butter brickle, hating yourself the whole time. Sad, really. They say it's a disease. I'm not sure there's a cure.
  21. USAFChief
    He had one already, in only 5 years. It's not like it's some great rarity or anything. Sheesh.
  22. USAFChief
    Yes.
  23. USAFChief
    pfft. you ol' softie you. That's the kind of thinking that led to IV straight XC loss seasons for the home town IX from CDIV thru CDI!
  24. USAFChief
    Many latin descendents of the late Emperor Nero era settled in the Orange County area, and you know how the Romans loved baseball.
  25. USAFChief
    If I put it at 0.5 per game, I think it becomes a tough call.
