    Quit stealing my material.

    That must not include post season games. I saw Adam bleeping Kennedy hit 50 just in one series.
  3. USAFChief
    I wonder what he's gonna say when the Twins say "OK. You've been traded to Toledo."
  4. USAFChief
    I bet you hear that a lot, when you opine on media related matters.

    I'm weird, what can I say? I grew up with no college or HS shot clock (or three point line). It's weird you say 13-12...One of the most memorable HS games I ever saw ended up something like that. A hopelessly outmanned team played keep away against an aggressive man to man defense the entire game, and when they got the ball would only shoot an uncontested layup or with a couple seconds left until the end of the quarter ( no halves in those days, four quarters.). They were good enough, and well coached enough, that they could do so without turning the ball over, but were giving up too much height and talent to win playing straight up. They ended up losing anyway, but to me it was pretty cool they had a chance to win in the end. I get that's not most people's idea of a good BKB game. Maybe I wouldn't want to watch it all the time either...don't actually know. But I hope they don't shorten the college shot clock...the rich will get richer and you'll see fewer upsets.

    That's my point...shouldn't a system as deep, and as ready to cure what ails the Twins, have others to promote?
  7. USAFChief
    I don't think it makes sense to trade Plouffe until you've got a replacement ready to take his place and perform better, or at least as well for less money. TheTwins don't have that guy yet. That goes for all positions, IMO. Make room for minor leaguers when you have one ready, and not a minute before.
  8. USAFChief
    I love college BKB. It would be ok with me if they lengthened the shot clock,or eliminated it. Other than that, it's fantastic. I can't watch an NBA game because to me, while they may be very good at what they do, they are not playing basketball.

    I'm sure Bernier's is a nice guy, and perhaps giving him a month's MLB salary is nice and all, but...it seems to me a team in the Twins position, with a "top rated minor league system" and all, could find better ways to invest in the future. As to the rest...pretty underwhelming, as well. BTW, this is a comment more about the actual status of the Twins minor league system than the individuals themselves. The system will look better if, and I repeat if, Buxton and Sano return to something like they looked a year ago, but that's no given. And without them, things don't look nearly as rosy.

    When I retire for good, I think i'm going to get a part time job cleaning mirrors. I could see myself doing that. I like channeling RB.
  11. USAFChief
    yes.
  12. USAFChief
    The last month of Twins baseball til 2015. Makes me sad, no matter the results.
  13. USAFChief
    "Buck Sherwalter." Drink.
  14. USAFChief
    Give it a few more starts. An 11.92 ERA might seems like buying low.
  15. USAFChief
    "What knockers!" "Oh, thank you doctor." We haven't had a Mel Brooks movie quote day on a game thread in way too long, and 11-2 seems like a good time to me.
  16. USAFChief
    You can see the "give up" in the Twins body language pretty clearly today, no? That's why we need some new management, IMO.
  17. USAFChief
    Nolasco happens.
  18. USAFChief
    We can't even get an out when they hand us one.
  19. USAFChief
    What is "Sundown"?
  20. USAFChief
    Lets compromise and just write off the 19 innings.
  21. USAFChief
    I feel bad. RB does all the work to put up these game intro's, day in and day out. He leaves us with one little task, and we can't even get THAT done.
  22. USAFChief
    Yup, I've seen him do it. He got nr 9999 when we were up 19-6.
  23. USAFChief
    Punctuation is so critical to understanding.
  24. USAFChief
    Well, they're only A ball pitchers, but that's kinda harsh, isn't it?
  25. USAFChief
    Yeah, but it's hard to be sure with so little to compare it to.
