  1. I have, but I had a great seat so had a good view. Awful stadium though, and when I was there it was literally me and a couple thousand other folks in the stands. I was sitting behind the plate, and I could hear individual conversations from folks out in the right field seats. I kid you not.
  2. We have the lead after a full inning!!1! http://media.philly.com/images/600*450/20100923_inq_lowoutside23-a.JPG
  3. Don't fall for the ol' "water bucket full of confetti" trick, Gardy! You know it's comin'!
  4. Hammer got most'a that'n.
  5. Zuke gets it done.
  6. I'm unsympathetic about the one man bench when one of the 10 players available is a guy you claimed off waivers who has no business being on the team in the first place. YMMV.
  7. I was told claiming Jordan Shafer was a non event because he would never play.
  8. He called it his "four seam fastball."
  9. Kansas City completed a sweep of SF today. The Tigers are in extra innings at Toronto. If Day-twah loses, they will be 0.5 games ahead of the Royals for the ALC lead.
  10. My "McDonald's Big Moments" Twins play of the week: Trevor May had a perfect game through 0.1 innings Saturday night.
  11. Rip Sewell (sp?) of the Pirates is generally credited with inventing the "eephus" in the 40's. Bill Lee used to throw a few back in the 70's, I think.
  12. Huh...I've got EI and I have the Twins b'cast on.
  13. Not if he keeps hitting HRs, he won't.
  14. Was I the only one who thought Deduno's body language was pretty bad last night? Along the lines of "I'm too good to be here, now...mopping up"? Slapping his glove at the throws back from the catcher, frowning, looking disinterested?
  15. Deduno's body language last night was really bad, IMO.
  16. OK, I'm in.
  17. Looks like my ISP picked a good night to have issues.
  18. Chitown is gonna have kiniption fit.
  19. 1. It's professional baseball. I expect the team to keep fighting. Gardy would get no credit from me if that were the case...but I don't even see any particular "fight" in this team. What I see is a culture of losing, which is easy and comfortable. Winning is hard, losing is an easy habit. 2. A team that wins is a sign of a very good manager, IMO. 3. I don't see anyone working all that hard, or any harder than other major league teams. And they're not all that young, either. This organization needs a culture change. Start with the manager.
  20. Whew...I thought I was the only one getting that ad.
  21. I know that many people despise Selig...but IMO he has done a lot more good than bad for MLB over his tenure. Revenues have increased faster than inflation, attendance is stronger than any time in history, there's been two decades of relative labor peace. The introduction and later changes to the wild card system haven't ruined the game as many predicted,and in fact have worked as hoped IMO. Inter league play has lost some of the newness factor, but series like Twins/Brewers are an undeniable success. I would like to see the DH rule standardized, but that will probably take some time. People obsess over the AS game deciding home field for the WS, but honestly...BFD. I hope the new commissioner, on whole, is as successful as Bud.
  22. G'night everyone, and thanks.
  23. Well when else would you send a Christmas card, if not December?
