    I'd take Larnach. The Twins OF is pretty bad. We had the rusting hulk of Tim Beckham in LF and at DH, ferpetesake. Cave. Celestino. Gordon. After that I'd probably take Jeffers, and I don't even like Jeffers. Then Winder or Ober. Get one of Archer or Bundy (cougharchercough) out of the rotation.

    Concur. This is precisely why at it's best, TD kicks the regular media's butt. Hard. Can you do all the game recaps, Matt?

    Did you watch the game?

    I thought 6 complete was enough for Mahle. Actually, if I were managing, I might have thought 5 and 2/3rds was enough and not let him face the tying run at the plate in the bottom of the 6th. And by the way, nice job Mahle.

    Check out his Mar/April 1972 splits. That was back before I understood the concept of "regression."

    Yeah personally I didn't think much of him but I'm pretty confident now I was completely wrong. It all looks pretty legit to me. There's been too many half season flash-in-the-pans to count (my personal fave is Bobby Darwin) but this seems legit. I dont think he'll ever have a great OBP but the bat to ball skills are top notch, and he'll hit for some power.

    My S-I-L and a friend do homemade bacon every so often. It's outstanding. But don't tell him I said so.

    I suspect that was Mahle's last hitter. If so, good job Tyler. I'd be ok with that, too.

    Also Gladden: Show-hay Owatonnie

    Her last album did well but she got divorced last year.

    "Getting 30 pounds of pork belly ready for the smoker" is what I call waddling my fat self out to smoke a brisket.

    I'd take that at my age just to have a new anything.

    Boy, the SD GM is ripping Tatis pretty good.

    In general I believe in sending a guy with 2 outs. But...there needs to be at least some small chance.

    My Anaheim story: I was at The Big A in August 87 for this moment in Twins history. I was sitting about halfway up the 3rd deck between home and 1st and clearly saw something fly out of Niekro's hand. As did the umpires, it turns out. I have heard the actual issue was sandpaper glued in his glove, but I don't know if that's true or not. Sidenote: the HP ump was St Paul native Tim Tschida.

    Oh, and let's go. Time to buckle down and win some games.

    "our Hometown Hero's begin a 3-game set with the Anaheim Angels of Los Angeles, or is it Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim, or Anaheim Angels" Perhaps we should call this the "Franchise to be named later." Some of us are old enough to not only remember the "California Angels," but prior to that the "Los Angeles Angels." Of, um, Los Angeles I wager.

    They got Betts because the Boston Red Sox couldn't afford him. The BOSTON RED SOX. The Dodgers payroll is over $310 million. They're also paying approximately $47 million in luxury tax (which should be 10 times that amount, but let's stay on subject). That's roughly equal to the San Diego Padres and the Minnesota Twins COMBINED. And the Padres are among the Leagues higher payrolls. Baseball is broken.

    I think Rocco needs to schedule some team building activities, like the 87 team thrived on. I mean, look at the joy and comraderie with which they celebrated touchdowns during team-building tackle football games!! And they didn't even have to put yard lines on the field. The dome alway had those faded out but not quite gone yardlines visible from Viking and Gopher games!
