  1. Torii confirms it! "The big guy is ​athletic!" Drink!! edit: ninja'd but this is prolly worth a double anyway
  2. I agree Escobar probably doesn't get it. But there are major league SS's who do.
  3. RBI are a worthless stat. All you need to do is get guys on.
  4. Tough luck there...Max hit that ball hard.
  5. Y'know, it's a small world. I went to the theater last weekend with Mrs Chief. There was a lady, an, uh...sort of elderly lady, sitting a couple rows in front of us, and I just couldn't get over the feeling that I knew her. Finally, it hit me...I was pretty positive I had it. She had been one year ahead of me in high school, and I had had the biggest crush on her all through school. I was sort of shocked at how much she had aged, but I decided that after the play, I would go and say hello. So after the play, Mrs Chief and I went up and I said, "Escuse me, but did you graduate from CHS?" "Why, yes," she said. I asked the year...."Yes," she said, now clearly getting the idea, but I could tell she didn't recognize me. "And you, too?" she asked. "You got it," I smiled. She looked just a bit embarrassed, and admitted she didn't recognize me. So she asked, "I'm sorry, but what classes did you teach?"
  6. That's a cheap run. Bloop single from Cabrera, ground ball single from Martinez.
  7. http://www.hotel-r.net/im/hotel/gr/castro-4.jpg concur.
  8. I got stopped by a cop on the way home tonight, he asked me where the fire was, since I was going so much over the speed limit. He didn't give me a ticket though. I told him I had to get home before I forgot where I was going.
  9. My memory just ain't what it used to be...when are taxes due?
  10. My memory just ain't what it used to be...when are taxes due?
  11. Conversely, 1, 38, and 4,599 are all letters.
  12. Me, I'm pretty tired of the Twins "trying" players. I want them to start "playing" players. Good players. Players capable of winning. I don't want to wait around endlessly for Danny Santana to try to get good at baseball. I don't want to waste more years thinking Gibson is going to develop skills he doesn't have. And I don't want to take a guy successful at one thing and waste a year or two trying to for something else. Find succesful starters. That's how you fill out the rotation.
  13. IMO this isn't even a question. Was, is, and will be effective as a reliever, doesn't have the tools to be an effective starter. Increase his leverage, and leave well enough alone.
  14. Huh, it's ash, and it's not even Wednesday. A miricle!
  15. He's without a contract on April 12th. To quote one of my favorites, Dwight Yoakam, "Baby, things change."
  16. It bothers me our new front office couldn't see this a week ago. One of Haley, Breslow, or Tonkin should be gone immediately. I'd jettison Breslow. Leave Duffey in the pen where he has always belonged. Get Vargas here. And while we're at it, find a useful player to take the wasted spot of Danny Santana. It felt like he was in the lineup today only because Molitor has to "work guys in." He offers nothing. It should have been Park out of spring training, but if not him (I know he's got a hamstring thing right now), then go get a RH hitting OF option. Particularly since the guy who should be the RH fourth outfielder can't play OF and is somehow needed to DH.
  17. I didn't think you were YOUNG enough to remember Arte Johnson. Say goodnight, Dick.
  18. Sorry, I haven't been able to keep up with the game thread. I am volunteering at a local elementary school. I asked the class what their favorite letter is, and a little lad's hand shot up and he answered "G!" I was happy to get some participation from the class, so I thought I'd give him a chance to explain. "And why is that, Angus?"
  19. Not to mention the opportunity for a non refundable boom daddy to the chin when called for.
  20. In his defense, Oil Can Boyd is 57 years old, so that ERA is actually rather impressive.
