  1. Speaking of the Tanque Verde Swap Meet, I was there last weekend and saw one of those fancy, flat screen TVs for sale for only $30. I asked the guy what was the deal, and he said it works, but the volume is stuck on high. I thought for a minute and then decided "Well, I can't turn that down."
  2. It's like shooting fish in a barrel, isn't it?
  3. King: How many volunteers for the death squad? Squire: 384, my liege. King: Round them up. Squire. 400, my liege.
  4. Well do you know the difference between a good joke and a bad joke timing?
  5. ANOTHER incident here in Tucson today. I was walking through the mall after work, and I saw this guy run into the Apple store and run back out with a couple phones. The cops got him though, and then came back to get my name, address and cell number. They told me the county DA would be in touch, to let me know the trial date. They need me to be an iWitness.
  6. They're shocked...SHOCKED...to discover the pitching isn't up to snuff.
  7. And speaking of game thread intro's //ba-dum-tschh// we are in need of volunteers for the following dates: 8/4 TEX 8/6 TEX 8/8 MIL 8/12 @DET 8/13 @DET 8/17 CLE 8/26 @TOR 8/30 CWS 8/31 CWS Do the right thing...PM me and Chitown.
  8. Something like a game thread intro, then?
  9. Sort of a sad day here in Tucson. We have something called the "Tanque Verde Swap Meet" that is open every weekend, a sort of giant ongoing yard sale. There's even been a small circus there for years, made up mostly of part time, semi-amateur locals. They've had to shut down one of the main acts, the "human cannonball." The guy who got shot out of the cannon had reached the age where he just wasn't able to do it anymore, and they can't find a replacement. ... ... Seems it's hard to find a man of that caliber.
  10. I was just wondering the same thing. Again.
  11. without using google, can you tell us who that is?
  12. That seems to me the most plausible explanation. If so, discouraging.
  13. I've, too, often been described as "hardly working."
  14. What I think: You might not build a staff in one offseason, but you don't build one by sitting the offseason out, either. Get started already, for Petesakes...or we'll be having this conversation every year. The Twins WERE positioned to be in contention a couple weeks ago, "sequencing" or not. Adding some quality pitching last offseason would have possibly helped to lower that magic "baseruns" number, added a few wins, and helped avoid this disastrous road trip, where the bullpen is the reason they're not having a winning trip. Side notes: using terms such as "fanciful, laughable" to describe other posters is out of bounds on this place. Please don't. When TD owners pass away and leave me this place in their will (I'm going to outlive them all), I'm going to ban the word "sequencing."
  15. That still left them an entire offseason and spring. There's been a non-trivial change at the top, but we're still waiting for non-trivial change elsewhere. I realize Rome wasn't built in a day, and I still have hopes for the hires, but I'm also not going to give them credit for accomplishments that haven't been accomplished yet.
