Dick: "Foul just over our heads." Bert: "There's a LOT of things over our heads." Bert's been gone 30 days, right? It's been 30 days since I last heard that.
Every series, Dickbert are flabbergasted at all the hard throwers coming out of opponants' bullpen, like it's the most amazing thing they've ever seen. At some point, I wonder if it dawns on them where the unusual bullpen lies?

widely reported that Hunter's contract with the Twins includes a no-trade clause. http://www.mlbtraderumors.com/2014/12/twins-to-sign-torii-hunter.html
This list is a pretty damning piece of evidence in the prosecution's case in the "fire TR?" debate. Dominated by"unlikely's" and "impossible"s", and the rest consisting entirely of "we should be so lucky as for someone to claim him" and a couple "perhaps worth a bag of balls" types. How does a team end up in this position, year after year?
