    I don't know that the Twins have "clearly outplayed" the Sox tonight. Gibson pitched well. Deserved better. I'll go that far. And people need to get over the idea that the Twins can just show up and beat Chicago. This isn't Alabama against Slippery Rock in football. It's major league baseball, and all 30 teams are really good at baseball. Play well, and you'll probably win because you're a little better than Chicago. Also, Chicago is a little better than KC, who is a little better than Detroit. But the margins are slim in professional baseball. You don't beat anyone just because you're way more talented. You have to outplay them. And this isn't over yet.

    Driving home today, I was stopped at a light and saw two hearses come through the intersection ahead of me. I thought that was a bit odd, but didn't think too much of it, until I saw, following the hearses, a somber guy walking a dog, and a couple dozen men trailing him. All were pretty clearly following the hearses. Well, I just had to know what was going on, so I followed them. When they got to the cemetary, I couldn't help myself...I went up to the guy walking the dog, and asked him was was going on. "Well, that's my wife in the first hearse." he said. "Oh, I'm terribly sorry. If you don't mind my asking, what happened?" "My dog bit her, and she died." "Oh that's too bad," I said. "And the second hearse?" "My mother in law," he said. "Same thing." I thought a bit, and asked "Can I borrow your dog?" "Get in line."

    He was clearly out, but it was close, and a terrific throw right down the line past Sano, and a terrific catch by the catcher on a hop. Some of us feel the catcher may have been blocking the plate before he caught the ball. Paragraph two of the rule might come into play, though, as he was sort of moving to field the throw.

    You had that memorized???
  5. USAFChief
    I would have challenged that.

    Rectangular, long way from home plate.

    Pretty sporty AB there, Cave-zee. Battled your tail off.

    "I think the Twins should always search for better than average but the law of averages suggests that you will have average players on your roster and depend on them." I've misunderstood the law of averages all my life apparently.

    Well, he certainly didn't gave control of that specific pitch.
  10. USAFChief
    He's incredibly popular here in AZ too.

    Again...he missed his spot. It happens. Gibby has pitched well tonight, been a little unlucky, and hurt by the Twins lack of infield range. But nobody hits every fastball down the middle to the seats every time. Watch batting practice sometime. Virtually every pitch is a cookie center cut, and they don't hit every one of THOSE into the seats. They ground some to short, pop some up, lace some singles to center, even swing and miss on occasion. And they hit some into the seats. Including Abreau. Including Harper.

    1. People throw fastballs down the middle all the time. Most of them don't get whacked. 2. That said, I'm guessing he didn't intend to throw it down the middle. 3. That's the only hard hit ball he's given up this game.
  13. USAFChief
    SIgh.
  14. USAFChief
    sigh...Rosario.

    I'm in a little bit of trouble with Mrs Chief, and I don't get it. She claims I don't appreciate her, don't listen to her, don't UNDERSTAND her. You know, all the normal, baseless complaints a wife lists about her hard working, faithful husband. blah blah blah. Anywho, I agree to see a marriage counselor, just to keep her quiet. I don't get it, but after our first visit, things seem even worse. Things were going fine, until the nice lady asked me "And what's your wife's favorite flower?" Well, I thought a minute--and I have to admit I needed to think a minute--and suddenly it came to me. "GOLD MEDAL" I beamed.

    Speaking of my trip to Texas, it's weird...they really are cowboys down there. I'm walking out of the free breakfast at the hotel, and somebody in a huge ten gallen cowboy hat asks if anyone wanted to help round up 18 steers. I told him "Sure, friend...20."

    Man, I took my anti-depressants with me to Texas, and somebody stole them out of my room. Whoever took them, I hope they're happy.

    This lineup is much better with Nelson Cruz in it.
  21. USAFChief
    Fastball, fastball, fastballl...SQUIRREL!!
  22. USAFChief
    1. Yes. 2. Yes. 3. Yes. 4. Baked.
  23. USAFChief
    well if that's the case, do it. Activate him the last day of August.

    Michael Tonkin signed by the DBacks to a AAA contract out of independent ball.

    There's no doubt there's a role for Hamilton in September and the post season. The problem is, how do you roster him between now and then?
