    League is only a tiebreaker when two claiming teams have the same record. So we are last in line for all waiver claims right now. I'll take "Phrases that give me a warm feeling inside for $400, Alex."

    I can't believe I'm 'splainin' this. It's a takeoff of an old lawyer joke. "My dad's a lawyer." "Honest??" "No, just the regular kind." ... "I'm an Indians fan." ...

    Speaking of Indians fans, at work the other day we were all asked which teams we were fans of. I, of course, answered "the Twins.." Someone else answered "the Indians." We were all pretty ... surprised. The guy asking the questions said "Honest?" And back came the answer..."No, just a normal one."

    Nobody likes a suckup.

    Most of them.

    What is obvious is that most (all?) of you didn't even read the column. You just see "Joe Mauer" and automatically go into "Must defend at all costs" mode.

    What slander? This (from the column)? He will soon be in the Twins Hall of Fame. Perhaps, in a few years, he will be in baseball’s. He is one of the greatest athletes in Minnesota history, and only injuries kept him from becoming one of the best-hitting catchers in baseball history. He is the embodiment of the supposed Minnesota sporting ethic: diligent, humble and team-oriented. When he donned his gear one last time, he provided the emotional highlight of the 2018 season.

    Likewise. Thanks for your service.

    Ventilation is important.

    We live in a ... um ... rather "mature" neighborhood. So much so that Mrs Chief and I bring down the average age. So I was talking to my next door neighbor this morning, across the fence. He was soooo proud of his new hearing aid. Just couldn't stop bragging about it. "Best this," and "Most advanced that." Yada yada yada. Finally, I asked him "What kind is it?" "About quarter to ten," he said.

    He can look like the worst hitter in the major leagues on one swing, then come back in the same AB and look like someone you can't get out. To a greater degree than most anyone I've seen.

    Concur, if I could see it. SInce it was a major league outfielder, I'm going to assume he couldn't see it. Hence, not an error.

    Mauer wouldn't be playing a day game after a night game.
  15. USAFChief
    It was a double because no fielder could get his glove on it. And ERA isn't meaningless.
  16. USAFChief
    Good crowd on hand. Nice to see.
  17. USAFChief
    The shift giveth, and taketh away.
  18. USAFChief
    He wasn't. Wild pitch. He was safe, but came off the bag.

    A Circus Boy Circus Boy Update.
  20. USAFChief
    Coming out of rehab.
  21. USAFChief
    Well, it took five balls to do it.
  22. USAFChief
    Nice job Gibby.
  23. USAFChief
    Pretty bad challenge.
  24. USAFChief
    Was that the point anyone made? If course it doesnt "kill" the 2019 Twins. One player doesnt make or break a baseball team. I know you know this, so I know you know better than to ask this question. But with Mauer they dont have Cruz. They probably don't have Cron. They would be making accommodations and compromises to fit Mauer into the lineup. They'd have scored fewer runs, and have a worse W/L record. Just like the last 5 years or so.

    Update? Have we contacted Spycake? If so, response?
