  1. Cruz is such a massive upgrade in the middle of the order. Many people these days pooh pooh RBI. Not me. They win ballgames, and he's good at em.
  2. http://persephonemagazine.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/01/jon-stewart-guffaw.gif
  3. In any case, 2 of 3 to start the year, against Clevelands top 3 starters, is acceptable.
  4. I think that baserunning mistake was on Buxton. It was hard to tell, but I'm pretty sure Astudillo got the stop sign from the third base coach, then the coach started frantically windmilling when he saw Buxton charge around second.
  5. If Odorizzi and the pen can just match the team's average runs allowed, I predict a win.
  6. My theory is that you need more practice creating game threads.
  7. Wasn't Baldelli just raving about Cruz's baserunning ("secondary lead") aiding in a run scoring, after a spring game? He's not fast, but maybe he's a good baserunner. Also, I agree with the above poster...I wouldn't take his bat out of the lineup in a 0-0 game. That's something Gardenhire would do...
  8. Blah blah blah, all this optimism....makes me wanna puke. Players from the Twins farm system are on pace for a .071 batting average this season. The farm system is TERRIBLE!!! FIRE SOMEONE!!!!!11!11!!!
  9. Shoulda' bet on that. Opening day happened, and it seems like those were pretty long odds of it being cancelled.
  10. You can start a game thread whenever you wish. However, we're not "pinning" them to the top, so it might drop off the first page prior to the game. I'd suggest preparing the thread, saving it to your computer, then posting that day, or even the day prior.
  11. "It's a tarp!" -Admiral Ackbar
  12. Ignoring the fact Spycake has proven your claim about Houston's payroll to be false...what, pray tell, does Houston's payroll have to do with the Twins, and/or the Pressly trade??
  13. pfft. on pace to not give up a baserunner all season.
  14. Can you point us to the posts of members wanting to DFA both Pressly and Gibson?
  15. I'll go with 86. Pitching isnt good enough for more, but playing in the ALC helps enough to get above .500.
  16. Self guaranteed employment.
  17. Indeed. AKA "pear shaped."
  18. I have some sad news to share...my good buddy passed away last week. At the funeral, Mrs Chief and I sat in the front row, alongside my friend's grief stricken widow. At some point during the ceremony, she looked at me and asked me "you two were so close, could you say a word?" Well, how could I refuse? I made my way to the pulpit, faced the crowd, and said ... "plethora." As I sat back down, the widow looked at me, tears streaming, and said, "thank you. That means a lot."
  19. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v308/tekfiend33/Bullpen%20Car/bear.jpg On a more positive note, TC carted on the field.
  20. We will have a much more informal game thread procedure this year (similar to how we ended last year.) In short...there is no procedure. First come, first serve. If you're here, and there's a game, start a game thread. We'll all stop by and make inane comments, and you might even get a classic Chief joke or three.
