  1. Gregorius needs one in the ribs.
  2. Coincidentally, that's what we take up to the plate, as well.
  3. I wish Mauer would turn on a ball like that once a yr or so.
  4. I was sitting in my usual spot earlier this afternoon...having a beer at my usual neighborhood bar after work. There were two medical students next to me, and I was sort of eavesdropping, listening to them "diagnose" every patron. Someone would walk in, they'd watch, and then discuss what was wrong with the person. And there was SOMEthing wrong with everyone, it seemed. Eventually, an old man (imagine that...old in MY eyes) walked in, legs apart, shuffling, a look of discomfort on his face. "Pelfy Syndrome," said the first med student. "You can tell by the shuffle." "Don't think so," said the other. "Skyatski's Miasma. Look at his face, and the legs far apart." They argued a bit, and finally went to ask him. "Sir," said the first. "Excuse me, I don't mean to pry, but my friend and I are med students, and we couldn't help notice you as you walked in. Do you by any chance do you have Pelfy Sydrome?" "Nope," said the old man. "You're wrong." "Skyatski's Miasma?" asked the second. "Nope, you're wrong too." "Well then...what DO you have?" "Well...I thought I had gas, but I was wrong too." "
  5. Just catching up. Lynn was pretty unlucky in the first. Two ground balls get through, then one line drive. And this just in: I HATE the Yankees. Hate them with the intensity of a thousand suns, each in super nova, and all in my living room.
  6. “Don’t bother fixing the last man in the bullpen, there are other fish to fry” = “Don’t bother paying the electric bill, we owe a ton on our student loans.”
  7. Granite isn’t a prospect, and when you watch good teams, you understand why Grossman/LaMarre do nothing to help the team win.
  8. Man...just got back from the doctor's office. Not a good trip. The doc examined me, sat me down, and told me he had some bad news, and some worse news. "You have Alzheimer's," he said. "And cancer." I was pretty broken up, as you can imagine. "Well, doc," I said, "It could be worse. At least I don't have cancer."
  9. New York: The first time I ever came into a game there [Yankee Stadium], I got in the bullpen car and they told me to lock the doors. -Mike Flanagan
  10. ****. *** **** **. I'll wager right now that he'll come up big against the Twins at some point this year, and prove a valuable pick up in general.
  11. We post fried chicken comments in the game thread of almost every Twins win. Is it your position that I cannot consider a person of color lazy? "Black people are lazy" is racist. "Joe Black Guy is lazy" isn't necessarily so.
  12. The fact he IS "the mop up guy" is all the proof you need that he's using up a valuable roster spot. No bullpen "needs" a mop up guy. Anyone can pitch mop up, including your best reliever. It doesn't matter who pitches mop up. Ryan LaMarre can pitch mop up, and already has. If that's all someone is used for, he's costing them, by being unavailable for the 90% plus innings that aren't mop up.
  13. I think a useless roster spot is upsetting no matter if it's Kinley or Moya. And I'd argue Kinley is (was) way more useless than Moya. Moya would be used in a spot that mattered before Kinley.
  14. Dear thtf: Skip the salad, eat a steak. -H
  15. fighting the fire with one less fire fighter seems needless, to me. roster spots matter.
  16. I felt like Tanaka would have been shelled by many teams last night.
  17. True, but it does seem like one problem with a possible solution.
  18. I don't mind the bunt for a hit there, if they're giving it to him. Maybe once in a while Mauer could try hitting a ball to right field too. Typically the right fielder is "waaaaay over there" towards center. You know...giving it to him. Maybe get that SLG up over .400 for a change.
  19. Kinley has to be gone tomorrow, no?
