  1. I like Graham. He is a little bit of a power arm, and he seems to have a bulldog personality. He also could be an example of letting a guy get his feet wet before determining if he is going to be able to stay up. Like May, Graham's first few games did not define him. Will Meyers?
  2. The bad news is we lost. The good news is we lost. Because otherwise nothing of significance will be down to turn over this roster. There are too many holes in it. The, what I consider, odd winning streak in the beginning of the year derailed that process. It's a shame to consider you might have to play for next year, but that really seems like the reality of the situation.
  3. The problem with "atrophy" store is it keeps shrinking!
  4. one of the greatest WKRP quotes of all time! "As God is my witness, I thought Turkeys could fly"
  5. Riddle: If it's Ex Lax, what don't you stay away from?
  6. If they were playing the Twins, that would be a pretty safe lead!
  7. I keep thinking that about Dozier, and they just keep throwing him high fastballs. And he keeps hitting them into the seats. As a hitter, you will always get mistakes to hit. But if your weak spot is fairly large, you better hit the mistakes very well at a very high rate.
  8. How about "Forks Stuck in You (*)
  9. How come Chapman doesn't throw any change ups?
  10. I am glad Dozier is hitting all those dingers, but as a baseball pragmatist I cannot understand why he ever ever ever sees a high fastball? He might hit a single off the other 7 spots in the zone, but up and in to him is just suicidal.
  11. Is every starting pitcher looking over his shoulder at Santana? And I am not talking about Danny!
  12. I just came from my granddaughters 4 yr old T ball game. All 6 teams are currently undefeated! And they all get a medal. I think MLB dropped that idea in 2010.
  13. He must have stopped for a beer and peanuts if AJ got him! Lol
  14. It seems very few players are brought up to replace a healthy player. It is almost always injury related. Santana saved the Twins bacon last year in CF. Buxton and Hicks both up for an injury. And I cannot remember Vargas situation last year. As for their performances, anyone who thinks there is a 21 yr old savior in the minors is not paying attention. Look how many years it took KC to get production from their youth. Bottom line, you can lose with the veteran roster the Twons field, or you can lose with the youth. One has a potential for improvement, and one does not.
  15. Hannibal Lector always struggled with those decisions also. He invariably went with Mr. Stroganoff. I think he considered it a no brainer?
  16. I am catching up on TIVO, and just got done expletiving my wife on Santana. While I am sure she has no idea what the hell I am talking about, I felt better. Maybe someday they should March out, and jerk him off the field for stuff like that? Regardless, those plays cause us to have to play far lesser talents at SS just because he doesn't have an adequate attention span! Grrrr
  17. Kent had that nice soft belly to land on first.
  18. I have installed at least 4 dishwashers, and have absolutely no idea how to load one, put soap in it, or turn it on. I have found that the less one knows, the better off one can be.
  19. If you leave them in there about a week, all that water on top of the cups is mostly gone! On the other hand, if you do that, but forgot to start the dishwasher, there may be a new life form living in there when you open the door!
  20. Maybe it's just me, but I am always puzzled that pitchers keep throwing high fastballs to Dozier. But maybe that's just just me?
  21. The errors and FP are almost identical, I think Sanatana has better range, and quite a bit better arm. Hitting is, or could be the difference.
