    Don't tell me you are spying on Brian again? His wife will get suspicious sooner or later.

    I am way behind on the TIVO, but I think it could be said that this could have been the end of Swarzack as a starter?
  3. Platoon
    He was one of my all time favorites, one of the great gigs of all time!

    But what if you were Father Guido Sarducci?

    You must have forgotten that Aaargh is the international greeting for pirates. A Aargh here and a Aaargh there, and a parrot on your shoulder and you could have faked your way thru the whole day.. That said I have always wondered if the Somalians are really pirates? I watched the Tom Hanks movie, and there was not one parrot, wooden leg, or eye patch in the whole movie!

    I would have thought It a difficult habit to get into?

    Maybe it was the same guys who took that last I from Tori??

    I have seen everyone or thing on this list recently, but who is this Josmil Pinto guy??

    Maybe 300, I was umpiring... I must have been very good, the crowd kept yelling my name!

    We bought one for a bachelors surprise bday house party... At the last second we left it in the car, took in cigars instead. It proved fortuitous, as his minister, and two young nieces opened gifts for him.... I think it wold have been one of life's smaller moments!

    Well now I know where the I in team went, Tori(I)
  13. Platoon
    OH MY. I thought he meant Frankie V

    I just tuned in when dick was trying to sell me season tickets for next year, but I was busy talking to a guy on the phone from India selling me new home siding. I thought the siding sounded like a better investment.

    I only have one qualm about Tori, he won't be hitting in front of Miggy and Martinez at TF

    Took you in? To? I bet most TDer's assumed they took you in to a "hospital". (Large building with patients) But instead, you said "take me somewhere with patience". So they drove you to the local VFW, slowly!

    My only concern with finding a FA LF or CF is that if they drop significant dollars to do so they will block the prospects. In most cases this would not be true, but the Twins don't seem to like to trade someone like that, especially in the first year. Now it could be argued that Morales disproves that theory, but he truly was a rental, destined to stay or go depending on those fateful 10 games after the ASG!

    The article was entertaining but fictional. The points tho are valid. And to some the solutions may seem radical, but then again losing 90 four years in a row is in itself radical. This team has always taken the low key approach, and as a rule I am a fan of that philosophy. But I don't think a lot of people truly understand how wide spread the problems are. Not to rehash the Trib articles, but many think that one of the solutions listed would cure things. This is currently a team without any studs. Studs in the future, yes. Studs from the past, yes. Studs that never will be, plenty. We wanted a SS who could hit, this one is far better. A catcher who would improve the staff (and as a bonus had a career year with the bat) ? Done. Some power at DH, done. A "good. SP, done. And now for the results! Another -90. The single most significant word in this article is "irrelevant". And that's what the Twins are now and it's going to take more than a new SP, or manager to change that. And I hate saying that because really want to see Gardy gone!

    I used to look for beaver on Hennepin Ave!
  20. Platoon
    Lucky for you it only went 9 innings!
  21. Platoon
    Keep up,the good work!
  22. Platoon
    Actually 5, but you maybe on,y read the first 3?

    Years ago I saw a guy that looked just like that on Nicollet Island, but he was laying next to the alley holding a bottle in a brown paper bag!

    What if we put a two sentence limit on posts for the day, so as to stretch the page count? It seems there are a lot of thought expressed here that easily could be done in 2 sentences, rather than babbling on and on about inane things like the traffic in chicago and which airport is the easiest to get to. And Gary IN, don't even get me started on that !
  25. Platoon
    But would Gardy then be accused of sticking the deck against the Tigers? Would this offend his oft mentioned "respect for the game". Not to be confused with "For Love of theGame"
