    The older daughter dropped off a pair of Saturday Night Specials for me to repair. I told her if I can't fix them I will use them for ramps to drive the vehicles unto for oil changes, etc.

    Stoicism, pragmatism, optimism, pessimism. That's a lot of ism's. And most of them don't go well with fanaticism. (Fan). I consider myself a pragmatist to a degree. But pragmatism doesn't really fit in well with being a (fan)aticism when sports are involved. Frankly in many cases a pragmatist doesn't seem as invested in the team he follows. He may accept or suspect the warts they have more readily than a "fan". That doesn't make the pragmatist right all the time either. I didn't think the Twins SP would be this good this year, and while I thought their offense was somewhat of an illusion last year, I never thought it would be this bad. I wasn't surprised about Sano after I saw the first pics of him this year, but I have been disappointed in Buxton. He is the straw that has to stir the drink. At one time I thought we were gonna run with the big dogs, the Astros and Cubs. Now? I guess we will have to be satisfied with simply being competitive. And we don't seem to have reached that level yet. We should be thankful we have the GT to distract us.

    Shoes don't scare me. I have a wife and two daughters. . My youngest girl counted the shoes she had at the neighbor girls house one night. Seventeen pair! As for the GT's. Keep trying to encourage civility. What's causing a lot of the problems, in some eyes, is that the team is supposed to be better than this and isn't. and this is compounded by the idea by some that GT's are about baseball. Nothing could be further from the truth. A few years ago when the Twins really sucked, there was a gallows humor. It was acerbic, but was never mean spirited, or worse personal. I hope we get back to that and to the somewhat eclectic brand of complaints of those days. Anyone can just bitch

    Mesico will pay for that..........

    I looked for a high quality camo t-shirt for weeks. I could never find one.

    Laces. Depends on where you wearing them. Twins game at Sox? The white ones. A formal dinner affair, red carpet and long flowing gown, you should definitely go with the brown laces.

    . That's nothing, it would be far more impressive if he was 95 yrs old and throwing FB at 41mph.
  8. Platoon
    Never a doubt......

    Don't worry, he just gave that one up so its a save situation.

    So I can teach my dog to eat a bell?

    So does Gwynn yell Macht schnell,Macht schell at Kepler around the bag?

    When we used to sit in the shop and drink beer, one of the guys wore his cap like Rodney..... The more beer he drank, the further the cap went. We could get a very close approximation of his BAC by the cap angle. .

    If they had scored like that when we played my fielding average would have easily been in the .700 area

    Those blue seats are known to be soft spoken but very knowledgable baseball fans...

    That's the general direction of the stratosphere........ . But he came up short.

    So, 538 is telling us we might win? Or we might lose? I like when I don't know what's gonna happen.

    Old Man River has also passed on! I heard it was from age related complications.

    Are you sure your cat was laying on your keys for an hour? Or did you simply forget where you put your keys? Or did you forget your cat did feel sorry. Or did you forget that you don't have a cat?
  19. Platoon
    Yes, please just keep it to Berrios and his silly two run homers.....

    It's too early to sell, and I doubt any buyers are either defined, or motivated at this time. Plus the division is still completely up for grabs. Btw, that's all I would work for, we ain't getting a WC spot.

    I wonder if the proliferation of shifts will soon make large slugging 3B a dinasaur? They will need more athletic and versatile players. I know someon who would agree.

    A nice walnut plaque with "Second Place AL Central."
