    Speaking of llamas, on the way to St. Cloud with two tenor olds for a kids tourney, my ten yr son looked at a llama pen and asked, "why do those sheep have such long necks"? I told him it was the only way they could see over that tall fence netting!

    One of his brothers was quoted years ago to the effect that Joe was intensely competitive, be it bowling or numbly peg. And good at all of them. He had to have been not only talented but uber competitive to excell at so many sports. He is sort of the Bud Grant of his era without the duck boat!

    Very nice to see someone call Twins ownership out on the fact that it never was Mauers contract that kept them from spending money. It was simply the miserly ways of Jim Pohlad.

    Or, they could have fired the guy who lost 103? Pohlad may have saved Molitors job when Falvine came on board, but to me that has always left the impression that Molitor is the Twins manager because of his relationship with Pohlad.

    I like Kepler. I also think he is one of the core group of younger players who needs to play almost everyday. No platooning, no pinch hitters. The team will rise or fall with this group, there's no calvary coming to the rescue.

    "Any self-respecting sports fan should have a team that you hold the exact amount of unreasonable hate for another team as the amount of unreasonable love you have for your team. If you don’t… you are an unbalanced sports fan and you are the type of fan who can get pushed around by Ozzie Guillen types because both feet aren’t set. This balance is also necessary in regular life as well. I had to marry another woman that I hated as much as the wife I love." I always found Ozzie harmless, and extremely entertaining. And I always found two wives expensive and not entertaining. I ended up solving the problem by developing a love/hate relationship with one of them. Sort of a dual purpose wife, like one of those weed trimmers you can turn into an edger. At first I was concerned that picking which one to keep would be a problem, but they solved it for me. They drew straws and the one that pulled the short straw got me!

    For some reason I thought it was Liriano when I told this story a couple days age. Regardless, it was one of the great moments in baseball. I went to check on whether this is addressed in the unwritten rules of baseball, but I couldn't find it anywhere.

    . That's the most chemistry I have did since 6 th grade!
  9. Platoon
    Is that what they mean about 3 true outcomes?

    And that joke was an an assault on humor, in its normal definition.

    Maybe the game isn't really that slow. When your cold everything seems to take longer.

    After a whole weekend of this his lips may be frostbit.

    Or, two negatives don't make a positive neither!
  14. Platoon
    Hypothetically she has a point.
  15. Platoon
    If 2 negatives make a positive, does a what if and a hypothetical make one also?
  16. Platoon
    Thats a sobering thought at my age. .
  17. Platoon
    . That's amazing, since he was always givin her all she's got cap'n. Although he always seemed a little short of lithium crystals.
  18. Platoon
    ........or something.
  19. Platoon
    Yes
  20. Platoon
    I wonder if they would let me in if I brought my support polar bear? And would he need a ticket?
  21. Platoon
    That could have been another unwritten rule, but it's too late for that now. . Which made me think, unless you are talking directly to someone, how can an unwritten rule be discussed, and remain unwritten? ?
  22. Platoon
    It was complex and well written. That's what threw me of! .

    I have never been convinced that Molitor and Falvine are actually on the same page. But that's from the outside reading between the lines. That said, no one really knows about Kinley, as there are limited games, the weather has been bleep, and Molitor won't use him unless we are down by 7. So the jury is still out on Kinley as a pitcher. Another poster mentioned getting Molitor on board with theses moves. But the bottom line is he would not have used Bard, and didn't appear to fond of Shaggy either. Veterans. It's how he rolls. I don't know whether the FO should adapt to that theory, or Molitor should adapt to his roster. But until they straighten it out, it's obvious you can't shove young players onto him, and locking yourself into non flexible roster spot was a mistake. That or extending Molitor was?

    I took my dad to the VA in later years when he was in a nursing home. . And was his POA. Eventually I sold his car, and when his license renewal came I tossed it. The VA doc asked him if he still drove. He told her that we stole his car and cancelled his license. She told him that was a good idea, he had no business driving. He was sharp as a tack and knew that as well, but couldn't pass up the chance to take a shot.

    Early candidate for post of the night! (Even tho I had to read it 3 times)
