    I hope that someday in the future, more fans will appreciate what they had in Mauer. One of the best catchers to play the game, and most likely the best hitting catcher to play, period. And that is understating his overall offense ability. It's a shame he was concussed, and it's likely we will never have a handle on how damaging those concussions were. Mauer never was a power threat, regardless of the 29? he hit in the dome. He is a batsman, more in the Carew model than for example a Dozier. And given the choice, I imagine that with the winning run on base, almost to a man MLB pitchers would much rather face Dozier than Mauer. Lastly, while not mentioned here, many hold Mauers contract against him. But, given the chance for that kind of payday, I wonder how many of those same fans would turn it down?

    Been there, the other girl and her infant moved in when the baby was a month old. Long since moved out, but comes over constantly. Now 7 she has for some reason developed an extremely odd sense of humor?

    She is too old for that, besides it's become a ritual. On the same trip we were following her husband to a hockey game. Her: "You gotta keep up with Chad, oh crap now the light turned red, we'll never catch him now". Me: "You don't know where the arena is"? Her: "Of course I do, we play there all the time"? That was priceless.

    You sound like my oldest daughter. One day while driving down a 4 lane divided street in the Twins cities she kept shouting it's 55, it's 55! When I told her it was only 38 she said "what are you talking about, it's 55 mph here"! That's when I told her I thought she was talking about the temp! . (North will have to convert this to kph and Celsius for the Canucks)

    My son in law, whenever seeing a Chrysler Caravan or something of that ilk would comment, "there goes someone who's given up on life". To this day I can't get that out of my mind when seeing one on the road. Two rules of the road. NEVER get behind one of those, or a tan Buick sedan. .

    Buxton has hit some balls very well, with little luck. He will be fine. Rosario can be frustrating, but the talent is obvious. Ichiro had a couple balls fall also that he would have normally caught. Sano couldn't get the ball out of his glove. EE missed a GB. The Astro RF totally lucked out on the ball at the fence, eyes closed. Part of it is baseball, and a lot of it is playing baseball in winter. Ugh

    Lol, I should have mentioned that was "several" years ago. Quite a few several states!

    Applebee's? Godfathers? Pizza Hut? We had The Red Onion, and Ida's Cafe. And that was in the "big" town. The little town a couple miles away had two bars of course. Once I was 14 Pa let us take the car around the gravel roads to the small town. We had to promise to leave it parked in one spot once we got there.

    Marny was dressed like she was a contestant at the Iditarod.

    You should go to a nosier bar.

    What makes this series a shame, is its two good baseball teams, one of who is really good, struggling to simply get through the evening. (Along with the fans). The game may appear normal, but I cannot believe anyone operates at a high efficiency in this weather. I wouldn't be surprised if this isn't being played at a 70% level....... The GT is as usual operating at 100%.

    If you take into account the exit velocity of Doziers blast, it was more like 1-2-3-4

    Just discussed Moose and Squirrel with someone today.... One of my altime favorites....

    I wasn't going to donate when he dropped in at my place, but the monkey was so darn cute with that little chute deployed......

    That's the most severe case of dyslexia I have ever encountered! .
  16. Platoon
    You do realize there is both a launch angle and exit velocity on a bunt don't you? . But would the launch angle be a negative number?

    70 day time 63 nights in winter.

    I played enough ball to know that there is no way I would want to play in these temps. Baseball is sort of a finesse game, and there's no finesse below freezing.
  19. Platoon
    It could be, but it could also be sophomoric. It's tough to tell at such a distance.

    I am surprised he was allowed to leave. Gardy is well known to prefer veteran Tigers, than for example Cubs!

    #5. That joke was so bad, it was funny, although I am surprised that Chief is not screaming "plagiarism"? The fact that such humor amuses me was always personally disconcerting, until I joined TD and found out there were others. I wonder how many Siberian Tigers Falvine has at his disposal? If it's just this one, wouldn't we be better served if it was saved for Phil Hughes? While this idea may seem inappropriate, please remember two things. It will most likely improve our chances of winning a game, and that this is GT, making inappropriate a subjective term!

    If the unwritten rules were good enough for baseball, they should have been good enough for Moses!

    Not sure how many commandments Monty thought there were originally, but frankly I find ten way more than necessary.

    Tried to post the link, but can't, but the way I read it is the Spring Pass will be honored, but only for the 14th.

    I don't know, but if it's not, the marketing department should be sent back to marketing kindergarten.
