    I can whip up a bunch of them brownies I had last night. Two of them and you won't be able to tell the difference between Milone, Dean, or Albers.

    Three other words to avoid in a sentence. This lineup, and inspired!

    Late catch up, watching on TiVo. And Berrios struggled mightily, but why not just let him get his 90 pitches in. Why pull him after a SO? For Pat Dean? Lord help us if it's for evaluation purposes.

    I also will be absent quite a bit, instead of the usual absent minded. Where are you going with your eye? I want to make sure I am far far away.

    Gardy was famous for these moves. He made Pinto Dedunos personal catcher, and then complained that Pinto couldn't catch. While no one will confuse Pinto with Mauer, the good lord could not look good catching Deduno. Vargas does not PH last night? With a long bench? I would let Beresford play before Shaefer, at least there's loyalty in play. While I do not think Molitor picks the lineup out of a hat, I do think all the coaches throw nine names in their own hat, and Molitor just picks the hat.

    I do think Sano is going to be a stud. He is not going to be Brooks Robinson, but Brooks could only have hoped to have half the stick. Or arm. This might have been his wake up call year. It's the first year he hasn't be "da man", and I think he likes being that guy. Like many I would have preferred a premiere SS to a corner guy, but in a year there are going to be a lot of guys who wished they had Sanos bat in their lineup. His year might have turned out differently without out some of the FO decisions that affected him, and his reactions to same.

    I can't quite agree with Jham on that. Buxton and Sano are going to be better than fine. Since he plays third, I think Sanos bat can carry his glove, and I don't think Buxtons glove will need any carrying. Kepler is very solid and Rosario will not hurt us. While Plolanco does not fill "my" criteria for a SS, he might at 2nd? But we won't know this year. In almost any other scenario I would keep Dozier. Streaks and all. But something, someone has to bring us SP. for without out that, all the rest of this is simply at best a second WC contender. While we also need a glove first SS, and better catching, it's still the pitching that has to be addressed first and foremost.

    I imagine it could be considered a historical article. In the vein of what happened during the Civil War, but not why it happened. It did touch on the yo yo ing of prospects, which I at least found valid as a cause for slow development. When one takes into consideration that this team has not been a contender al year, that makes that philosophy harder to understand. But the part that made the most impact for me was the following, from the end of the piece: " Here's hoping the Twins pick the right pairs. (Of eyes) The alternative outcome is too bleak to ponder". If they don't get this right, and get someone in who makes out of the box good decisions we are all going to be watching bad baseball for the next ten years! Minimum!

    I grew up on a farm. We always had one dog, and numerous cats. Even an assorted sheep, goose, or whatever. But they never came in the house. We tried a house dog when we got married. Didn't work, it's definitely not the same. I just don't enjoy animals in the house, and that may be a mouse, or the cat that could catch it. (And lay it next to my chair) . But I understand those who do, my daughter had Kaiser the Cat, which I and another daughter lived with for three I days in a rental truck from Medford OR to so MN. Let's just say Kaiser was a dominant spoiled cat, who did not take kindly to I80.

    I was puzzled by that more so the second time. Dozier has been insanely hot, but cooled slightly, lately. But this last AB. I would rather pitch to Polanco than Mauer, any day of the week. I like Polanco, there is just no comparison when it comes to experience at all.
  11. Platoon
    Beresford comes up, starts, good D, solid single, GREAT BUNT, and we win! Cause? Effect? Corellation?
  12. Platoon
    Just think if they had brought Vargas up?
  13. Platoon
    If they're like your kids, they may change their mailing address, but they never really leave!
  14. Platoon
    Thank god! I thought it was the brownies?
  15. Platoon
    Ours

    I too am outa here. Taking granddaughter to a fireworks display in honor of some German who defeated the Romans in 9 A.D. I am not sure of the war years, but I think this might be the 2007th consecutive celebration!

    Where I really liked Shatner was in Boston Legal as Denny Crane. A man with no parameters whatsoever!
  18. Platoon
    Kirk!
  19. Platoon
    His point exactly!
  20. Platoon
    We need to start enforcing the two main tenants of GT. No math, and no baseball. Alice in Wonderland, and Star Trek are of course highly recommended.
  21. Platoon
    I figure if I can put up with the things going on at One Twins Way, I can put up with a post or fifteen that I don't agree with!
  22. Platoon
    Molitor might beg to differ!
  23. Platoon
    I can be as sarcastic as anyone, not to speak of snarky, (I know it's a surprise) but I'm having a hard time keeping up here.
  24. Platoon
    Does a blind dog have a seeing eye person? And do fire hydrants have Braille labels on them?
  25. Platoon
    mI like what you've done with your hair. Next to Clevimger, it's the best hair in the room!
