    I suggest punching out your neighbor's car window and setting them nicely on the dash.

    Probably but a guy can dream it's the positive scenario. Perhaps I'm reading into something that's not there, but the culture could be so toxic in Minneapolis that they don't want any young players to witness it.

    Good. No Dozier in the lineup tonight. Let's give him some time to reflect on how great he feels.

    I don't know the first thing about what's best for each of these individuals. Even though that doesn't stop me from commenting on it! Yes, I agree the best plan for now is to get these guys 1-2 months worth of ABs in AAA and hope 1 or multiple prospects figures out their flaws. In the mean time, I can't think of a worse scenario from a pure entertainment standpoint for fans. When Berrios was up for his brief time, his starts were appointment TV for me. Same with seeing Buxton, Sano, Rosario, Meyer, Polanco and Kepler for the first time - following their success and failures. For the time being, I just can't get excited to watch the stop-gap players on this team.

    Also, go to Casey's General Store and get some breakfast pizza.

    God I hope so.. If Burnett gets the call up before Chargois... Buzz, your girlfriend. WOOF.
  7. Vanimal46
    To me, on the negative side, it feels like the point is to continue to delay the inevitable promotion of Chargois to the major leagues. On the positive side, hopefully this is the AAA replacement for Chargois and he gets the call-up.

    Oh boy! Leftovers from the 2nd worst team in baseball!

    That makes sense. I was envisioning an actual bicycle you were on... And since you mentioned before that you're 6'5, I was picturing the avatar of our old dear friend, Negativity Police.... http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-yye2YB7qWmw/UTsWthGrwjI/AAAAAAAAI9E/81AuNiNRBto/s1600/Funny+Police+Pictures+(35).jpg

    Holy crap you biked 240 miles in one day??
  11. Vanimal46
    Oh no.... not you too, ChiTown. The Tiny House phenomenon needs to go!
  12. Vanimal46
    I guess I haven't seen the episodes when he went international. I still like the show too. The Food Channel is my go-to when there's nothing else on TV.

    Speaking of canoeing, I saw the movie Vacation this weekend. I can't say it was overly funny, but there was a canoeing scene that reminds me of what it's like to be a Twins fan.... Guess which character is a Twins fan... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JthWJYe0lps

    Yeah it's very strange... Started out with his ST column of "Young Sano has growing up to do" relating to his "attitude problems". I don't get it.
  15. Vanimal46
    Guy Fieri doesn't drive beyond US borders! Overall I'm not impressed with his selection of restaurants for the show, at least in the Austin area. He chose an average BBQ place and an over-rated cafe...

    Forget Tim Horton's... Meet him at VJ's Drive Inn for the best hot dog in Winnipeg!

    How many MLB stars have to say the same GD thing in order for this to be changed? The batters don't like it, some of the fans despise it. If player safety is actually taken seriously, the MLB would implement suspensions and fines for intentionally beaning another player.

    CC to Brian Dozier:
  19. Vanimal46
    Who proposed this idea? Sid? This may be the hottest Twins take I've seen in a long time....
  20. Vanimal46
    Nobody that's willing to give up their cushy seat in the press box to write what's really going on in the organization... Guys like Reusse and Souhan seem to forget they're not compensated by the Twins to do their job. They want to be a part of the gang instead of being journalists IMO. Unless there's some sort of agreement between the Star Trib and the Pohlad's to present the team in the best light that we don't know about.
  21. Vanimal46
    Unless I'm reading this wrong, I'll never say it's unlucky that the team was in contention for the playoffs. The book was written quickly on how to stop Dozier, and he's failed to adjust. I assume that the coaches point this out to him on a daily basis that they're pitching to you outside knowing you're going to pull the ball. Either he's being stubborn and not taking the guidance given to him, or his swing is so programmed into his brain that he can not change it. Either way I still can't blame the organization for holding onto him. It's surprising that he's completely fallen off the map at age 29..
  22. Vanimal46
    Even on this hot streak he's struck out 12 times in 21 AB? Woof.... He continues to defy all logic by having a good OPS while striking out 49% of the time. Mind.boggling.
  23. Vanimal46
    Absolutely agree. When they were in the thick of the playoff race, there was no reason to trade Dozier last year. This year, IMO, it's a completely different story. He should be expendable if there's a team willing to take him on.
  24. Vanimal46
    Trusting that our young, awesome RPs in the minors were ready... Which they are not. For the 2nd year in a row.
  25. Vanimal46
    Yep. I don't know why they ran with this article to be honest. Last year when Perkins tried to play hurt, we were upset that he didn't speak up earlier, and as a result, blew some saves that could have potentially punched our ticket into the playoffs. I think there's a lot bigger fish to fry in this organization instead of ripping on pitchers who could be more injured than the organization admits to.
