  1. I've vetted this out already. She's more interested in men wearing tight baseball pants, sunshine, and beer over any team. Perhaps I can convince her to like some Twins players!
  2. I have... BUT, I wonder if I said that in the interview they would have felt sorry for me and offered more money!
  3. It's been a whirlwind of a week guys.. date #3 is on the schedule for tomorrow.. and I was presented an offer to join a new company today! Could be a lot of changes happening for ol' Vanimal.
  4. I can see your line of thinking, Brock. I also see Levi's argument, and lean more towards his side. Which is why I created this thread in the first place. When the games have mattered, over the last 3+ months in his professional career, Dozier just hasn't looked great at the plate. When does the argument transition from "give him time, it's early in a new season, he's been successful in the past" to "hmm, maybe there is something wrong. Are we seeing a decline? etc." Does it take a full calendar season of meh offensive stats? Nothing translates year over year?
  5. My condolences for having so many relatives in Wisconsin, RB. We're here for you if you ever need to vent.
  6. Happy Wednesday! Today is National Cheddar Fries Day! Who doesn't love melted cheese on top of their fries? If it also has bacon bits, jalapenos, chive, or sour cream on top, even better.... Today is also National Pineapple Upside Down Cake Day! I think I've had this once or twice before, but it does sound good this morning! Today is also National Lima Bean Respect Day! I can say I do not respect the lima bean enough, because I rarely have them. Unless they're in a soup or something like that. Finally, today is National Look Alike Day! I day to dress up like your favorite celebrity.. For Mike, all he has to do is wake up in the morning to look like Chris Hemsworth....
  7. Is it a SSS when it's been the same level of offensive production during his last 3+ months playing in the regular season?
  8. His 2nd half drop off last season was well documented: .210 / .280 / .359 9 HR 34 RBI He's off to another very slow start this year. .196 / .288 / .304 A 2 week hot streak could make this post look silly, but 3+ months of below average hitting IMO is a cause for concern. Is this the beginning of the end for Dozier?
  9. I can only think of 2 characters that could do that. Gus makes the most sense, since he was always discreet with his role in the drug business. The other fan theory I read about, but is more far fetched IMO is Hank. Since he's been following the cartel for a number of years and wants to arrest them himself. I'd think Hank would make it known he was there and ready to kick ass if that were the case. Or it could be a character we're not familiar with yet.. It will be interesting to find out next year.
  10. Why do you believe if Escobar or Nunez spends extended time on the DL that they'd defer to Tovar or Beresford? Wouldn't that be the best case scenario to give Polanco a real look with every day player at-bats?
  11. No Gus sighting this season... But I have a sneaky suspicion that he was the one that put the stick on Mike's car horn and wrote the note "Don't" on his windshield. I'm pretty pumped up to see what's going to happen in season 3!!
  12. I'm starting to hate Chuck more and more with each episode...
  13. Wow. Can't believe that's how this season ends...
  14. Rookie of the Year is in the top 1 of all-time... Brickma is a gem of a character. I think every kid my age at one point in time tried the hidden ball trick and came up unsuccessful.
  15. It may be a little awkward if Gardy asks for his old office and parking space back.... Sorry Molly, seniority wins 9 times out of 10.
  16. Gardy's going to have a lot of fun teaching: - Davey Murph - Brandon Kintzy - Dan Runzly - Loek van Mily - Buck Britty - Reynaldo Roddy - Buddy Boshy - Logan Darny EDIT: And who could forget Darrin Mastroi-ey
  17. Excited to see Polanco play! Hopefully he gets more than a cup of coffee compared to years past, and gets more playing time than what they gave Kepler.
  18. I don't hate this hire. This could be good for Gardy and the Twins' minor league squads... But good lord, is there any other organization in sports with this much of a country club atmosphere than our Twins? Does TR, the Pohlad's, or whoever made this hire fear any voice outside of the organization?
  19. Also, keep him 200 feet away from MiLB pitchers at all times... We don't need JT Chargois or Nick Burdi learning the "pitch-to-contact" philosophy.
  20. Per Twitter: Aww hell, I can't get it to work... On the Minnesota Twins Twitter page: #MNTwins hire Ron Gardenhire as Special Assistant to the GM. He will travel to MiLB affiliates as an instructor.
  21. Our investigative team has a lead on where the real Miguel Sano is! Rumor has it that Prince Miguel Sano is trapped in a castle far, far away... The culprit of taking our savior? All we know is his first name: Bowser... This is the most recent picture we could find: http://www.giokando.net/giochi/immagini/super_mario_world_bowser_battle.jpg We have our highly trained SECRET AGENT team of Mario and Yoshii conquering each castle to find Prince Sano, but so far no dice... We will continue to report back on the progress of finding our dear Prince....
  22. Thank you for the call d-mac. Doesn't it feel good to get that confession off your chest? Quite frankly I'm not sure you should put so much blame on yourself for the 9 game losing streak... After DEEP diving to figure out the true cause of this winning streak, we've boiled it down to 2 outcomes: - Once Bark resurfaced on TD, the team started winning! - When ChiTown is actively posting on game threads, the team also starts winning! Further proof that the ILLUMINATI exists.... ChiTown posted on yesterday's game thread "Arcia goes yard here" And what happens 3 seconds later? BOOM. Gone!! These are the 2 prophets to our team's success. As long as Bark is on this website, and ChiTown's posting on game, then WE"RE GOING TO WIN TWINS! WE'RE GOING TO SCORE, YEAH!
  23. I would hope that people don't take it as being mean, Mike. But if they do, GET OVER IT. I use caps to EMPHASIZE a point, and also drive home the SARCASM when I'm posting from a phone and can't use italics or bold...
  24. That's a great question North.. Some people like to use bold to emphasize a point... But does it really drive home the point? Not to me.... But when you see THIS, it makes you stop, and think MAN, that's something I should READ!
  25. Thanks for the call, Dinger. I didn't mean to have you on hold as long as cable companies do, but I can't undo the past. I know all about imposters now that the Intern has gone rouge on me.... To answer your question about Sano, I am becoming VERY suspicious that this Sano guy is an imposter! Last year, the Miguel Sano we know and love was clean shaven, with a million dollar smile. Compared to this year, LOOK at this guy! This so-called Sano has a beard! Evidence below: http://www.rantsports.com/fantasy/files/2016/04/MiguelSano.jpg I'm willing to bet someone wanted to pretend to be an MLB superstar, HID the real Miguel Sano, and we're now watching Michael Snow.... Time to go to the Dominican to find out!
