    Graduated high school the same year as him. He's the only MLB pitcher where I can say I had 2 at-bats against in varsity... He was hitting the low 90s back then, so I was clearly over matched. 0-2, 2 K's swinging. 1 foul tip and 1 foul ball opposite field that had some distance to it.

    Under. They're going to stick with the proven veterans in the pitching rotation too long and it will cost wins. Should be a fun year to hopefully rotate out the old with the shiny new prospects.

    It's also National Chicken Cordon Bleu Day! That's combining 3 of my favorite things! Chicken, ham, and cheese.... mmmm. Today is also National School Librarian Day! Remember to read books, kiddos! Today is also National Hug a Newsperson Day! It's too bad Patrick Reusse isn't a newsperson, he could use a hug after his column about Sano...

    Why would the experts pick the Twins to win the division? I'm fine with being under the radar. Less expectations..
  5. Vanimal46
    Duensing is left without a home, eh? I'm sure that's going to be very tempting for the Twins to sign him up again.. I'm still holding out hope for David Wells to make his MLB return!

    Craig! Welcome to the show! To answer your question, concur. I have 2 ground rules for Whine - Is there alcohol in it? Can I consume it? If the answer is yes, I will have some. I also do not rule out: - Beer - Vodka - Margaritas - Rum - Whiskey - Gin All of them have their roles and purpose for game threadin.

    Billy was pretty upset that we were loitering in the parking lot, so I did not get his take on the Twins... Once you're in the Twins organization, you're taken care of for life! Billy Smith is no different being a parking lot attendant.

    By the way, has anyone checked in on Loosey since he drank radiator fluid yesterday? Otherwise we may have witnessed the first death in radio! You guys are all witnesses and have my back, right?

    Funny you say that ChiTown. We spent 2 hours this morning yelling "BOB?!" "BOB?! Where are you?!" until Billy the parking lot attendant said we had to vacate the premises... We decided to make lemonade out of lemons and go to the Roadhouse Cafe. I'm now broadcasting LIVE from a bar stool!

    Mickey! Welcome back to the show. Craving walleye on a stick is a perfectly natural thing to do. I crave walleye a lot down here in Texas. No walleye in sight, I tell ya. It's been about a year since I made my way back to the motherland of 10,000 lakes. When I was there, I had walleye for 3 meals! Please ship whatever walleye you have to Texas please!!

    Thanks for calling the show James. When TD gave me the opportunity to visit spring training I knew I had to jump on it! To answer your question, I think DeRosa is a STRONG candidate to sign with the Twins. Him and Punto at the top of the order.... look out AL Central! I also hear that they want another LH starter, just in case if Milone doesn't work out. You'll never believe this, but I ran into David Wells at the Roadhouse Cafe! He's in the worst shape of his life, but assured me that he can still drink beers and pitch with the best of them. He's my dark horse for a late Twins signing...
  12. Vanimal46
    Thanks for the call diehard. I don't think there's anyone on planet Earth that's more PUMPED UP than me about this signing. We were all clamoring for a bunt specialist this off-season, and Punto's the best in the business. Because of this, I'm going to call it - Punto will win the AL MVP! Coming in a close second is Nick's choice, Miguel Sano....
  13. Vanimal46
    Are you sure about that? Per Twitter: @Shredderpunto 8:54 AM "Retirement is not for me. I'm pleased to announce I will be back with the Minnesota Twins! #Piranhas #TwinsTerritory"

    Thanks for the call Platoon. I have not seen Sid yet, but I did catch up with his wife! She's down here in Ft. Myers watching her favorite ball club too! I let the intern get her 15 minutes of fame while I recorded the video... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OAUn3A4QtaI

    He's playing out the longest April Fool's Day joke of all time! Chief takes every old age joke thrown at him in stride... Meanwhile he's the one laughing because he's 45 years old! Well played, Chief. Well played indeed.

    Under. Hoping for a World Series hangover from them this season.

    ANNND Welcome back! To day 2 of Minnesota Twins Whine Line. A couple of margaritas turned into beer, and, well, you know the rest. I'm broadcasting LIVE in the Hammond Stadium parking lot! I think I may be the first media member down here at Spring Training, as it's pretty quiet around these parts. I spoke with Billy, who's a parking lot attendant, where he said "You're too late. They're already gone." There's no possible way I was duped again.... right? It feels like deja vu all over again with the Nigerian Prince... Anyways, let's check in with the regulars on this show and see what they want to talk about today!
  18. Vanimal46
    I didn't realize your mission was so illegal that you needed a Saul Goodman to launder the money! Should I start to "tread lightly", Mr. White?
  19. Vanimal46
    Happy April Fool's Day! Anybody have tricks up their sleeve today for their kids or co-workers? Today is also National Sourdough Day! One of my all-time favorite breads.. Today is also National One Cent Day! The penny has to be the least appreciated coin out there..

    Thanks for the call Platoon. There was a stat released last year that 62% of all TD members lives in their parent's basement. Just be thankful you're one of the 38% contributing in the world! To answer your question, the swing and miss philosophy can be VERY complicated. Especially when you present that philosophy to the wrong people on the team. I think we've all walked in on a meeting or a class we didn't belong to in our day. Is it possible that the coaches walked into the wrong conference room and presented their CHALK TALK findings to the fielders instead of pitchers? Yes, yes it is.
  21. Vanimal46
    When are you going to front the bill? We ALL remember you took home $34 million from Moderator-Gate 2015! All I asked for is a new studio, and I'm still broadcasting from a broom closet!
  22. Vanimal46
    Sydney! Welcome back to the show! I'm glad the network renewed Whine Line for a 2nd season too! Though we were told that we'd get a new studio from Brock... still hasn't happened yet. Can you tell us how the summer is going to go in the US since you already lived through it? To answer your questions, the Twins can ABSOLUTELY get triple digit strikeouts from every position this year. I already have my WS tickets purchased too. The best one-liners in game threads today have to go to North, Chief, Brian, and SampleSizeofOne. All of them are ELITE and at the top of their games.
  23. Vanimal46
    All I know is North built a cabin deep in the woods.. Sometime around February when it was -60 outside he was becoming stir crazy. Posting on every thread "All work and no play makes North a dull boy." Since then.... who knows.
  24. Vanimal46
    It's the best time of the year, guys. Spring Training's about to begin, the intern is hard at work with the new MLB The Show game, and I'm 2 margaritas deep. What's your bold, HOT prediction for the Twins this season?
  25. Vanimal46
    Was this not you the last couple of weeks on TD threads? http://www.mylegalworld.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/07/peeping-tom-eye-hole.jpg
