  1. Isn't it funny how we all have an opinion on Sano's weight, when we're all starting the season in the worst shape of our lives? I think I ate my body weight in tacos once I was released from Dominican prison!
  2. Always! I knew we could get you to come out from lurking in the shadows.. Welcome back to the show!
  3. I actually took a picture of my plane while it was landing.... http://www.madmind.de/wp-content/uploads/2010/05/airplane.jpg
  4. It feels like the first day of school on this show! Loosey, Denny, Mike, diehard, Chief... Hopefully there won't be any secret video cameras and tape recorders placed in my apartment this year!
  5. Great question, Mike. I'd like to recruit him on the show, but the Negativity Police disappeared off the face of the earth. Some people aren't ready for the bright lights of TD.
  6. Nah, Travis from INDIA-na assured me I was heading in for a packed stadium and a good time!
  7. I don't think it's any secret that ChiTown has some growing up to do.... I've also heard that North has been isolated deep in the Manitoba forest to fight grizzly bears, increase the velocity of beers per game thread, and read up on witty replies for the game threads.
  8. Oh boy.... First call of the year and Loosey is going into a coma from drinking radiator fluid. We're off to a strong start! If you can hear me Loosey, call the poison hotline! Or, you know, someone else might do it. Can't say for sure.
  9. Loosey is in the house! Welcome back to the show!
  10. ANNNNNNNNNND Welcome! To Season 2 of Minnesota Twins Whine Line. I am your host, Vanimal, along with my trusty sidekick, the Intern. I'm posting from a PLANE! You'll never believe this.... I got a great deal on a flight to Fort Myers, FL, along with tickets for the next 7 days to all of the Minnesota Twins spring training games! I'll be posting LIVE from Hammond Stadium by tomorrow. What have you all been doing with yourselves since the last time I spoke to you? My winter break was great! The intern spent all of his time playing MLB The Show so he can fill your brains with all of the HOT takes you'll ever need. I spent 6 weeks in a Dominican prison! Apparently it's not normal to stalk Miguel Sano and shoot rubber bands at him if he picks up a donut. Oh well, you live and you learn. Let's do a role call to see who's all going to be joining us this year! I'm going to mix a margarita and watch the magic happen....
  11. Previously on Minnesota Twins Whine Line..... - We learned it only costs $120k per TD member to buy the Twins! Will it cost less today? - Bark decided to forego speaking to his wife, and enjoy the life of a 25 year old again! What has he done over the winter break? - MODERATOR-Gate 2015! What's going to happen this year? - Bunting every single at-bat = WS Championship!! - Miss Vanimal made an appearance! Will she be back? All of this, and more, on Minnesota Twins Whine Line - SEASON 2!! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QWMKWLY74do
  12. DISCLAIMER: You are about to embark on a radio show full of SCORCHING HOT takes, ridiculous claims, and pure, utter randomness. Stop in, have a drink, call in, don't take things so serious, and HAVE FUN! * Twins Daily and Vanimal are not responsible for the time lost investing in this website or thread.

  13. Okay.... I'm not sure why we're going down this path. In my OP you responded to, my point was that Ortiz has mentored Vargas, sees a similar skill-set and the same road blocks that Ortiz experienced while he was with the organization. He's sticking up for him, as any mentor/big brother/manager would do.
  14. Ish. Mayo on fries just sounds disgusting.... I can deal with ketchup on fries, but personally like to mix ketchup and mustard together. Otherwise, honey mustard is fantastic... ranch, or BBQ sauce also works.
  15. As far as David Ortiz commenting about Vargas, from what I've read he's taken a mentoring role with Vargas since his days in A ball... He probably sees a lot of similarities with their skill-set, and sees the same road blocks Vargas now has that he experienced as well. It all worked out for Ortiz anyways..... For those that were more aware of the team than me in 1999, why did they leave Ortiz in AAA basically all year? Just looking at the stats, I can see why he would be frustrated if he mashed 30 HRs with a .1000 OPS...
  16. Thinking back I do recall prom being more in the middle of May, and your story is dead on about 16-18 year olds figuring out how to order food at fancy restaurants, Mike. I'm sure I was one of those kids that ordered a Mountain Dew with my steak that night....
  17. Today is National Prom Day! Man, is it really that time of year already? Let's flash back to the times when you were in prom... Slow dances, hands on your partner's hips, no funny business here! Today is also National Tater Day! Growing up in the midwest, I thought meat and potatoes were the best option for a meal. Now that I'm in Texas, I realize I'm very wrong. Tex-Mex has changed my life... Put anything in a tortilla and I will eat it. Today is also National Clams on the Half Shell Day! I prefer clams steamed, but has anyone tried alternative ways to cook them that are good? Finally, today is National Bunsen Burner Day! Brings me back to the chemistry days in high school....
  18. He's done okay, but has mainly been thrown out there in low leverage situations. He's trending in the wrong direction as far as letting inherited runners to score, even when they're giving him the ball in low leverage situations. He's probably going to be fine in the long-relief/mop-up role, but are the Twins ever going to trust him in more crucial situations? I don't know.
  19. Over. They have the best rotation in the majors, and I think Lindor takes another step toward stardom.
  20. Most difficult guy to predict on the team... I'd like to see a platoon between him and Arcia at DH to start, and see who gets hot. I'll predict him to hit 15-20 HRs..

  22. Pictured: Tyler Duffey at local watering hole in Rochester, NY. March 30, 2016 at 3:00 PM. Duffey: "Ssstupid Nolasco beat me in the rotation? REALLY? Oh REAL mature Tererery. I was the SAVIOR late last season, and now I'm a cast-off. I'll show him. I'll, I'll, oh I don't know. Throw a change-up at his computer monitor. Wait..... wait a second. Are you a reporter? Whatever, QUOTE ME. I'm Tyler freaking Duffey."
  23. You are the winner, Platoon.
