  1. I think a more effective strategy for this communication plan is to send text messages instead. Since, you know, a majority of fan injuries are a result of them taking selfies and posting them on instagram.
  2. Our most recent signings of Runzler, Kintzler, and Boshers are absolutely quantity signings. There's no proven MLB quality in that.
  3. Do the Twins have a track record of promoting bullpen arms from AA to the MLB? Or are we hoping for a fast track of those guys getting hot for 5-6 weeks, promote to AAA, get hot for another 5-6 weeks, and be on the MLB club by June/July?
  4. I think it's just fans re-living their irrational prospect love for Benson 5-6 years ago. I agree with your assessment that he's done nothing to deserve this praise and a spot on the 40 man roster.
  5. Finally, a day that we can work with here. Today is National Chocolate Covered Anything Day. So let your freak flag fly and dip anything you want in chocolate! I'm going to get after some chocolate covered strawberries myself. It's also National Barbie and Barney Backlash Day. A day where you can pretend they do not exist, and I'm sure those with young children or had young children would cherish this day.
  6. Molitor's quote at the end of relief pitching "....It’s amazing how many free agents are still out there.” I'm sure there are plenty of options are out there. I get the feeling that the Twins are still looking for quantity, and not quality in their bullpen choices... I also feel that May is best suited for the rotation, and they're keeping him in the bullpen purely for need. Like Nick said, why couldn't they sign someone to take May's bullpen innings instead?
  7. I agree and I'd think Claeys would agree. He only has 3 years, and I'd say even less, to prove that he can be a Big 10 head coach. If I were him, I wouldn't waste precious time on a QB who's proven time and time again that he's not the answer.
  8. Pictured: TR: "Well Darin, we sure do miss having you around the clubhouse. How would you like to come back and try out for the team?" DM: "Are you being serious Terry? Or are you just drunk?" TR: "No, no. We really do want you back to compete for the 4th OF opening. I'm just happy I found you working at this bar!" http://images.mstarz.com/data/images/full/40125/i_wont_be_home_for_christmas_promo_1-jpg.jpg?w=600
  9. Good news for the Gophers this weekend when QB Seth Green committed to the team. Finally, we may have someone who can usurp Leidner of his starting spot. I don't read into how many stars a particular recruit has (he's 4 stars), but any time we can win a recruiting war over schools like Oregon, that's a big win for the program.
  10. Hard pass. I desperately wanted him 6 years ago when he was available at the trade deadline. Not so much these days when he hasn't pitched in a year and a half.
  11. Pictured: TR returns to 1 Twins Way after finding and signing Buddy Bosher http://farm3.staticflickr.com/2073/2132148736_685535202b.jpg
  12. Well there's another problem you're not noticing Nick. Buddy is throwing with his right hand! Did we just sign a Pat Venditte type?? I certainly hope so.....
  13. Annnnd welcome back! To an EMERGENCY edition of Minnesota Twins Whine Line. Chief made the call saying that one of our loyal owners, Brock, was going insane talking about TR's past performance. Well good news Brock, we don't care about that topic on this show. It's all about HOT sports takes. So much has gone on since myself and the intern checked in with you. Zack Jones... is GONE! How are we going to move on from such a loss? I'll tell you how. By signing a left handed reliever named Buddy!! Now, it's tough to find the deep stats about Buddy, but we did find a good bio about him: - Buddy sticks to the 4 main food groups: Candy, Candy Canes, Candy Corn, and Syrup - He's a family friendly person. If he ever has a bad outing on the mound, the worst thing he calls himself is a cotton-headed ninnymoggins - Smiling is his favorite thing to do - Except singing loud for all to hear to spread Christmas cheer Here's the latest picture we were able to find of Buddy: http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-J9bOtBZixMk/US-5F1ztmBI/AAAAAAAABKQ/TFvBxlLL3uk/s1600/Buddy-the-Elf.jpg Let's open up the phone lines to see who wants to talk about the newest acquisition of the Twins. You're on Minnesota Twins Whine Line, hello?
  14. Already have a title for Fargo season 3: Fargo : Milligan's Mulligan The story of a man who slashes the bottom line, and slits people's throats.
  15. Bob Tewksbury was a surprising name to read on his list. One of my earliest memories as a Twins fan was going to a game in the dome with my family, and Tewksbury was on the mound. I may have been 7 or 8 years old at the time. I don't know why that name has stuck with me all of this time, or how good he really was.
  16. If I had the choice, I'd go Lemon Squares >>>> Lemon Cupcake, but I'm not picky. I will eat anything lemon.
  17. Bravo! What a spectacular season of television. Kirsten Dunst has an award winning performance to end the show. I wish there was a better finish for Milligan TBH... He should be crushing heads, not introduced to the corporate world of accounting.
  18. I would have put my money on Cueto landing with the Dodgers after they struck out on Grienke. Now, on paper at least, the Dodgers have the 3rd best rotation in the division. It appears that the times are a changin' in the NL West.
  19. I would say that's a huge bargain compared to what Grienke and Price got. According to MLB Trade Rumors, Cueto also has a buy out after 2 years, where he can explore the open market again in his age 32 season.
  20. Now that I'm officially eliminated from the championship game in my traditional fantasy football league, I'm planning on giving daily fantasy a try. Would you say DraftKings is the site to use? Heard anything good about Fan Duel?
  21. Season 2 finale tonight!! Can't wait!
  22. I think the Twins have made some strides in regards to C. People may not be happy with giving up Hicks for Murphy, but he certainly has a higher floor than what Herrmann or Fryer could provide. In regards to that potential outfield, I will quote from the movie Home Alone. "Buzz, your girlfriend. WOOF."
  23. http://www.atlredline.com/new-york-judge-orders-fanduel-and-draftkings-to-shut-do-1747531690 Daily Fantasy shut down temporarily in New York. Your thoughts?
  24. I hope you're wrong too, but who knows at this point. Right now the Twins are what, maybe a shade above $100 million?
  25. Touche, Seth. I guess my perception the last few off-season is different than the reality.
