  1. We're always on the lookout for people to add to the golf crew! Feel free to introduce us sometime!
  2. I hear dad bods are coming back in style! This guy is my hero.
  3. I think this song was playing in his head... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9Fl2xp72QHE
  4. Wow, nice find! I could have looked at that picture the rest of the afternoon and not notice the other dude in the background.
  5. Yeah it's easy to say we'd call security behind a computer screen... In the moment, I think it would depend on who you're attending the game with. If I was with young kiddos, I'd call security so my kids wouldn't have to hear it. If I was with adult friends, I'd be disgusted, but not sure if I'd make the call.
  6. It should be mind-boggling because we're decent people who wouldn't think to do such a thing... And for the 99.9% of fans attending a baseball game, they also would not shout racial epithets. Unfortunately all it takes is that 0.1% to ruin the experience for everyone.
  7. Ah, I didn't know the other side of the story... It was still a very stupid move for him to throw objects on the field. For some reason he appears to be a target for objects thrown on the field, racist remarks, etc... IIRC, he said both him and Hyun Soo Kim were hearing racist chants during the wild card game in Toronto. Along with Kim getting a beer thrown at him that game.
  8. Biggest surprises so far IMO... The White Sox are playing well. A little over their heads at the moment. It sure would have been nice taking a flier on Holland this off-season... The wheels have fallen off quickly for Kansas City. IIRC they were projected to be a ~75-80 win team. Their pitching looks just as bleak as Minnesota. Except Minnesota has an offense to back up a middling pitching staff.... They do not.
  9. You know that North is a true Canadian because he's not wearing gloves in the picture....
  10. Rumor has it, by 2020 they're going to get DSL internet! Really stepping their game up from dial-up...
  11. Sad, really.... This isn't the first time Jones has dealt with racist fans, and frankly I'm not sure why he appears to be a target for drunk and stupid fans. Those 30-60 fans should not be allowed to attend Red Sox games anytime soon.
  12. Found a video of North on his Ski-Doo.... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J5vIAHObxIY
  13. Did you have your Canadian Tuxedo on while riding snowmobile?
  14. Loving your updates Disco Dan! Keep em coming!
  15. How quickly we forget.... Mike Trout from last season says hello!
  16. Just because one long term contract didn't work out doesn't mean that all long term contracts are bad.... Ideally I'd like to sign him until he's 31 or 32 - so a 7 or 8 year contract. Money is negotiable.
  17. Unfortunately the month of April was radio silent for Reed. He was placed on the 7 day DL on April 6th with a right shoulder strain, and we haven't heard a peep about him since. Hopefully he'll get back at it sooner than later.
  18. Hildenberger's end of month stats: 6 appearances, 3.68 ERA 1.36 WHIP in 7.1 IP - 10 K's 1 BB 1 save. He started his first 4 appearances easy breezy without giving up a run. The last 2 outings have been a little rough. Nonetheless, he's been pitching in late, high leverage innings for the Red Wings and doing well!
  19. Garver's end of April stats: 12 games played - .278/.435/.500 with 1 HR 8 RBI along with 9 BB's and 11 K's in 36 AB's Compared to JRM: 11 games played - .235/.297/.412 with 1 HR 3 RBI along with 3 BB's and 7 K's in 34 AB's The playing time is near 50/50, but Garver is winning this battle hands-down at the moment. I do wonder if they'll keep splitting time 50/50, or if Garver will take on more work going forward.
  20. Nice assessment stringer! I'd sure love to see a month where both Sano and Dozier are feeling it at the plate.... Those guys could wreak havoc on opposing pitchers. The pitching is scary.... Don't like a whole lot in the bullpen right now, and they certainly need Erv and Hector the K collector to keep it up in the rotation. This is probably going to be the month where we start seeing turnover in the pen. Hopefully Burdi/Melotakis/Hilldenberger are ready to go.
  21. If it makes you feel better, the Twins are #16 on The Ringer's power rankings! Much like the Common Man on KFAN, they are the best of the lousiest.... and the lousiest of the best!
  22. Paul Molitor 12:23 I love how Miguel Sano is playing right now... Hitting the ball so freaking hard! He does have a .450 BABIP though. Where do you think he'll end up on MVP voting lists? Travis Sawchik 12:24 Paul, he's got a shot to garner some MVP votes as down-ballot candidate .... He's going to get 90-100 walks and hit 35-plus bombs and his skill-set at third base is probably better than most think. We'll have to see what Buxton does, but Sano looks like a star
  23. It was the first question today on FG chat: Kiermaier's Piercing Green Eyes 12:01 Noah Syndergaard had a shoulder issue. Then some things happened. (1) He refused to get an MRI. (2) The Mets allowed him to refuse. (3) Syndergaard is now injured. It is easy to explain (1) and (3), but I'm a little stuck on (2). Can you help? Travis Sawchik 12:02 This situation is a real mess and the shame of it is it probably could have been prevented, or mitigated, by exercising some caution. After all, this is one of the 10 or so most valuable baseball players in the game, right? More on Syndergaard later today at FanGraphs ...
  24. The Mets pitchers are dropping like flies over the last couple of years... Harvey is a shell of his former self, sadly. Matz has his share of shoulder/elbow injuries. Has Wheeler returned from TJ surgery? On paper, they have the deepest list of starting pitchers... Unfortunately injuries are taking their toll on great players.
  25. Yep, and that is the problem. Chelsea Handler is the only one I know that did a weekly program on Netflix. I think a weekly baseball show would work... Maybe Stark hosts the show and has weekly guests talking about the cool things that happened during a particular week during the season.
