    Today is also National Butterscotch Pudding Day! Grind up some graham crackers, put it on the bottom of a bowl, pour that pudding on top, and store in the refrigerator until it's cool. Top with cool whip and voila! Dessert!

    Plus, we're approaching prime Sports Bar time! We need everyone here when the threads become toxic with off-season beating dead horses topics.

    Hee-HAR! I'm ready to find me some buried treasure! http://images5.fanpop.com/image/photos/25200000/Alan-in-Dodgeball-A-True-Underdog-Story-alan-tudyk-25232920-640-480.jpg

    Kershaw is amazing and a true pleasure to watch on the field. It's a sight to behold when someone has that dominant of stuff to go with impeccable control of his pitches.
  5. Vanimal46
    Yeah 40 HR players don't grow on trees... But as we've seen this year, it doesn't matter much when the pitching is this bad.
  6. Vanimal46
    Sigh... That will most likely be true. A guy can still dream that a blockbuster trade will happen this off-season with Dozier included.
  7. Vanimal46
    Yeah that's true. There's a significant difference between a Terry Collins/Joe Maddon who's been doing this for 12-13 years, and Molitor who's just learning on the fly.

    Those were his 2016 SS numbers. Quite frankly his numbers aren't all that different from 2015. Slight uptick in the routine plays from 96.1 (2016) to 98.5% (2015) and a decline in the likely plays 69.2% (2016) 58.3% (2015)

    62 year old Joe Maddon, 67 year old Dusty Baker, 67 year old Terry Collins, and 52 year old Jeff Banister all say hello!

    From the same column: Fun with Numbers Mike Trout has 140 extra-base hits since the start of last season. Brian Dozier has 152 extra-base hits since the start of last season.

    This is from the Sunday Notes column: "Brian Dozier’s home run explosion has come as a somewhat of a shock. Not that he hasn’t shown an ability to clear fences. The Twins second baseman came into the year having averaged 23 home runs over the past three seasons. But 41 and counting in mid-September, including 13 in August alone? No one expected that. Even Dozier is surprised, but only to an extent. This is how he responded when I caught up to him at Target Field last weekend: “I had 28 last year, so I have pop,” said Dozier. “Had you told me before the year that I was going to hit 30, I probably would have said, ‘Probably so.’ But that extra level… they come in bunches. When I hit the three in one game (on September 5), Jim Thome texted (Twins director of media relations) Dustin Morse. He said ‘Tell Dozier not to get used to this. Give Dozier a thing of bananas; they come in bunches.’ That’s the way it works. You hit five or six in a week and your home runs skyrocket.”"

    Out of curiosity I wanted to see Escobar's numbers from Fangraphs and compare it to Polanco... Routine: 96.1% (of 203) ----- Polanco: 96.9% (of 98) Likely: 69.2% (of 13) ----- Polanco: 80% (of 5) Even: 33.3% (of 9) ------ Polanco: 42.9% (of 7) Unlikely: 0% (of 1) ------ Polanco: 25.0% (of 4) Remote: 0% (of 9) --------- Polanco: 0% (of 12) Impossible: 0% (of 2) ---------- Polanco: 0% (of 3) Over the same amount of reps, perhaps Polanco's numbers regress. But just looking at it, there doesn't appear to be too far of a decline in defense if they do choose Polanco to handle SS duties. I may be analyzing this wrong, so feel free to correct if I am.

    I didn't see The People vs. OJ Simpson, but I can't imagine it was better than Fargo... Bokeem Woodbine also got robbed for the Outstanding Supporting Actor Award...

    I believe you are officially a 1st ballot HOF if and/or when you decide to hang up the keyboard fingers for good.

    Josh Smoker looks like a guy you don't want to meet in a dark alley....

    Are we allowed to do this on Zubaz night? http://37.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lkqm0enAZt1qh59n0o1_500.gif

    You're telling in the first full game I've watched in weeks, I get to see Schafer AND Buddy?? I can't contain my excitement!!
  19. Vanimal46
    Perhaps I just jinxed that.....
  20. Vanimal46
    Nobody wants to jinx this.
  21. Vanimal46
    Sully?
  22. Vanimal46
    Bark gave me sincere advice that I took to heart! Be confident, look him in the eyes, and simply ask him to dinner. If he says yes, it will be the dinner or event you plan after dinner that will win him over. It can be as simple as a spontaneous walk through the park... If you two are having fun together, ask him out again! Who knows, maybe he's afraid to initiate the conversation! Teenage/early 20's guys are blind to a lot signals that someone likes them...

    De Aza was a guy I wanted in last season's offseason plan... Whoops!
  24. Vanimal46
    Too early to pinch hit for Murphy? I mean, the bases are loaded here...
  25. Vanimal46
    Is everyone else trying to get their honey-do list done right now?
