  1. Jeepers, this Paxton guy, what a stud. Hey! He's from the U of Kentucky! Same as Andrew Albers, and Alex Meyer, and Taylor Rogers! Hmmm. Did we.... maybe..... get the wrong guys?
  2. From the album: 2017

  3. One or both of those guys should have been the first call all along.
  4. Heh.... I had the tools on from time to time, and one game, I was perhaps a little animated back there. The ump gave me a little caution to simmer down between batters at one point-- and I quote-- "You've been jumping around like a fart in a box."
  5. Well, they showed the cojones to dip into AA- I would vote for Curtiss. But I'd rather see him bumped to Roch, to face some guys with MLB experience, and see how that goes. So my new vote is Busenitz. PS- chaps my a** that he gave up the big hit to Valencia.
  6. Come on, now, high heat, pop him up, ground ball--- over. edit--- Got the high heat part done... (new emoji)
  7. Exam week- had to step away for a while. Glad Hector already gave me good reason not to have to worry about following the game too closely. Good thing, too, he's giving the young guys a chance to audition! Go, Randy! Watch that ERA tick its way down!
  8. Awesome! Only 33 pitches in the 1st. Now, where did that new emoji go?
  9. Nothing to worry about. Only Cano, Cruz, and Seager to follow, with guys on base.
  10. Ahhh... nothing like a nothing 1st inning, followed by a lead-off walk. Uh-oh, and #OldFriend Danny V up.
  11. Just for the heck of it-- On the way to work, I pass the old HK airport, the big silver thingy in the harbor photo above. Never had the pleasure of flying into that one, as it closed in 1998. But, in the middle of a majorly-crowded big city, with big hills on both sides, and a sharp turn required right before you land- I'm just amazed at the skill of landing one of those 747's there, back in the day. The final approach took them right over one of the most densely-packed metro areas in the entire world- Kowloon City. The buildings could be no more than 6 stories there, and it seemed like the planes could take the laundry right off the lines as they came in. Lots of great cockpit videos out there, but here's a couple of my faves:
  12. It's already 8AM tomorrow here, another beautiful day in the Harbour. Do you guys want me to tell you how the game turned out, so you don't have to stay up so late?
  13. From the album: 2017

  14. From the album: 2017

  15. Man, that Zack is my boy! Out there raising heck on the bases, and getting key hits- I want to see that kind of excitement in the Cities soon.
  16. The Wright fit? Not in that uni-- sheesh....
  17. I think we are already there.
  18. From the album: 2017

  19. "Since 2010, the Twins have selected three college players in the first round, right-handed pitcher Alex Wimmers, shortstop Levi Michael and left-handed pitcher Tyler Jay." My question to this method is, "How's that workin' out for ya?" The last 10 years or so, maybe the only #1's that have been or look promising are Bux, Gordon (Looking good so far), and Berrios-- all HS picks. Oh, yes, and some cat named Aaron Hicks back in '08. I seem to remember a guy by that name... There's no guarantee a #1 pick will pan out, but Geez Louise, the Twinks' record of #1's have really not been too productive in this millenium so far, 2001 excepted.
  20. Would that be a dilemma, or a conundrum?
  21. OMG, and it would be a sin to miss those garlic fries.... *slobber...*
  22. That ridiculous scene is from when Disney owned the team. They were all about cross-marketing their theme park and movie crap with the ball team. That's why they had those ugly-as-sin periwinkle uni's with the angel wings on them, while they were trying to promote video rentals of "Angels in the Outfield," and then when they opened the "Disney's California Adventure" section of their theme park across the freeway, those stupid rocks and trees appeared in the outfield. I was living there when Moreno bought the team, and changed the jerseys to look like an actual MLB franchise, and I thought then, that maybe he'd get those stupid, senseless rocks out of there, too, but maybe they were just too heavy.
  23. Just like too much garlic. Impossible.
