  1. I gotta echo a lot of these comments on the not-impressed side. I am scratching my head right now, the same way I did the last couple of years looking at Molly's quasi-lineups. I especially gotta echo Dave's sentiment about this team doing all they can to make the fans as disinterested as possible. Empty seats on opening day? Wouldn't surprise me atall. 5000 or less showing up on day 2? It's what they deserve. I gotta echo Mike, too--103 losses, and the same old cast of usual suspects... Come on, for Pete's sake. 'Gee, we sucked more than any team in mlb last year, let's try the same thing again!' And don't EVEN get me started on that Park debacle...
  2. OK, we all know the annual swoon has hit, and hit hard, and at nearly the worst possible time. Bye-bye President's Trophy. Bye-bye home ice through the Western Conf playoffs. And the Ducks, Oilers and Sharks only 1-3 points behind... In my capacity as mind-reader, in addition to a myriad of other wasted talents- I channeled the inner, and sometimes outer thoughts of the crew in this recent photo:

  4. I gotta admit, that one gave me a snot bubble...
  5. I hear what you're saying on those first 2 points- but I'm chuckling to myself thinking of anyone who wouldn't match up well with the White Sox this year... 5th place for them in '17, book it. (at least I dearly hope so!)
  6. Wow, Phil. And 14 K's agin' them swashbucklin Pirates. Hm.
  7. Oh, that was PHIL Hughes? Crikey! I thought for a sec that Luke Hughes had made a return, this time as a "pitcher." That changeup got banged like a fair dinkum dunny door in a hoi wind, mate.
  8. Well, I'm all for Shaggy getting a shot. Love all that I hear about his lively fastball, etc; something the Twinks have been sorely missing. In fact I was licking my chops the last couple-three years about all those young flamethrowers we'd recently drafted, and not a single one of 'em, for reasons of injury or ineffectiveness, have been seen up top so far. Shaggy was probably #1 on my list of those guys. Now, I don't have time to follow things on a daily basis, so I don't know what he's working on for this ST, if it's a change, or another pitch for the repertoire, but all I see is him getting hit hard, and having long-ass innings. (to paraphrase Jim Mora), Closer? C-c-c-closer? You kiddin' me?
  9. Shoot- at my advanced age, left tricep tightness is something to look forward to. It'd prove I still had a left tricep, for one thing... and probably take the mind off all the other things that creak and groan every morning!
  10. Well, this right here makes me more excited than anything- to wit:

  12. I concur in toto. I really, really, dig that edge.
  13. So, the Twins beat the whole United States? Do we get to, like, annex Wisconsin or something now?
  14. I don't know about that game-talk stuff. I think, next stop: Communism.
  15. Sano! Bumaye! (OK, anybody who gets this reference gets a prize) Argh... grounder back to the mound. Never mind.
  16. That is uncanny, because I had tea just 9 hours ago...

  18. Heh.... maybe the Twinks have a chance, then...
  19. Well, pitching staff last in nearly every conceivable category last year-- of course, we should stick with exactly the same guys, and jerk Mr. May around yet another year. Just one more log on the fire- that we should have cleaned out the dugout at the end of last season.
  20. Nyuk, nyuk, no worries- sometimes I think I'm funnier than I really am. Comes from being funny-looking, I suppose!
  21. Here's hoping Molly takes more input into the lineups this year. The past couple it seems he's pulled them out of a hat that looks like this...

  23. Heh... sorry, forgot to include the tongue-in-cheek icon with that post. Wait, there isn't one.... Dang.
  24. Oh, my gosh. You have to feel for that young man. I hope he will recover well, and keep his spirit up in the meantime. Yet, somehow, this is just so... so... Twins.
