    I watched that game 5 with pals at Stub & Herbs- what a game! And that night at the Dome, when the team returned to a full house- wow, one of my favorite sports memories of all time. It was a special time, and a special team. I gotta find those old photos from that rally sometime- if I do, I'll post 'em here. If anybody else has some, please do the same!

    I am so not on board with keeping Molly another year. They need a whole new voice, in every direction in the ML dugout.

    Hee hee.... there's a guy who's serious about having a job next year. Good strokes on both those 2-out doubles! Now, have fingers X'd that Beresford gets his first (and probably only) ML RBI... Oh, wait. Never mind.

    He got jerked around a lot the last couple of years, and that didn't help. But he had a heck of a good shot this year, and didn't come through as well as he needed to. I'm thinking not. Gosh, I love the guy's stuff, and take full credit for inventing a gnarly nickname for him- but I'm thinking he's probably gone.

    I read today that Ventura will be replaced in the Sox dugout next year, by Rick Renteria. Good move for the Sox. Hopefully, Paulie won't be able to manage much next year, either, but somebody else will. Long time fave player, last couple of years, least fave manager.

    Heh.... Me too! Until they got Tiant, then I changed.

    Dean Chance.

    Yeh, me too, for the job he did for us. Strange, though, isn't it, that he's pitching quite well since he got away from the Twins. Threw a real gem the other night, in fact the last 3-4 starts in a row. Can't wait for Meyer to light it up now, too, once he got out from under Molly and Co. I'll just never forgive them for the way they jerked that kid around. I'm glad for him that he's gone.

    Jeepers- just checked in for a moment in time to see a real shortstop make a real play- Dang, it wasn't our guy.

    Vargasii?

    Heh--- Rather glad today I'm in the middle of a workday, and didn't have to suffer through 11 innings for that, like a real fan would. Well, nice to drop in and snipe and snark for a bit. I'm gonna miss y'all during the long hot-stove season. Kind of sucks when you have to fire up that stove by mid-June...
  13. David HK
    Argh- just check in for that leadoff walk and brain-fart steal. Well.....
  14. David HK
    I don't see many games anymore this year, but every time I check in and see him, I think of all the ABs ABW II could have been taking this whole blasted time.
  15. David HK
    Haaaa--- thanks! Yeh, might be deadly, but by that age, who cares? LOLOLOL.....

    The number of his weight doesn't matter that much- it's how he carries it and moves with it, and deals with it to make himself a better fielder. I don't care if he looks Panda-esque out there, as long as he can find better ways to position and prepare himself, and be more accurate with his catching and throwing. He's never going to have great range, and that's what you give up by putting a power hitter at the hot corner, a traditional position. I grew up watching Killebrew share duty between 1st and 3rd. For 40-something HRs nearly every year, yeh, you give up some range. But even in the fog of my latter years, I don't recall Killer kicking the ball around like Sano has done at times. AND-- I've gotta beat this dead-down-to-its-hooves horse one more time-- he wasn't focused on 3B defense during the hot stove time. That RF stuff was crap to begin with, and should never have taken place. Sano should have had his head and his coaching locked in on 3B all winter last year, and shove that OF idiocy. Molly and Co bear a lot of responsibility for the shoddy fielding we got there from Sano this year, by messing him around from the start. So 20 lbs? I don't care. Eat all the pie you want, just take a freakin' ballet class or something, and get that footwork and positioning down.

    I used to get the same feeling about Hrbek. All the talent in the world, and if he just took care of himself a little better.... Hrbie did buckle down to a greater degree than Sano has shown so far, and was a tough slugger and a heck of a good fielder for years and years, but still, it was frustrating watching talent that never reached as far as it could have. Sano hasn't gotten close to where Hrbek was as yet, but a whole world of potential. The lessons are there, he just needs to frickin' heed 'em.

    Yay! Congrats, boys! We made it! That's a good reference point for this article. I went to a lot of games in 82. Yes, we stank up the league, but it was a different feeling, because you could see it comin'. Jeepers-- Hrbek, Gaetti, Bruno (as a player), Frankie V, Timmy Laudner, and a few other pieces of the glory years were just making their debuts. I had a heck of a lot better feeling with 102 losses that year, than this time around. There are lots of promising pieces now, as there were then, but I've got zero trust in the FO and the dugout that they can get those guys to develop into a strong team. Zero. Like the ones after the number "1" in "100."

    Congrats, Twins!

    Well, I gotta go out for a chicken breakfast, I guess. Go Twinkies!
  21. David HK
    Oh, Kennys! Now see if Brandon can get this half-Aquaman Lind. What the heck has he got on?
  22. David HK
    Oh, Miguel-- the phrase tailor-made--- could there be a better example, unless Armani himself came to your house? I wonder if I can switch over to the Great Britain/ Brazil matchup.

    Just tuned in to the game this morning, something was niggling in my mind whilst reading an article on the modern genre of horror movies-- Just in time, in fact to hear Dick say this sentence, "And Brandon Kinztler will be called on to protect a one-run lead." Oooooooooooooooo.... I got chills!
  24. David HK
    Yes-- and his dive also registers on the Richter scale. Nyuk, nyuk.
  25. David HK
    Yes, and I must insist we also use the ears from your avatar, there.
