    Ditto on the Men-Dozier reference. Just... why..... What th'.... Aw, heck.

    Ahhh, the night games on the coast. Long ago memories of the smuggled transistor hidden under the pillow, with the surreptitious ear phone in the pillow-side ear, and feigning restful sleep. And that late, sometimes could get a Twin Cities station, with the actual pre-game show, and post-game, too, if you were still awake. All those exotic sounding ads in between for things that City People buy, instead of the fertilizer promos and livestock prices during the inning breaks, and no post-game, cuz we gotta rush right into the farm report... Signal fading in and out while the Twinks battled the California Angels, (or Seattle Pilots!), and nodding off sometime around the 5th or so with that giant earplug cracking away. And now, at my desk in bloody Hong Kong, catching a gambling-site feed from Vladivostok. Tempora mutantur, Jack. Tempus fugit, too.

    Well, I gotta admit, I'm not liking the Buxton move. I hope I eat these words, but... Anyhow- HAW HAW HAW!!! The Sox are losin'! AGAIN! HAW HAW HAW HAW HAW!!!!! It ain't such a bad day.
  4. David HK
    I'm just... I can't..... Ach, whatever. This team's (to quote the great Joe Angel) "brain-thrust" seems to have gray matter leaking out their ears.

    River, that was a nice tribute to those guys whose names crackled out of my radio on summer nights long ago, thanks for that. Also for observation #3- see, that's just my problem with day games- they start when I've gone to bed, and end before I wake up, so I have these lucid moments of posting at midnight, and 6am, which too often result in quizzical comments on the TD board. Now I understand, that it's God's Own Flashlight illuminating my thoughts. Huzzah.
  6. David HK
    Naw, certainly not character. Performance, and willingness of a certain manager to continually rely on that under-performance in key spots in the lineup and during the game.

    Well, it's after midnight here, and won't be awake for the game thread, but I just thought I'd throw this in-- Per MLB.com: • The Twins are hoping to have back two banged-up players who have avoided the disabled list. Third baseman Trevor Plouffe came out of Friday's game with a bone bruise in his right knee, and catcher Kurt Suzuki was held out Sunday after being taken out of Saturday's game when a pitch hit him in the mask, although he was cleared of a concussion. Ummm, that's OK, guys, why don't you take a little more of a rest? Don't want anybody to strain anything coming back too soon. Seriously, have some more clubhouse cold cuts, pile it high, make a real big sandwich, and just relax and enjoy the game! (and maybe a few more in the coming week).

    Gee, that was great- a happy surprise indeed. I'd almost forgotten that little stretch (back in April). It's perplexing though, did that article from April 17 appear on MLB recently? I mean, they did do a good job that particular week. All the other weeks, well... Heck, when I saw "Twins bullpen honored," I thought- hmmm, for the proper level of AC, or wall paint scheme, or selection of snacks available for the visiting team, or what?
  9. David HK
    Better curve ball, too.
  10. David HK
    I concur, and also disagree. He's not Molitor. Concur. Isn't a very good reason. Disagree. Anybody who's not Molitor is fine by me. Except Gardy.
  11. David HK
    That's it. I'm gonna call Jeps RD from now on.
  12. David HK
    Oh, thank you, baseball gods---- No thank you, Molly and Jeps, for that heartburn to start my Monday. Cripe, it's barely 7 o'clock... OK, well, the rest of the team gets drumsticks and such. Jeps and Molly, you can share this:
  13. David HK
    Another one to hang on Molly, keeping Jeps as the closer. Cripe, why do I have the feeling something bad here is just inevitable? Edited: my feed must be slower than y'all's-- TGI Over...
  14. David HK
    I was thinking to myself, just switching on the game- I'd probably bet any money Jeps would face the tying run.;;;; Yup.
  15. David HK
    Wow, DP! Whew......
  16. David HK
    Well, a bit of a treat- getting ready for work, and hoping Jeps can finish his shennaigans and maybe get a couple of outs before being relieved, with maybe still a lead
  17. David HK
    Wow, what an ending- I'm 'liking' all post-game posts, sort of virtually, since I'm outta 'like bullets.' Reflections- Sad for Zuke to go down like that again, but the only silver lining there is Molly's now going to be FORCED to play Centeno. Somebody, please, God, anybody, get that closer role, but Jepsen. Give him the 7th, or even the 8th, and put Abad in there for now. (Although if Jeps pitches then, there probably won't be anything left to save). Good D and good fire by Dozier in the late innings. Put him back in the lineup right away, but NOT IN THE GODFORSAKEN 2 HOLE!!! And- what a treat to enjoy nearly a whole game with the TD crowd today. Cheers! (drains last of growler, smashes bottle into laptop in victory- after posting this)

    Ahhh, whatta time to run outta likes--- Chicken dinnah, boys--
  19. David HK
    I swear to God. I've been a Twinkie fan since I was 6, back in 1965. Played peewee ball, and all the rest, even old man ball in LA in the 2000's- and we all know how wacky that can get. I have never seen the like. Never. And I'm glad we came out on the plus side of a play like that---
  20. David HK
    O. M. G. There is no other way this game could possibly end in our favor. No other way.
  21. David HK
    Heh.... the snark is with you, my friend.
  22. David HK
    The only question with Jeps these days is- will he merely meltdown, or completely implode?
  23. David HK
    Still a little life left in this one- and I'm gonna need every drop.

    Oh, thanks, Dick. A 9th-inning battle, and a lead, for a change, and you have to go and tell everybody who's pitching tomorrow. #BuzzKill PLUS-- right after that, he has to say "Jepsen will try to protect a one-run lead..." I need another growler.
