  1. Let's add one more, and make it five, just for the day- How about that DOZIER!!!! Dead center home run in the ASG- good on ya, young man!
  2. I think it will be a close call. We've seen the comfort level of Sano, real resurgance from Mauer, Hicks, and a little life from Santana lately. The starters, aside from Pelf, seem poised to continue giving the team a chance to win, as long as we can avoid our dumpster-fire bullpen. The questions for the grind of the 2nd half, through the dog days and beyond, are: Which are the "real" Mauers, and Hickses, etc? The ones we've seen lately, or those we've seen earlier? Like others pointed out- can we remain relatively healthy? Can the kids keep it up, and make adjustments as the league adjusts to them? For the rest of this year, we still don't have SS sorted, and definintely need a C to spell Suzuki- maybe hit a little, and throw out some GD runners for a change, so I see those critical positions as big question marks. For the front office: We Need BP Help! And it looks like we have to go outside- and NOT 60-year-olds like Scott Atchison kind of help. The Tigers just snatched up Feliz, and he had a good first outing. (98 mph- couldn't we use that in the pen?) If we don't make the playoffs, I won't be gutted, because none of us expected to be in this position at Break-time. But I do remember a certain 85-win team that made a lot of noise in the late 80's.... and that always gives me hope.
  3. And by gum, (says the man born in the 50's), those classic uniforms- That's what a baseball uni looks like. I hate those pajamas they're wearing this year.
  4. Ahhhh... 6 AM on a Sunday, after a beach day and massive Indian food last night- no wonder I woke up early enough to catch the Twinkies spanking the Tiggers again--- even trying to have a little faith in Boyer right now. Am I dreaming?
  5. I was in 1st grade then. '65 it was. I still remember that game- it surely was a season- defining moment. This game has that same feeling. Good on ya, Curt!
  6. Please, please pardon mte French, but what an effing travesty to even have a royal in the 'final five', after the BS all star vote. Who decided that? Who is responsible? What bull****. To F a guy like Dozier out of a well- deserved spot, for a guy who's not even in the top 10 of many of hos positional categories...Fk .
  7. Where's my chicken- I need that dinnah! Good job, boys!
  8. CBU rugby update- NZ 12- Samoa 3 at halftime. First 5 minutes, already more action and more hits than the average entire NFL game. Had to come back to watch the new lefty--- not bad, so far.
  9. From the album: Moto

  10. OK, I'm putting my faith in Gibby and the rest that they can hold this lead. Makes it safe to switch over and watch the All Blacks vs. Samoa.
  11. Yeh, he's been looking like he's worn out all day, missing pitches, etc. It may be fork time for him, too.

  13. RBI. Man, he looks SO much more comfortable and confident at the plate than the other young'uns we've brought up so far. Exceedingly small sample size, but I'm going out on a limb here, and saying it looks like the young man is up here to stay.
  14. Best of both worlds today- Twinkies playing winning ball, and Thorne and Palmer on the broadcast. Come on now, young man! Do some more damage!
  15. Our strategy of making the other team play White Sox baseball seems to be working so far.
  16. ...and, another one. I think Wieters got crossed up, looked like he was thinking fastball. Still, one heck of an entertaining play for Twinkie fans!
  17. Pretty good stuff early on. Keep it up, lads.
  18. Am I wrong, or did it look like DanSan stood there and watched his ground ball for a second?
  19. Heh... nearly got a snot bubble watching this. All those presidential campaigns gearing up, take note- Now THAT'S the way to pimp your candidate!
  20. O's postgame- (former Twin) Rick Dempsey nearly apoplectic. They're blaming Paredes for whiffing in the 10th, also for the DP in the 7th. That's why they lost. Was nice hearing Gary Thorne and Palmer call the game, tho-
  21. Also, this- which is the kind of thing I see on other game thread sites too often. (Esp the White Sox) Sparkling dialogue, erudite and invigorating. And the wit- for the love of God, the wit! I'm glad our little Midwestern thread ain't a steaming pile of this.
  22. Just trolling the O's thread-- always like to get a 2nd opinion... apparently there's some BP hate over there, too, despite 2 RP All-Stars.
