    They wouldn't possible trade him, but Royce needs to suck it up next term. It didn't take him long to go from Jeter Jr. to Danny Valencia in my eyes. Attitude included.

    This is exactly what the Dodgers did to win that series. Their scouting indicated that if they put pressure on, put the ball in play, the yanks would muck it up somehow. As a team on the bubble, I don't know why you wouldn't be at least competent in the all-around game.

    As an old fart, this lack of a basic baseball skill is a disgrace. You don't have to worry (unless you're in the low minors) about making rent, or the grocery bill. You're not asked to be a student-athlete and keep up in class at the same time. Your only focus is playing ball. Why in the hell would you not have the desire within yourself, if not as a team mandate, to hone your game? Bunting is back in vogue as a strategy, and once again, the Twinks are well behind the curve. The old Hollywood stars got schooled in all areas, singing, dancing, acting, and could carry any of those skills with competence. Now we're down to NFL-style one-trick ponies. Makes me burn. Get a damn coach to tour those minors and get people down to the task. Don't we still have a HOFér roaming around somewhere?

    For me, the Less Evil Empire won. That was a heck of a final game, too! In my heirarchy of hate-watching, I always root for the greater evil to lose in front of their own fans. It was pretty sweet to watch all those pinstriped nimrods eat ****! 🤣⚾😂 That stuff aside, no way even at full strength do our Twins stay on the field with either of those teams. Got some work to do. Are the pohlads gone yet, or will that be tomorrow?

    This is the case around the world, but that's the nature of American sport- soccer, rugby, etc, have non-stop action, not breaks every few moments where somebody tries to sell you some beer or a truck. Therefore, all during the broadcast the logos on the uniforms appear constantly. When I first started working overseas, it peeved me off, but I soon caught on. For example- NFL game: 3:10 minutes of action: 11 MLB: with the new rules, 2:36 action: 18 minutes Soccer + rugby pretty similar: 1:55, action: 57 minutes Heck, even my local rugby club gear (even the pre-game warm-up kit!) is covered in sponsor logos, and we're never on TV! I don't even know what most of these businesses are, except for the one on the back of the shorts: "Taboo"- a Filipino music and dance club in the heart of steamy Wan Chai! 😂🤣😂

    It's something of a hate-watch world series, but golly, those were 2 dang good ballgames! Heh... I enjoyed Yamamoto + interpreter post-game interview. Nice to know baseball cliches transcend any language! ⚾😂

    Likewise. I guess I gotta go with the Lesser-Evil-Empire. Plus, I used to live there, and found a path in an old neighborhood nearby where I could park my bike and sneak thru a gap in the fence for a beautiful LA evening with a Dodger Dog and those Garlic Fries, omg.... After the game, down the hill, thru the fence, mount the bike, then home to South Pasadena about 10 minutes later. 😂

    Ahhh, fooey on that Luis Gil guy. We got prime Jake Cave, with a robust .708 OPS, which was far more valuable than any potential staff ace.
  9. David HK
    Speed is one big priority, to be sure. But in-house candidates far outshine those listed. Just as an example, Keirsey should have been up all year, and Margot should never have darkened our doorway.
  10. David HK
    and again-- it's a clicking error!
  11. David HK
    oops- somehow this got posted again.
  12. David HK
    Heck of a battle Cle-Yanks today! The only thing that would have made it better would have been to hear Yankee-boi Bob Costas eat ****. Also, even if it was the Dodgers doing it, how nice it was to see both NY teams lose! 😂
  13. David HK
    The trouble this year was, too many days after the AS break were dogs-at-the-park day. Except most of the dogs were on the field and in the dugout. Woof.
  14. David HK
    I would drool over Santander in this lineup. That would take $$$$$, so probably off the table, but hey, once A-Rod and his crew take over in a few days, it could happen. Oops, sorry, I was so excited by the possibility of no more pohlads I got carried away... 🤣😅😂
  15. David HK
    Please, God, not another yankees/dodgers series. 🙈 Or even worse- yankees/mets 🙀
  16. David HK
    Yes. Royce is a prime example. For god's sake, get him on a fking yoga program, improve his flexibility, so those connective tissue injuries are less likely to happen. Something- anything but what they're doing! And wow, it didn't take long for the slump-proof superhero to turn into a whining excuse-maker as his months-long "not a slump" dragged on. And you and Rosenthal are right- it is a total organizational failure, led by the failed silver-spoon-fed son from Central Casting. Wee Pohlad Jr. is like donny jr and eric and jared rolled up in one. What part of organizational behavior 101 is announcing you're going to tank our only successful season in 30 years before it even starts? Incompetent and tone deaf, what a great combination. Add to that "talent" evaluators in the front office. FFS, Mahle, DeScalfani, Topa, and adding Margot instead of the likes of Tommy Pham, or even bringing back Solano. Trevor Richards, anyone? Our one and only deadline deal? FFS. And wow, is there a secret vortex in the Twinks dugout that leads one to setting up lineups-by-dartboard and boneheaded BP management? Molly did it before him, and Rocco doubled down. The way we tanked so completely down the stretch requires wholesale changes. Please, make that rumoured sale happen. I'm sick of living through the second Calvin Griffith era.

    Sad for the devastation of the area, but hey, at least it didn't spare the only stadium that was truly uglier than the old Dome.
  18. David HK
    I'm for anybody coming out of our Central. I wouldn't even mind seeing the Tribe finally win one. And of course, the only way I'd root for the NL team is if the Evil Empire was the AL rep. On that note, win or lose, KC is playing the Yanks tough. It's nice to see a team take the field against them without pee stains covering their uniform pants, you know, like some teams we know...
  19. David HK
    Kind of awesome that we need to sweep the O's, and have the White Sox sweep the Tigers.. LOL... 🤣
  20. David HK
    🤣😅😂 "Liquor Boy..." 😅🤣😅 Thanks, Stu. We all needed that. Now where's my can?
  21. David HK
    True, but the saddest thing about it is that the housecleaning needs to start in the owners' suite. Eff the Pohlads.
  22. David HK
    He could still spin a shutout against this moribund crew.
  23. David HK
    Compliment taken anyway. 😅
  24. David HK
    Wow. Collapse complete. See you next year, maybe.
  25. David HK
    Jeepers, are all these Marlins pitchers named "Cy?" 🤔
