  1. Jeepers, catching up after- what's up with all the injuries! Royce, what hard, hard luck! And Gray goes down today too? And Bux? Where did he get tagged? Hopefully he's not banged up again, too! Good stuff from Gordo and Larnach- single, double, HR- wow! Think the only way that big lad could get a triple though, is if he breaks a couple of tackles between 2nd and 3rd... ?
  2. Good old Central, back on track. Maybe another arm wouldn't hurt...
  3. He has me sitting on the edge of my seat yelling at him to throw anything, at all, like sometime today...
  4. Well, he's surely improved our time of possession. ?
  5. A good observation. But Gawd Almighty, how many more seasons does Lewis need to be held back? Miranda (thankfully) hasn't had to deal with anywhere near the same kind of setbacks Lewis has.
  6. For God's sake. Everybody and their brother are either hurt or in Mendoza-range, and there've been a run of Molitor-level lineups of late. But sure, let's take the one guy who's actually producing and exciting the fans, and stuff him back east. It's not like he wouldn't be learning anything watching CC every day up close, and spelling him at SS when necessary. Oh, and let's take that other promising kid who's utterly looking lost, flailing at the plate, and costing us chances to win actual games, and keep him up on this side of the river. Because, let's not try to win any MLB games along the way, or anything.
  7. Pffft... Not a problem. I'm sure somebody in the office has Drew Butera's number in their rolodex.
  8. I was always hoping for Ozzie. There's lighting a fire. Can you imagine how he'd love to stick it to the White Sox?

    Well, I needed a new one- Too much stuff in the other one.

  12. Oh, thanks a lot, Seth. Now I'm gonna be grumpy all day remembering that Bruno-for-Tom Herr trade. What a travesty that was.
  13. I like this kid even more, knowing about the Dizzy cheeks.
  14. Man, these recaps bring back a hundred old memories! Dean Chance, Perry and Kaat, Dave Boswell- the Twins were loaded with good pitchers in 69, as well as that early version of the Bomba Squad. Boswell was my fave pitcher that year, 'til Billy took him out behind the old Lindell AC that night in Detroit. He missed about 3 weeks, but still won 20 games, even after having his 6'3" a** handed to him by a pint-sized old man... What a year that was.
  15. The 70s, as a Twins fan, was a lo-o-o-o-o-ong decade. There were bright spots, here and there, 76, 79, but for the most part, it was just as you said. Killer, Tony O, others got old, and Calvin let all the stars go for a pittance. But still, we never gave up!
  16. Jeepers, how many of those highlights from other teams in that video were against the Twins?!? And how about those attractive White Sox / Carpet Mart softball uniforms? Remember the shorts?
  17. Yeh, that was in the lean years, when it was a crapshoot for the AL to have to pick one guy from the Twins... I wonder if they actually used a dartboard?
  18. I would add Allan Anderson to the list, too. His 1988 season, where he led the AL in ERA was awesome, and he backed it up in 89 too, with another solid year. But then, like Keyser Söze in Usual Suspects... Poof! He was gone...

  20. I love these, Seth. Great blasts from the past with names that still stick in the memory, even though I can't remember lunch... Heh... Steve Braun- he was just one of those "professional hitters." Always ready with the stick, and an awesome pinch hitter too. He was the 70s version of Randy Bush in the next decade. Never really a full-time role, but a most-time role, and a heck of a bat off the bench. And I, too, gotta go with Disco Dan in the OF.
  21. Heh... TK always had a bit of a thing for Portugal. I always liked the guy, but he was a young Cali dude, and I'm sure he got under TK's skin just by being himself. I was sad to see him get traded away for the proverbial bag o' balls, and he went on to have some good years in the NL.
  22. Ahh, Seth, you've done it again. Thanks for this awesome rundown. These are the names and faces from my Elementary School days, the heroes who populated my baseball card collection, and whose exploits I'd fall asleep to with the transistor under my pillow with those night games coming in from the coast. What I'd give right now to fall into a sound, innocent sleep, with the crackle of static and the day's closing grain prices in between the innings where images of my childhood idols danced in my head...
