  1. However, I shudder at the thought of the White Sox, Tigers, and Royals licking their chops because our team is coming to town with their .850 OPS...

  5. My first Twin season in memory was '65, as a goofy little kid. In the time it's taken to become a goofy old man, I've suffered through some truly horrendous seasons (dare I say decades?). This stretch reminds me of some of the bad old days. I don't think its going to last all season, but the hole is getting deep to climb to the playoffs this year. You know how when a team gets on a roll, and every day a different hero steps up-- same goes for this stretch. A different dude chooses to suck at the most inopportune moment day after freakin' day.... Rrrrrrrrrr......
  6. Heh.... wake up on a lazy Saturday monring, check in to the game. Wow! Twins lead! Wow! LoMo a hitting star! 8-3, make a quick jaunt to the store. Heh... sez I to meself- wouldn't it be funny if I came back and it was 9-8? Argh.
  7. The 1980's? Hopefully not the early part of that decade.....
  8. Ahhh, it's Seth again. Many thanks for these stories from the Minors. It's good to hear about the guys who are toiling in the vineyards. A lot of these coaches will never make it back to the Show in that capacity, but man, it's great to see guys passing on their knowledge and their love of the game. How about Ray Smith and Jeff Reed- decades now in E-town, churning out the prospects. Good on them!
  9. You are an eminently rational human being.
  10. Yes. You are allowed that. Especially when it's the Evil Empire. One evil minion is enough.
  11. Thanks again, Seth! I know they all lost, but still this was a much more entertaining read than the 'big club' rolling over and taking it from the Yankees yet again...
  12. Heh.... Don't look now, but Cincy just came from behind and put a 10-spot up on the Braves tonight.
  13. Come to think of it, maybe what this team needs is a good, old-fashioned bench-clearer...
  14. Whew, back from class-- 8-1 now. So, a typical Yanks/Twins game. Nothing new for the past few decades or so. An earlier poster noted that Odor-Easy can pee down his leg just like a long-time Twin. Yup, that's about right. We get to the Bronx, and look like an over-awed high school team. Ah, well...
  15. Heh... Judge, Didi, and the newly-awakened Stanton coming up-- Volunteers to throw an inning? Good time to have a class now.....
  16. Heh.... I was at the game at Shea the first time he came to NY since the woebegone SI article came out. Those fans were out for blood, and it was packed in the stands overlooking the bullpen area. They had cops lining the whole section, and wouldn't let anyone near the fence along the BP. Rocker came out between innings at one point to warm up the left fielder, and I never heard such a cascade of Bronx cheers (albeit in Queens). After the warmup throws, he casually tossed the ball into the stands as a souvenir, and the guy who caught it fired it right back at him. He earned a ton of cheers, and a helpful escort out of the park by the boys in blue.
  17. Don't worry, gang, we've got the murderee's row coming up-- If this was hockey, they could call Sano, Rosario and Morrison the KKK line.
  18. Well. Just got to work, and checked out the score.... Started about as well as all Twins games against that evil empire. Well, back to vocabulary lessons, then, without being distracted. Or even hopeful. Bit of a pessimist, I guess, eh? NO! I ain't givin' up! Come on, boys! MOIDER DEM YANKS!!! Moider 'em, I tell ya's....!
  19. I have to concur wholeheartedly with this. How many times over the Molly years has this subject been bandied about, beaten to death, dragged out of its mildewing grave and thrashed yet again? He doesn't ride the hot bat, or the hot arm because that's just what he does. Or doesn't. Pull the plug on a veteran pitcher who's running on fumes? Nah. Pull the plug on a youngster (if he even gets to play), before he gets a chance to work a situation out? Yep. Hit guys 3-4 in the lineup who are in season-long slumps? You betcha. My gosh, that's what the 7-8 spot is for, fer cryin' out loud. Getting swept by a team that's already tanked its season? Well, that's what happens, I guess.
  20. "...but the team will at least get a reprieve when they return home for the weekend to host Cincinnati, a team so bad it fired its manager after a 3-15 start." Y'know, that's kind of what I thought going into Tampa.... oops!
  21. I like that Kerrigan kid. What a start he's having! The only trouble is, when I first heard of him, I got him mixed up with this guy...
