  1. I'm a little late for the party, but I brought some Cuban-style Arroz con Pollo... Is there still any beer?
  2. David HK

    Hate losing Davis....

    Me too. I really liked that kid, but there are so many 40-man questions to answer this year, and we got a good reliever, which is exactly what we needed. It hurts, though, and I wish him the best. But with the Twins OF as it is, there wasn't much room for him on a regular basis. He'll have a much better opportunity in SF.
  3. Sweet opener, Van- hats off. Now, if Falvine can come through... it's nearing 2AM here in HK, so our trade deadline has already passed, and I can't stay awake a moment longer. Heh... also sweet yesterday-did you see where Bux's homerun went? Right over the sign for the Clevelander Hotel. I figger it's an omen, baby.
  4. Long term, I'm more worried about Reyes than Puig. He's awfully young and Sano-sized. Plus, they got 2 good young arms, 1 of them probably added-on compensation for Puig getting in that brawl.
  5. How do we respond to the Cleveland trade? With pitching. Period. We need it desperately. That Yankee series showed it in glaring light. This is a one-and-done team if we succeed in making the playoffs as it is. Well, if anything happens, pitching-wise, it will be welcome. The Tribe picked up a couple of big bats, and they'll get a couple of front-line pitchers back themselves soon. For Dog's sake, we've got a lot of 40-man decisions coming up, and not enough room for all our young sluggers. We run the risk of losing some guys with nothing in return. There is no reason not to find a deal.
  6. Zowie, just looked at that box score. Verlander with a 2 hitter! And Brantley torching his former club with a big RBI. Heh.....
  7. They must be really p*ssed if they sentenced him to Cincinnati.
  8. Hm. Yet another Trevor. To go along with Tyler and Taylor, etc... I remember the old umpire Ron Luciano, who turned broadcaster for a while. He was doing a Brewers game then, with Gorman Thomas, Robin Yount, Sal Bando and the gang. He was scoffing when Thomas was up, "Gorman. That's not a ballplayer's name. Gorman, Robin." Thomas made an out, and Bando came up. "Sal! Now that's a ballplayer name!"
  9. So. Watching our new bullpen savior. ...........
  10. I keep checking in to the site for news of a deal- But, I'm a Twins fan of several decades now- and for those of us out here who are of a similar vintage, how many times, year after year after year, has the club made noises, but stood pat and failed to reap anything at the deadline? I am so used to this...
  11. Although tight-lipped, combined with Pohlad tight-fistedness.... Maybe Romo's all we get.
  12. Sure doesn't look like the Mets even knocked loudly, with what they gave up for him. Really disappointing.
  13. I don't know about that no-trade clause. He may be sore at us, because we used to spank him pretty hard back when he was a Royal. Heh....
  14. Good, solid win today. Jeepers, I didn't notice, though, we have 10 games left with the Tribe! 10! Fortunately, 7 of 'em at our park, but that's a lot of time to tell which team is going to finish on top. On another note, I don't get the crying about how Cleve. has a 'soft' schedule these days- all teams play the same sched, and the month of August will be as soft on us as it will be tough for them- so, July and Aug are going to be a wash. Let's see if the boys can make some hay next month when it's our turn through the Chi-KC-Detroit portion, while Cleveland deals with the Yanks, Red Sox, and Rays.
  15. Great list, Mikey! I can't even rank all those games myself, they're all a great jog down memory lane! I went down the youtube rabbit hole for a while after that... My first Twins memory was that 65 season. I remember crying like a 6 year old when they lost that game 7. Cuz... I was a 6 yr-old, I guess... What a sweet list! Thanks for posting this!
  16. Heh... I was watching that playoff game in '87 with the gang at Stub and Herb's in Dinkytown. That pickoff play between Laudner and Gaetti was a dagger! I have never found any video of that game, anywhere, as much as I'd love to see that again.
  17. I can do that. Just... not, like, intentionally....
  18. For all you lovers of a traditional Manhattan- beware! And pick up this clip at :45.... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eFJDksjndXs
  19. Heh... Steve Stone: "Pineda is pitching like time of possession is a statistic in this game."
  20. Thank God! Our prayers are answered, and our woes are behind us! All hail Falvine!
  21. It does seem rather far-fetched as an option, but.... with this FO, who knows? And as for a dour demeanor-- hell, I WANT my starter to have a demeanor as dour as possible when he takes that mound! I want him to wanna beat the snot out of whoever's in that batter's box!
