  1. Wow, good on ya, boys! Now, with our shut-down bullpen....
  2. Oh, my and Joe, too? I'm gonna volunteer to go to the beach every day if this keeps up. ...Or the dentist...
  3. Wow, I'm nowhere near to where i can see that, and grateful. But, gameday seems to say Miggy did something...good, if not freat?
  4. Well, it's Saturday morning 10 AM over here, and I had to visit the dentist down in sunny Repulse Bay for a new crown. Now I've got cotton in my mouth while it sets, and I'm just sufferin', sufferin'. What to do, but follow the TD thread, and try not to drool while the HS girls beach volleyball tournament plays out on the sand just opposite. Go Twinkies, tho, eh? Drat, mobile version won't let me attach any photo... Oh, well, use your imagination.
  5. Ahhh, Gibby. Just checked in before aettling into the dentist's chair... Thx, mate, for helping take my mind off the coming trauma.

  8. You know, I think you nailed the thing that makes me unnerved about Gibby. Kind of like the face Ewan McGregor made whenever he had to hit any high notes singing in "Moulin Rouge." He didn't look like he was in the throes of musical ecstasy, not like he was enjoying himself at all. He looked more like Gibby on the mound.
  9. Taylor Rogers- nice stuff so far. I'm reminded of the late umpire Ron Luciano, when he had a brief stint in retirement as a color announcer. During a Brewers game, Gorman Thomas at bat. "Gorman. Goooorman. Not a ballplayer name. Gorman. Robin. They don't sound like ballplayers." (next batter- Sal Bando) "Sal. Now that's a ballplayer name! Sal. Hey, SAL!" I imagine he might critique Mr. Rogers and a few others these days.
  10. Haaaaawwwww! Priceless- but no way to unsee that now...
  11. Good you on, Pressly. "He gone!" "Grab some bench!" Heard that before somewhere.... Now, Molly, please don't throw him out there again in the 8th, ok? Please?
  12. Just a brief flashback: Pitcher: Hold it like an egg, you said. Catcher: Yeh, and he scrambled it.
  13. Oh, Eddie---- Thank you. Heh.... took Grossman off the hook a little
  14. Yep. Heh.... my neighbors might be wondering what that ragged whoop was a few moments ago-- Go Twinkies!
  15. Hi gang-- just checking in. I loathe those red pajama tops.
  16. I couldn't agree more. Granted, this is only one game, but with such a marginal team we need all hands on deck to squeeze victories out of situations like this- and the manager once again has gacked up his chess pieces in willy-nilly fashion, and disregarded baseball 101 decision making. Again, only one game, but a script so typical of so many others. I am wracking my brain right now to come up with Molly moves that actually helped WIN a game we might not have otherwise, but I can quote you chapter and verse a myriad of situations where his mind-boggling decisions directly or indirectly resulted in a loss that most likely shouldn't have been. He is without a doubt the single worst in-game manager I can recall the Twins having-- and I suffered through the droughts of the 70s and early 80s along the way. I mean, we're talking Ray Miller-caliber here. Granted, he's screwed in a sense with the 13 pitcher debacle-- but my Gawd, if you have 13 of 'em, how about using more than the same one or two? He's got Pressley pitching multiple innings, which cost us one game, then got him NOT walking the hottest hitter in the entire major leagues, which cost us again. Yeh, historically, Avi Garcia is no Joe DiMaggio- but go ahead an pitch to him in the middle of July, when he's settled into his usual motif, not when he's in a total groove, and seeing and hitting the daylights out of any ball that comes his way. And the DanSan thing- don't even get me started.
  17. Hm. Twinks/ Wild. Both 2-1 losers. Wimpy, pathetic offensive display- check. Defensive brain farts leading to losing scores- check. Where's the trifecta here?
  18. Well, the good thing here is Joe can't hit into a DP by himself, so maybe Sano can catch up to one of those 97 mph offerings...
  19. 13 pitchers. 13. And he makes Pressley go more than 1. Thanks, Molly. Should have cleaned the dugout first this past winter.
  20. Just imagine my disappointment when I moved to mainland China in 09- and discovered that fortune cookies, general Tso's chicken, and egg rolls with the hot mustard do not exist here...
