  1. Well, it is a great start, but we have to remember to take it --- Week to week Day to day Hour to hour The gate is straight Deep and wide (Til we can) Break on through to the other side---
  2. This is America. No 2nd acts. Ask Fitzgerald. Although that did seem like the leaked plot to the new season of Game of Thrones...
  3. I gotta echo a lot of these comments on the not-impressed side. I am scratching my head right now, the same way I did the last couple of years looking at Molly's quasi-lineups. I especially gotta echo Dave's sentiment about this team doing all they can to make the fans as disinterested as possible. Empty seats on opening day? Wouldn't surprise me atall. 5000 or less showing up on day 2? It's what they deserve. I gotta echo Mike, too--103 losses, and the same old cast of usual suspects... Come on, for Pete's sake. 'Gee, we sucked more than any team in mlb last year, let's try the same thing again!' And don't EVEN get me started on that Park debacle...

  5. I gotta admit, that one gave me a snot bubble...
  6. I hear what you're saying on those first 2 points- but I'm chuckling to myself thinking of anyone who wouldn't match up well with the White Sox this year... 5th place for them in '17, book it. (at least I dearly hope so!)
  7. Well, I'm all for Shaggy getting a shot. Love all that I hear about his lively fastball, etc; something the Twinks have been sorely missing. In fact I was licking my chops the last couple-three years about all those young flamethrowers we'd recently drafted, and not a single one of 'em, for reasons of injury or ineffectiveness, have been seen up top so far. Shaggy was probably #1 on my list of those guys. Now, I don't have time to follow things on a daily basis, so I don't know what he's working on for this ST, if it's a change, or another pitch for the repertoire, but all I see is him getting hit hard, and having long-ass innings. (to paraphrase Jim Mora), Closer? C-c-c-closer? You kiddin' me?

  10. Nyuk, nyuk, no worries- sometimes I think I'm funnier than I really am. Comes from being funny-looking, I suppose!
  11. Here's hoping Molly takes more input into the lineups this year. The past couple it seems he's pulled them out of a hat that looks like this...

  13. Heh... sorry, forgot to include the tongue-in-cheek icon with that post. Wait, there isn't one.... Dang.
  14. Oh, my gosh. You have to feel for that young man. I hope he will recover well, and keep his spirit up in the meantime. Yet, somehow, this is just so... so... Twins.
  15. Hmm. We signed Murphy because he hit that one home run against us that one time. So did Gimenez- rocking one off Scott Baker back in '09. I see a pattern developing here. Has Castro ever gone deep against us? Edit time: Oh my gosh, yes. He tagged both Alex Meyer and Casey Fien just last year! One by one, we're slowly co-opting all those 2nd catchers who've dinged us in the past. Crazy like a fox, eh? Bravo, TR, and also DF and TL! That's strategery for ya, you betcha.
  16. This unholy mess was just as bad as the Sano to RF and May to the BP fiascos. (fiascii?) No excuse, boneheaded decisions. And this nonsense about 'well, we never figured he was going to be great at it anyway,' is just so much malarkey. He IS the guy we're counting on in Mlb this year, and he was the one and only realistic option in the minors, so why in heck wasn't he in the 6 spot day after day? For Molly to say, 'gee, wasn't my fault,' is just as big a can o' malarkey too. You absolutely cannot tell me the ML mgr has no input or knowledge about that kind of situation. Cripe, how long has SS been an issue here? It's not like it snuck up on anybody we've needed help there for a heck of a long time. Pfft, to these excuses.
  17. LIke the Sano to the outfield experiment, May to the bullpen was just another complete waste of time, and a great way to set back the development of a promising young player. I'm glad he's getting the shot this year-- at least, it seems that way... we'll see.
  18. Kind of quizzical as to why Park is not on the Korean roster?
  19. How long does the DFA period last, when the player may be claimed? Is it 10 days? I understand their reasoning, but I would still hate to lose Park.
