  1. Hey might be one of those guys who gets to walk the line, but receives a blank sheet of paper. "hey, what gives?"
  2. One would hope that face-plant in the photo is not said youngest son. But if it is, he really stuck that landing!
  3. Yeh, I noticed that too. Not a lotta hittin' going on down there in the Fort, eh?
  4. It's true, that when he got to the Red Sox, they told him to just be himself, and swing away, and not to bother about that all fields business- and look what happened.
  5. He did not suck at 1B. And he was a damn good young slugger. Yeh, he was squeezably soft, and had some injury problems, but I was looking so forward to having him in the lineup for the 2000's, and then.... Walked away for nothing. Didn't even get a bag of damn balls out of it. Yes, $ was a factor, but cripe, not an earth-shaking amount, even then. I was astounded, just flabbergasted, and so incredibly disappointed in my team when they did that. And what a gigantic mistake it was. I remember that same feeling coming back, a few years later, when, right after the Wolves selected Ricky Rubio, they had the next pick coming as well, and everybody but everybody knew it was going to be Steph Curry. But then, David Kahn, in his wisdom.... "and the T-Wolves select..... Johnny Flynn!" There isn't a typeface big enough for the WTF to grow to. I sat there with my mouth agape for like 10 minutes before I could even speak. Ortiz. Curry. Geez- Louise, what absolutely boneheaded moves those were- at the time, and certainly in retrospect. Edit: Oops, I had to amend this- I forgot about what havoc Ortiz would have wreaked with the RF baggy in the Dome. He surely would have ripped that thing more than once, hitting rockets off of it, and over it, and somebody would have had to fix it, and that costs money, so maybe it is better he went away.

  9. I don't know much about these kids. Haven't heard of the next Bryce Harper or Kershaw here, but who knows? I see young Mr. Burdi's brother is due around the Twinkies' turn. Heck, though, it looks like we'll be well inside the top 3 for next season! Yee-haw. Pfft.
  10. I'm just... I can't..... Ach, whatever. This team's (to quote the great Joe Angel) "brain-thrust" seems to have gray matter leaking out their ears.
  11. River, that was a nice tribute to those guys whose names crackled out of my radio on summer nights long ago, thanks for that. Also for observation #3- see, that's just my problem with day games- they start when I've gone to bed, and end before I wake up, so I have these lucid moments of posting at midnight, and 6am, which too often result in quizzical comments on the TD board. Now I understand, that it's God's Own Flashlight illuminating my thoughts. Huzzah.

  20. True that, young man. In the thousands itunes on my mac, there is hardly anything from beyond the very early 90s. That's when everything went digital, and disposable. Like who, 20 years from now, is going to play a Bieber tune at their anniversary dance? Who is going to remember any, or even who he was? (Cant' happen soon enough).
  21. Those lions on the game thread photo are the saddest lions I've ever seen. But if the herald a win, I can look at them all season. As long as they like chicken, and not me. Good job today, boys. Haven't perused the game thread, but I'm sure there was some fine snark to be found along the way.
  22. I have to echo a lot of the comments here. The only really valuable chips we have are not on the ML club. And heck, if it boils down to a C-level prospect as opposed to just DFA'ing a guy (Nolasco, looking at you), take whatever the heck we can get. Again, the time to deal Plouffe or Rosario, for example, was when the snow was still on the ground. Sadly, their output just melted away when the weather warmed up.
