    That was a 400' bunt.
  2. spinowner
    THAT is why HIcks is batting second. Mollie's a genius!

    If need be we can bring Graham in late in the game and he can accidentally lose control of a 97-mph'er.

    He injured Morneau's wrist back in about 2005 when he was with Cleveland. Same thing--he got in a bad mood over a bunt or something. It's one thing to throw at a batter's buttocks to make a statement, but anything thrown purposely above the waist is done only by an @$$#()!&, and that's what Sabathia is.

    *Yawn*...Just another double-digit win over the Yankees.
  6. spinowner
    You can't handle the Plouffe!
  7. spinowner
    Shortest possible home run!
  8. spinowner
    Nice stroke by Hicks!
  9. spinowner
    Will he make it 4-0, 5-0 or 6-0?

    Bullet dodged. Going to bottom of 1 scoreless.

    If you can love the Sabres and the Bills after all those teams have been through you're a natural born Twins fan! Welcome to the brotherhood (and sisterhood)!

    I hate the Yankees the most but I gotta say that I think the Red Sox are right down there with them. The only difference between the two franchises is beards. And I don't hate the White Sox, although I enjoy beating them more than just about anyone else. At least most of their fans are real baseball fans, as opposed to the types who follow the team on the north side of town.

    What? No antidisestablishmentarianism? Too short?

    That's what the Cardinals did to Buxton starting with his first at bat.

    It's not what you look like when you're doing what you're doing. It's what you're doing when you're doing what you look like you're doing.

    Small quibble: Oakland made the postseason and lost to KC in the wild card game. Second way more nitpicky quibble: In MLB a playoff is the game(s) needed to break a regular season tie, and the game(s) is(are) part of the regular season. The official term for playing down to World Champion is the postseason.

    Yes. Don't worry. Be happy!

    I'll always remember when they retrieved the car keys...

    Don't forget that Greinke will be a free agent at the end of this season. Maybe the Dodgers will take Pelfrey for him to save money on his contract.

    There's no guarantee that making moves this year will succeed either. One has to play the odds. You think the odds favor moving now. I think the odds are better if we wait. I predict TR does not make any big bold moves this season.

    A lot of people are confusing parity with mediocrity. The AL is currently 16 games over .500 vs the NL. The league as a whole is not down, it's just that only the Royals, and possibly now the Angels, have been able to put any distance between themselves and the pack.

    This whole issue comes down to figuring out when it's time to take a shot, keeping in mind that missing the shot moves the target (the World Series) further away. That's what happened in Oakland last year. Obviously my opinion is that it's too soon to take a shot because the target is too far away. However, I think the target is coming closer year by year so the prudent approach is to wait until the target is close enough.

    And I'll also clarify that by big trade I meant one that is for the purpose of winning now. I apologize for being unclear.
  25. spinowner
    As I said, offseason, maybe, but not during a seller's market. You make any trade if you think it's a good deal. But trying to improve at this time of year means overpaying. Making a trade during the last week of July to get a good player that will be around for 2-3 years will mean the loss of a prospect or two that we can't afford to lose. And we'd still be a borderline postseason team. That's why not to do it now.
