    So do we like the matte finish on the Sox helmets or not? I can't decide.
  3. spinowner
    You'll be most sheltered from the lake wind sitting in left field.
  4. spinowner
    Disagree. At this stage of the game preventing the other team from scoring is more important than scoring.
  5. spinowner
    But it's still better than Dave Engle.
  6. spinowner
    Yeah, that's an interesting point. I'm thinking maybe it's a new rule this year? The umps were talking with Renteria before they looked at the replay and he must have been OK with it.
  7. spinowner
    Technically it wasn't reviewed. The replay was used to make the original call.

    I have no problem listening to their radio guys. Harrelson needs to grab some bench.
  9. spinowner
    It's hard to keep track of stuff like that after your 8th beer.
  10. spinowner
    Score the run and eject the jackass.

    Dick just said "Oh, ish!"
  12. spinowner
    I know I have at least 100 broken posts.
  13. spinowner
    No, you're fine. Pretty much anything is allowed on game threads.

    Is that what they call the statues of people that they never finished? Every time I'm there I keep checking to see if the tops have been put on but I guess I'll have to keep waiting.

    When I think of deep dish I think of Green Mill, where the crust isn't much thicker than normal but the toppings are much thicker than normal.
  16. spinowner
    With the wind coming straight off the lake. Chillier!
  17. spinowner
    I didn't see either of the first two games on TV but he can't have waited until the third game.

    What's your son's handicap?
  19. spinowner
    Marney's OK and all, but she's no Audra.

    It's your birthday? Well, I'm not sure about this, you'll have to double check, but I think it might be Bert Blyleven's birthday today. Did that get mentioned once or twice or 100 times today?
  21. spinowner
    Which is better than being winless, but remember the Vikings were the last NFL team to lose a game, and, well...

    The catcher is by far the most important non-pitcher on the field. There are many catchers who can't hit. There are some hitters who can catch, but there are few catchers who can hit, and in the entire history of the game there have been hardly any very good catchers who are very good hitters. Not only was Mauer probably the best player in baseball in 2009, but his 2009 season was probably one of the top 25 or so most valuable seasons in the history of the game.
  23. spinowner
    That's what's known as taking three for the team.
  24. spinowner
    Very interesting comparison and I'm glad you posted it because it shows how different the two at-bats were. As drjim pointed out, the pitch Mauer took for a strike on Monday was on a 1-0 count. There's an adage in baseball that a batter should generally take the first strike if the game is close unless it's relatively easy to hit. Don't swing at a pitcher's pitch in that situation until there are two strikes. The pitch he swung at and hit today was on a 1-2 count. Even someone with only a basic understanding of the game knows why he swung in that situation. Fortunately he made good contact on a pitcher's pitch.
