  1. As I recall, Sano hit a long home run and, shall I say, over-celebrated. While that might be standard behavior in the Dominican here in the US that could lead to a fast ball in the ribs. (Many of us will remember the long discussion we had about this issue during the last year.) So Smith sat him down to reinforce that the home run itself is demonstrative enough and that there's no need to rub it in the opposing team's collective face. I'll edit this to add that I would guess that the suspension was also to let other teams know that the Twins organization was handling the issue so that other teams didn't need to add their own input in the form of the aforementioned fast ball in the ribs.
  2. These two items are related. One of the side effects of long-term steroid use is atrophy of the male gonads, which is how PED's lead to ED. It would be funny that he became a spokesman for Viagra if it wasn't sad.
  3. Earl Battey once made an out on a 9-3 play.
  4. I didn't necessarily mean that Rosario would start if there were a fourth outfielder who is better, and we should carry the four outfielders who make the team as good as possible. It's just that ideally it's best not to have 3 LH outfielders if that can be avoided.
  5. Ideally the Twins want a RHB or SH in their outfield corps with Rosario and Kepler presumed to be the leading in-house candidates to accompany Buxton.
  6. I think you mean 2016?
  7. This can't be true. I'm, like, a smart person. I don't have to be told the same thing in the same words every single day for the next eight years.
  8. We are all just a bunch of threadophiles.
  9. With the exception of players with no-trade clauses no player is untouchable. If the CBO and/or GM think a trade will advance the team toward the goal they have set then the trade will be made.
  10. 13 And now these three remain: hitting, fielding and pitching. But the greatest of these is pitching.
  11. The post you are criticizing referred to the last 3 months of 2015 and the first 2 months of 2016. And yes, during that time he was awful.
  12. I'm sure there are a lot of people who would like to do post #1000. But really, I think there's only one person who should do so and we all know who that is. So when it gets to about #995 there should be a moratorium until that person posts enough to hit quadruple digits. Like this if you agree.
  13. I was once at a restaurant at which the waitress said that their dry rub was highly recommended. And I will say the dry rub I got from her was excellent.
  14. My son graduated from Indiana University. One of his friends once told me that they didn't win many football games but they never lost a tailgate.
  15. Stick a fork in this trade. Just trying to do my part.
  16. "If a man says something in the forest and there are no women there, is he still wrong?" - Steven Wright
  17. Don't forget to send it COD so Dave has to pay the 47 cents postage.
  18. The deal hinges on the Dodgers taking responsibility for the "movie" that showed up on the hotel bill.
  19. So what if I base my actions on fake news? What could possibly go wrong?
  20. I'm with you. I was referring to leaking info I believed to be true to a non-traditional outlet.
  21. If I were a source I think it might be fun to occasionally mess with the traditional media by leaking to some yay-hoo on a fan site instead of the usual outlets. (No disrespect intended, Dave.)
