  1. Lol ... I, on the other hand, had no problems reading this whatsoever!
  2. Never thought Nelson Cruz and I would have the same routine ... 'Nap time can vary, but it's daily'. Although, his nap time is intentional and timed. My nap time is daily when I nod off, unintentionally, because I'm getting to that age.
  3. I'm eating dinner while watching the game ... but I am not going to jinx it by eating chicken
  4. And if the Twins weren’t playing the Cubs, there’d have been more oversight. The Cubs were on ESPN Sunday Night baseball and we just happened to be the Cubs’ opponent.
  5. Nice day for a day game ... damn it ... if people were allowed in the stadiums, I'd so be there!
  6. It’s pretty cloudy in Chicago right now ... but I don’t think it will rain
  7. We've had numerous discussions of this over the years. As always, since you are speaking to a larger point, and no longer about Romo vs Lindor, perhaps start a separate discussion regarding 'respect' vs 'personality' issues in the 'Other Baseball' forum. Thanks.
  8. Yeah, I think he was speaking more generally answering the post he quoted.
  9. I think the league answered that question with a 1-game suspension + a fine for Romo; and Lindor also received a fine, because it takes two to tango, and shows he was complicit. That said, I still see this as a blip and an example of how things can sometimes trend in the heat of the moment with emotions and adrenaline. However, I think over all, I love Romo's spirit and antics, and the energy and intensity he brings. That has been lacking on the Twins. How many times have I seen comments such as 'The Twins just seem lethargic and lacking in desire to win' (or something like that)? Can't have it both ways. Yes, that 'fire' can sometimes get carried away, and there are means to deal with that ... everyone jumping into the fray as they did ... that's what I call idiotic and over the line. If distancing rules are to be enforced, then everyone needs to stay in the dugout and let on-field personnel handle it. if two players get 'into it' ... the respective teams don't need to escalate matters or give any credence to matters, and all come running onto the field ... that's where things get out of hand and cross the line, imo. But I don't want to see any player's joy and personality be stifled away because some of us seem to want a polite, pinkyies up, tea party ... or because opposing players might feel bad. It's a game ... you win some, you lose some ... all players need to allow for personality and not take it so personally and get over themselves. Shake it off. All imo, of course.
  10. I feel badly for Rooker ... as you said, he was making the most of this opportunity. Hope he heals well and quickly and we see more of him next season.
  11. You know, as I said above, very impressed with Sano’s actions in this little blip of a dust up. A few years ago people were saying some pretty horrible things about him and his intentions toward the game and I always said that he needed to mature. He has certainly turned that corner and his immediate response of getting Romo out of there and talking to Lindor ... as I said, impressed. And for me, that’s what should get attention in all of this.
  12. Eh ... hard to judge these things ... don't know what was said between them, although that really doesn't matter. Romo is an intense guy, pumped up on adrenalin, that's part of the make up. Although, he dishes it, he should learn to take it, too. But ... don't really know what's what between the two of them. Stuff like this happens in the heat of the game ... just glad it didn't result in any actual punches being thrown and calmer heads prevailed. I still find it completely idiotic to see the bullpens come running into the fray, though. Just idiotic. But ... I was actually the most impressed with Sano. The big dude just hawls up Romo and gets him out of there instantly. And, impressed that everyone seemed to go the 'settle down' route before things got out of hand. All in all, all's well that ends well, so don't know what the big deal really is.
  13. My Mom went to UMD. Born in Cloquet, raised in Wrenshall
  14. Winner, winner ... cheese and potato pierogi dinner ...
  15. Well ... the first game win was ... winner, winner, chicken sandwich
  16. Bread baking day ... so this is a drive by .. GO TWINS!
  17. Nick Gordon isn't even in St. Paul ... as far as I know
  18. That would be a long run from Chicago ... and my running days are behind me now by a far distance
  19. How come this thread says the game starts at 3:10?
  20. Yeah, I get what you're saying ... I just don't agree with your conclusions. That's all.
