    I almost said ‘yes’ to Nat or Frank. A lot of the stuff NKC did with his jazz trio were really great. But I went with crooner of crooners.

    That makes way more sense than what I thought ... a nod to Mad Magazine Spy vs Spy

    Regarding the OP: Drac, Grace, Cary and Frank

    okay, I missed the beginning, what’s up with the uniforms?

    Who was 24 and didn’t get a look? If we are still talking about Anderson ... which is the topic of this thread ... he was 27 st the time.

    MODERATOR WARNING: I'm tired of the negative-positive debate. If you don't like a topic, don't post in it. If you think posters are wrong, rebut their posts without broad classifications as to their character or motives. But if all you want to do is complain and pile on, that can stop, too. And on both sides of this issue, find a way to see the other side, find some common ground. Quit the proclamations of 'not understanding how anyone can think like that' and just agree to disagree if you just can't make any further points of discussion.

    Heh ... nope ... it's one account ... I just haven't switched the name back yet.

    Great. Now ... where are we now? We are without Anderson. Who is next that we should be looking at so this doesn't happen again, before the next off-season and rule 5? That's where this goes now. We can talk about losing Anderson until we're blue in our collective faces, mistake or not ... to what end? I'd like to hear from you not what should have or could have happened, because that truly is hindsight, but what's next? How do you use this mistake and learn from it going forward. This off-season, who might we lose to rule 5 that we need to give a shot to now. And how would you go about doing that. I get that there were people on last year's roster that we could have removed in order to give Anderson his shot, but, that didn't happen so now that is in the past. Given this information, what is our next step to ensure that doesn't happen again, that we never lose someone who can help us, and apply it to this year, to this year's roster, and to this year's prospects who need to be added ... who would you remove in order to add, to try them out before we might potentially lose them? And this would not include the likes of Graterol because we will be adding him, likely soon, and not lose him. But who right now looks on that bubble, that we need to take a look at before season's end? Who comes off the 40-man to do that before the end of September so we can get these prospects up when rosters expand.

    Okay. I can agree that I would have liked to see Anderson get a shot. He didn’t. It’s almost a year later. I’m not sure I’d call it a failure but a missed call certainly and likely a mistake. And I get that maybe we’d be in a different spot with him, but exactly what spot that is is a lot of speculation. So, what’s the end here? Anderson is gone, he wasn’t given a shot, it was a missed call or mistake, take your pick, what now? Let’s hope it doesn’t happen again. But it might and probably will. For every GM out there. Again, what now? I guess we can hash it and rehash it and end up in the same place. For me it’s spilled milk, water under the bridge, and no amount of ‘ifs’ changes what was. Should we maybe write letters the the Twins to suggest they be removed them from their jobs because of this huge failure? I want to see more from them before I declare this an ineptness to the point they shouldn’t be managing the Twins. But hang on, this off-season I think will be rough finding enough spots for everyone. We are going to lose some to trade or guessing wrong and I think everyone knows it. Will it be a failure they just can’t keep everyone?

    Cheeky would be very appropriate ... because I am.

    Oh, yes, yes, yes! Especially about the trapped thing. And I’m rather fond of Danish modern furnishings!

    Great article! It was a fun game to see! And I'm so glad security didn't throw me out for running on the field! And did you see Abreu jump when I ran by first? (Not sorry about that, hehehe.) But I made one correction ... please make sure you get that right next time!
  17. Squirrel
    Thank you!

    Couple of notes ... During the broadcast (I was listening to the Sox broadcast), the broadcasters were having fun with the squirrel. Then the Twins started scoring and they said, "I didn't know that was a rally squirrel." And, of course, the squirrel had a prominent place in the Sox post-game report. Also in the post-game report, they put up some numbers. Cruz and Kepler have combined for 8hr and 20 rbi against the Sox so far this year. That's amazing, but I guess when you are putting up the hits you are against a team, and score the runs you are against a team, that's expected. From just two players.

    SQUIRREL!!!!!
  20. Squirrel
    SQUIRREL!!!!!!! Hey, I resemble that remark.
  21. Squirrel
    Well, if you have opportunity, I like the new team. Hawk is done and gone to never return to the booth.
  22. Squirrel
    It got to a point where I just muted the TV and turned on the radio. Anything was better than that. And the last couple of years when they brought on Stone ... you could tell how uncomfortable he was working with Hawk. A lot of silence between the two.
  23. Squirrel
    I've said this before, but I remember a game when Hawk suggested that someone on the Sox team should throw sand and gravel at Santana ... just to get to him. And he was totally serious. He said that a player should risk being tossed just to get to him and break his stride. I mean, that's just childish and worse than homerism. That's when I said, uh ... no ... that's beyond the degrees.
  24. Squirrel
    Yeah ... having had to listen to Hawk over the last 19-20 years ... I don't agree. Not quite. There are degrees ... and then there are degrees. Hawk surpassed all of them for me, almost immediately.
  25. Squirrel
    I hope the game recap author gives credit where credit is due ... SQUIRREL!!!! Wonder if they mention it in the Sox post-game report.
