  1. Come on, man ... if that happens it’s all on you for bringing the biggest jinx to the thread.
  2. Lol, ugh ... auto correct ... Have I ever asked you about your avatar? Do you play the accordion?
  3. Have I ever been sued you about your avatar? Do you play the accordion?
  4. When I went to Texas for a couple of games years ago, they sang ‘Deep in the Heart of Texas’, which was fun. Like singing ‘Lights of the City’ being sung in San Fran.
  5. If it had anything to do with that at this point I’d be all for it.
  6. Aaaaand ... I change the channel so I don’t have to listen to ‘God Bless America’. That has no business being the 7th inning stretch song. Absolutely none.
  7. SCHOOOOOOP! And it was clutch, too!
  8. Well ... don't feel bad ... I was going to do that now ... as I'm just getting to this.
  9. In other words ... have we all just made a mountain out of a molehill?
  10. Now that is how I like to see baseball players retaliate.
  11. I don't disagree with much of this, in theory. However, unwritten rule or not, Cave acknowledged it and apologized BEFORE Kepler even came to bat. So, if it were an unwritten rule, and it seemed it was, as Watkins seemed to be telling Cave that, and Cave had already taken responsibility for his 'grievous' behavior, that should have been the end of it. To then throw at the next batter after Cave already tipped his hat in compliance with said unwritten rule, was uncalled for. There was no reason, imo, to retaliate. Honestly, I don't like to see anyone being thrown at because a bad throw can truly injure a player, however, in this case, there seemed to be no reason for it even if you put stock in the unwritten rules.
  12. For those who want to continue the discussion on this unwritten rule issue with this game, a separate article/thread has been started. http://twinsdaily.com/topic/34487-front-page-unwritten-rule-gets-max-kepler-hit-by-a-pitch/
  13. I'm sorry, but that should have ended with Cave's acknowledgement of what he did when he reached first base, and what looked like his apology to the pitcher. The issue should have been done with at that point and no way the pitcher should have retaliated as he did, because Cave basically admitted right then and there he was wrong. Unwritten rule or not, as soon as Cave acknowledged it, it was done. Thankfully the pitch was controlled enough to not hit Kepler in the wrist or the head.
  14. Ah, okay, so Cave realized what he did, and acknowledged it and took responsibility, BEFORE the pitcher hit Kepler. Then that's just the pitcher being wrong. There was no reason to hit Kepler, and it's a good thing the pitch didn't hit a wrist or head and make it worse.
  15. Can we/should we delete this thread first? I also want to say, that with new moderators coming aboard, I don’t want them being told that they don’t have to help moving articles into forums, or pinning game threads, or moving them to the archives. The new moderators help with EVERYTHING. If current moderators don’t want to, fine, you’ve been grandfathered, but I don’t want the new ones to think this isn’t part of the job.
  16. I used to go to a lot of theatre when I lived in the Twin Cities, but I don’t get to as much as I’d like in Chicago, and there is a lot of good theatre here, not just Broadway type productions like Hamilton, but I like those, too.
  17. I'm probably the last person to see Hamilton. It was fantastic!
  18. Moderator note: I'm going to remind everyone not to politicize this thread, and take tangents with the mention of these things.
  19. You need to read heezy’s article on bicep tendonitis
  20. Back in my day, they did ... then things went to Hell in your era.
  21. Back in my day, kids were told when to grow up and not allowed into adulthood without said advice.
