  1. That’s game starts now. And I think I’ll be changing the channel.
  2. Do you really think that they wouldn’t negotiate an extension with one player because of the feelings of another? I hope not.
  3. That was really a non-answer answer. And i didn’t really pay attention.
  4. I’m not in a black out area ... it’s just the feed that’s carried tonight. Typically it’s the home team feed with the Extra Innings package on Comcast. Occasionally they have both, but not too often.
  5. Heh, thought I was listening to Falvey. Next time I’m just saying ‘one of Falvine’ to cover my bases.
  6. Listening to Falvey on the radio. It’s pretty straight forward. He talked about how Esco finding out and he said it wasn’t the way they wanted that to happen and sorry it happened that way, but somehow it got leaked and media reported it before anyone could talk to him. One of the reason they are out in Boston now, to address the team and be there for the team, how they are family and want to make sure they are there addressing questions, etc. So, if that’s important, to connect with the team, after the team’s most popular player is traded away, why is Molitor not there. Mollie’s priority is being at the HoF ceremony over the team.
  7. It’s the only feed I get with my MLB Extra Innings package. Have the sound off and am listening to ‘CCO even though the delay is behind the visual.
  8. You should relay that story in Brian’s thread on positional flexibility. I’m sure he’d appreciate it.
  9. I read a report today that he’s pretty sore from that crash into the outfield wall last night, so he’s sitting tonight but is available off the bench.
  10. I just had some leftover chicken rama... very tasty. Now I’d really like a raspberry Fruitfull frozen treat.
  11. No worries on Molitor making any decisions tonight since he opted to go to the HoF ceremony instead of being with his team.
  12. Yeah. I cried myself to sleep last night which sucks because I’m all puffy and headachy today. Okay, not really, but that’s how I feel saying good bye to Esco.
  13. If that happens, can we trade w/ the DBacks: Adrianza for Escobar
  14. Given your criteria, you’ve already given points to some parks over others. For me, my criteria, first and foremost, and really everything, is in-game experience. How are the sightlines, how is accessibility, how is comfort (both from weather and seats standpoint), amenities, the home-town fans and over all cost of everything. History would play no part in my rankings because that would give some places an advantage over others and really bear no weight for me except for the first time I visit in a ‘Wow, this is cool. I’m at (fill in the blank)’ sort of way. Given that, Wrigley is toward the bottom of my list for just about every one of those reasons except history. And, frankly, I much prefer going to Guaranteed Rate over Wrigley. It’s not a great ballpark and wouldn’t be high on my list, depending on where I was sitting, but other than historical significance, it ranks higher for me in every other category. There is much more to do near Wrigley with all the restaurants and bars packed into the area, and that can be a factor. If you want to go somewhere after the game, yeah, I guess I’d rather be at Wrigley for that convenience. But because of the density of people and establishments, the crime rate around Wrigley is actually higher than the crime rate around Guaranteed Rate.
  15. This from the article in the STrib: “Though rumors of potential deals have circulated all month, the trade shocked the Twins, who first learned of it from the big-screen TV in the middle of their clubhouse as they went through their daily pregame rituals in the visitors clubhouse at Fenway Park. Even manager Paul Molitor was taken by surprise. Escobar was in the Twins’ posted lineup, and when the news broke during the manager’s daily pregame media session, he initially dismissed it, saying “I don’t know about it. It sounds like a rumor.””
  16. Moya is on his way to the Twins. So that’s one.
  17. And Moya on his way to the Twins to take Pressly's spot on the 25-man.
  18. Traded. TD article here.
