    For his first cup of coffee, I'm okay with it. And as others said, the object was to win the game. Take no chances and stop the bleed before it's a gusher.

    Lol ... are you 70?
  4. Squirrel
    I don't think the Twins should be buyers at this point, but I think they should definitely be spoilers any way they can,

    I checked his IMDb page and I don't think I've seen anything he's ever been in. No, I don't watch Modern Family. I've heard of it, of course, but haven't seen it. I don't really watch that much television, outside of a very few things.

    Your editor was a bit confused ... 'if they last long enough' ... was that in reference to the bumps?
  7. Squirrel
    Who?
  8. Squirrel
    Yeah, neither Park is all that great but for different reasons.
  9. Squirrel
    For the month to change to September, I guess.
  10. Squirrel
    ******* might be, too.
  11. Squirrel
    I use the word 'crap' all the time on here. Wonder why **** is censored. It's really the same word.

    Barbara Cook died today, too. If you don't know who that is, look it up.
  13. Squirrel
    Ha! I only got 64% ... I remembered most of the position players (forgot Centeno) but couldn't remember all the pitchers! Lol! Good quiz and good intro! Be that informative to those who have yet to sign up for a game thread ... you CAN talk about baseball and it's NOT off topic to do so!
  14. Squirrel
    What about Abad for Pat Light?
  15. Squirrel
    Although, listening to Counsell talk about that balk after the game, he basically said they've done this a lot, shifting and with men on third, but that maybe he could have gone out and talked to the pitcher to make sure his 'twitchiness' wouldn't get the better of him, that the runner wasn't really going anywhere. I guess that makes sense ... but ... I'm not sure I'd want to do that with a runner on third, particularly with certain runners who would use their energy to induce such a thing.
  16. Squirrel
    It wasn't so much for 'wanting to trade' Rosario as it was looking for players who might be more expendable in order to get a return for good SP. I've always liked Rosario and don't want him traded, but, if we can net good pitching, that's the way it goes. But yeah ... he was certainly a gamer last night ... hitting in the tying run and scoring the winning run with his balk-inducing motions.
  17. Squirrel
    Yeah, I wondered that, too. I guess he was more focused on getting the out, but still.
  18. Squirrel
    Lol. Well, and a shift. I think that also added to the runner-on-third's twitchiness because that pretty much gave him carte blanche to be extra twitchy, too. Er, or more energetic. I guess twitchy was for the pitcher. Whatever. The shift aided and abetted, too.
  19. Squirrel
    Or maybe his frustration we've seen him express lately is creeping into his play mentally?
  20. Squirrel
    Lol ... not on a regular basis, but I have done that before.
  21. Squirrel
    Lol ... always fun reading the game thread after a come-from-behind win, and knowing the outcome as I read through.
  22. Squirrel
    But not until after next season. 2018 will be his last season, limited to Sunday home games. Heh ... and he will never step into Wrigley again. http://chicago.suntimes.com/sports/no-cubs-no-harrelson-says-hell-never-go-back-to-wrigley/amp/

    Mauer and Dozier are not the difference makers between winning and losing on this team. I think we can win with them.. I think both are adequate but not outstanding so I think the answer to the question lies more on who else is on the team.. But of course they would need to step it up, but so does everyone else around them, especially the pitchers.
  24. Squirrel
    Speculation is one thing, and yes, that is what message boards are for. But the following quoted comment was not speculation; it was flat out saying Mauer wasn't in the line up because Mauer didn't want to play. That goes beyond speculation to me and every poster who responded to it. And you doubled-down by saying the following: "Is Mauer not capable of telling Mollie that he's available despite the tough lefty?" And another poster suggested Mauer needed to 'Man up.' Again ... these comments go beyond speculation to accusation in how they were stated and perceived. Why not just say, then, "I wonder, when these lineups are made, how much the players react to them, and actively try to have Molitor go a different direction? I mean, it would've been nice if Mauer could be stronger and assert himself with Molitor because we could have use him.' And who knows what was said or not by whom, as we don't know. No ... it's all directed at Mauer, and Mauer specifically, and never another. Seriously. It's Mauer baiting and nothing more. And I'm not even a big Mauer fan, not at all, but this one-sided kind of scapegoating gets old.
  25. Squirrel
    And the steadfast need to blame him for everything is equally as nauseating, particularly in a thread that isn't about him but about the game last night. He does NOT share the blame with Molitor on this. Sorry, but lineup construction isn't Joe's responsibility and I'm tired about everything being Joe's fault when you or I have NO IDEA how it went down. If you knew first-hand Joe did nothing to try and be in the lineup, fine ... but you don't, and neither do I. So castigating blame is really people going out of their way to find a scapegoat.
