They will be. Just give it a little time.

Who makes a mess?

Yes, it's very likely I may drown one day with that mantra. But that day isn't today. And it's not likely going to be tomorrow, either.

Game-time forecast: Cloudy with a 30-percent chance of rain. Winds blowing out to center field at 15-20 m.p.h. Temperature around 70. PALE HOSE: SP, Carroll Eaton CF Ramirez SS Abreu 1B Dunn DH Viciedo RF Gillaspie 3Bi De Aza LF Beckham 2B Nieto C TWINS: SP, Pino Santana CF Fuld LF Dozier 2B Plouffe 3B Arcia RF Willingham DH Parmelee 1B Fryer C Escobar SS ----------------------------------------- ​Brian will be up soon … I hope … as we all need a little Brian after the last 3 games. Sigh. Keep on swimming, keep on swimming, keep on swimming …. --------------------------------------------------------- We need a little something... That is for sure Things to Think About: 1. The White Sox -- I may have mentioned that I have a distaste for the White Sox. It's bad enough when the Twins are not playing well but it's extra bad when they are struggling against the White Sox. I like the idea of drafting before them but enough is enough. A sweep is simply not tolerable. Get swept by the White Sox in 4 games and you can spend your off day and flight to Kansas City thinking about it. At least you better be thinking about it. I wouldn't want them thinking about a new app on their IPhones. 2. Joe Mauer -- It's starting to get rediculious... I'm not a doctor... I understand that obliques are tricky but I'm gonna start adding up all the time Joe has spent on the shelf... Nursing... whatever it is this time and declare...That we have a 23 Million dollar plastic China Doll. Injuries happen in this game but Joe has gonna over his quota. Moving in from Catcher to 1B hasn't kept him healthy.... I guess. 3. Scott Carroll -- Which Carroll is going to show up... 4 starts ago he gave up 7 earned in 6 innings against the Angels... 3 starts ago... He shut out the Red Sox for 6.2 innings. 2 starts ago... He shut out the Indians over 5 innings of work and in his last start... The Royals put 5 on him over 5. 4.53 ERA and a WHIP over 1.50 on the year. He let's traffic get on the base paths. The Twins may want to collect a few Ribbies when he does. 4. Jose Abreu -- I'm starting to get the impression that this guy is legit. That impression may come from his 30 dingers in his first year of MLB baseball. When you consider the unique talents of Abreu... Puig... Cespedes... Chapman... Even Iglasias... I hope the Island of Cuba hasn't been drained because I think the Twins should head over to Dick Sporting goods and buy a few rafts. 5. Pencils -- I was working a semi-pro football game yesterday. On the back wall of the production booth... There were 4 pencil sharpeners bolted to the wall. I got to thinking... I haven't used a pencil in probably a decade. Maybe longer... Because I can't remember the last time I used an ole #2 pencil. And why is it called a #2 when it is clearly more popular than a #1 pencil.

That didn't help. At all. The worst is the strip ad that seems to appear between the 1st and 2nd thread in a forum; or the 1st and 2nd post in a thread.

I tried to 'like' this but I couldn't.

Well, until you figure it out, I'll be changing it for you regularly.

You aren't a newbie. It says you are a senior member. Hmm ... senior member ... not gonna comment on that.

Well, at least I'm still queen. <G>

Me either.

Your post total didn't go away. But mine did. Meh.

Yeah, me too. Okay ... I don't seem to be able to 'like' a comment ... I've reached my quota of happiness, or some such was the message. And I no longer see the last post and date thing to the right of the thread subject. It was there, but not now.

Ah, nice Brock ... that was quick. Okay ... we all get to start fresh ... the clock starts ticking now.

Heh ... well Ash has 15. We had fun testing things. And I'm trying to figure out how to remove my own, because I am and always will be an angel.

Oh! LOL! Now I understand the chopping off fingers comment. Hahahaha ... my signature. When we were testing the system, some of the other moderators liked to mess with my profile a bit. So I put that in there as a deterrent. It seemed to have worked, for now.

lol ... for some reason I lost my old login ... I assure you, I was well into the thousands! THOUSANDS I tell you!

I think that's how it works. It's been a couple of weeks since I test drove; and since my life lately has gotten pretty hectic, I'm going to have to relearn what I tested all over again because that stuff went out of my head when other stuff cropped up. What I suggest is giving it a full go ... go in and out of forums, click navigational links, click stars or dots when you see them to see what happens. Click and learn. Then post questions. I know, it's a pita to have to learn new stuff, but once you get used to it, you'll wonder why it wasn't like this all along!

The 'time out' period is automatic once you've reached a certain number of 'infractions.' Once the moderators are acclimated to the new system we will post how that will work. I think once you accumulate 3 points you sit for 24 hrs, come back and get another point, it's 3 days, another and it's a week. It's an automatic system. And the points do retire after a length of time. As I said, once we are acclimated, we will outline how that works.

Good!

I'm going to lock the other thread in the main forum and direct all questions to here.
