  • Biography
    Twins fan since Tony O was trying to play OF on gimpy knees, Carew played 2B, and Blyleven was the young star pitcher.

    Retired from the Air Force after 24 years.

    Grew up halfway between NY and Boston - Yankee fans are much more obnoxious than Red Sox fans. At least they were - that whole "Red Sox Nation" garbage that everyone else has borrowed might have helped tip the balance.

    Don't give him a hand-me-down from Buxton. Get him one that works.

    His first 10 pitches he only threw 2 strikes, so 17/40 was progress.

    We better recover this onside kick

    I was wondering that about the guy Arizona brought in from the pen. They must have more injuries and less depth than us, because he hasn't been good anywhere. Had most of that typed before the slam.

    That was quite a year last year. This year is pretty good, but last year he had to be in the MVP race. 50 HR, 1.025 OPS. Not too shabby indeed.

    I sure hope it was nothing
  28. gil4
    It wasn't easy, but he got through it. 93 pitches now, so he's probably done.
  29. gil4
    Why fake an injury when we can just wait a week for a real one?
  30. gil4
    I like reading about the prospects and I don't mind a bit of over-optimism in the reports. But sometimes it does feel like this:

    My thought was this sure seems rushed. Maybe it's because today is the Royce Lewis jersey giveaway. When I checked to confirm, it turns out they changed it to Buxton t-shirts. Which explains why he ran into that wall last night.

    Time For Change

    gil4 commented on Twins GFP's blog entry in Twins GFP

    I agree - time for a change. In honor of the current status of the Twins' pitching (especially the bullpen), I have updated my profile photo from to Thanks for providing the motivation.

    I do too, mainly because of their pitching coach. He's from my home town, I used to umpire when he was in Little League and Babe Ruth league (13-15) and he married a friend of my sister. (ignore the Oklahoma in my profile; that's just where the military dropped me off after 20+ years.)
  35. gil4
    Does he throw with the arm with the hook or does the glove go on that one?
  36. gil4
    I didn't renew this year and I'm still sick of that one.
