    More self policing would be much appreciated. But I have to admit that some former policy violators seem to be making a genuine effort to avoid personal attacks, despite provocation that has sometimes been almost irresistible. I view this is a process whereby TD will continue to get better. Some of the former (now reformed) violators of TD policy always had good points to make and were articulate. What they needed was to realize that they could make their points in a respectful way yet still have a fierce debate. Now, some of the most troublesome former violators are making their points more effectively by not getting sidetracked by baiting then bickering with other members. I have an idea. If you see a post that you feel is not consistent with respectful debate, feel free to send a private message to the poster explaining why TD policy is important and GENTLY making CONSTRUCTIVE suggestions for improvement. This site belongs to all of us and it boils down to sharing and helping. Whether you think that the training staff should get their salaries tripled or you wish that they should be re-tasked as astronauts and sent on a mission to Mars next year, you are my fellow Twins fan. I may think that you are stupidly wrong, and you may think the same about me. But I am not going to call you stupid or refer to your ideas using any synonym for stupid. You are my fellow Twins fan and in a knife fight at any stadium other than Target Field, I would have your back, even if you said something really stupid in the 9th inning.

    Christopher, you asked some great questions and the answers make me think that Gibson is very intelligent and has a mindset that will likely lead to a successful career, once he has fully adjusted to his repaired elbow. Thanks for sharing this.

    These articles are my favorite part of TD. The quality of the writing is consistently high, and the variety is enjoyable. I believe that all of us who feast on this every day owe a huge debt to the authors who obviously put a lot of work into making it so great.

    This article is well written and encouraging. Like Shane, I wonder about the infield, but at the moment I am hopeful that Dozier will provide a solution at 2B, and I like how Escobar seems to come through in the clutch. Also, Eddie Rosario seems promising -- maybe he will be ready to come up at the same time as Sano? Obviously there is a lot that might go wrong -- injuries, setbacks and failures to adjust to a promotion. But I think that Nick has made a credible case for the proposition that the Twins could be an elite team within a very few years. One final point -- it might be wise to try to acquire some high ceiling catching prospects, because no one know how long Mauer will hold up at that position and Doumit seems like a temporary solution.

    Tying run on deck.

    Let's turn this around in the 9th:

    Once again Escobar is clutch.
  10. glunn
    It appears that both teams are competing to give this one away.
  11. glunn
    Why is Pressly still in the game?
  12. glunn
    I am back, and that was a good one my friend.
  13. glunn
    I am going home now -- will be back after dog and I pick up dinner.
  14. glunn
    Goodbye DP opportunity.

    Kudos to Dozier -- hopefully that wore down the pitcher and the Twins can break this open.

    I coined that term a while ago as a way to speak about my former favorite hobby without eavesdroppers knowing what I was talking about. As for certifications in Minnesota, I plan to research that at some point.

    Finally the Twins get some hits.

    I am too old to start over, so the picture will have to suffice. Also, if the need arises, there is a living art museum about 2 miles away, and private dances from certified happiness engineers are reasonably priced.

    What would I need to do to get her to appear at my office -- after the staff goes home?
  20. glunn
    Twins need to score early and often.
  21. glunn
    She is nice, but I miss the blond.
  22. glunn
    I have been in meetings for most of the day. And now I am exhausted -- looking forward to going home and taking the dog to pick up dinner. It sounds like the day game was fun -- sorry I missed it.

    From what I can tell, Pelfrey is struggling to throw strikes.

    It is cold here today -- 66 degrees. I think that next season the Twins should play their April games in Beverly Hills.

    I am temporarily closing this thread until I or another moderator has time to deal with the bickering that has erupted. I am at work now and won't have time to deal with this until tonight.
