  1. McCarthy: They can see what is in my recycling bins in my front yard. That's why I keep my recycle bin lid closed.
  2. Mauer just happens to have the 6th highest BA in the AL. Not too shabby in my book.
  3. This is baseball. The point being, the best team doesn't always win. In fact Cleveland hasn't quite won 2/3 of it's games and Cleveland has the best record in the AL.
  4. I think they will get the second wild card. I also think they have a reasonable chance of beating the Yankees. Twins have beaten them several time this year already. These aren't the Yankees of the past.
  5. We might as well just give the second wild card to the Angels.
  6. @Riverbrian #5 is brilliant.
  7. @spinowner I agree. Mauer has been a terrific player for the Twins for many years. Without a doubt he is one of the few best players in MLB.
  8. Managers get fired all the time. Douggie will be with another organization soon. Who knows maybe as a MLB manager.
  9. I have no doubt that Joe will be in the HOF. He has very good numbers that match up well with current members. He has played terrific defense at both catcher and 1st base. He has also contributed to the community.
  10. For those that don't know. Tampa and St Petersburg are kinda like Minneapolis and St Paul.
  11. I think Sano playing at 285 when he's 30 is a valid concern like Souhan writes. Athletes physical abilities begin to decline around the age of 26 or 27. He may do just fine. His experience may even make him better. However there aren't a lot of MLB players in their mid to late 30s. Besides the whole point is that according to Souhan some people in the Twins organization are concerned. They should be. Sano will be making millions and millions of dollars whether he can maintain a high level of performance or not.
  12. What's the big deal? Souhan is expressing concern that down the road Sano's weight may hinder his playing ability. I think that is a very valid concern. Playing at 285 isn't the same for a 30 year old as it is for a 24 year old. That's what I got from Souhan's articles.
  13. Why not? I say we keep him as long as he is doing well. It's not like we have too much good starting pitching.
  14. Thanks for this informative article. It's good to be reminded about the farm teams and players. The Twins are more than than just the guys at Target Field.
  15. The Babe was a pitcher until he was 25. . . so Hi
  16. It may depend on what's available, Sometimes the available players don't match up with the needs of the team.
  17. Sano's problem is basically a bruised bone. I don't see how it is in any manner related to conditioning.
  18. BTW only 7 guys are hitting over .300.
  19. He certainly doesn't look fat in the photo. He fields 3rd base very well. He may strike out a lot but is hitting a good .267 with an occasional long ball. He is young so he will probably get better. Things are looking good for the Twins.
  20. I don't remember the first time I met my wife's parents. It must have been uneventful.
  21. Regardless it's been more fun this year than last.
