  1. Why didn't the trail running go? Baserunning blunder. Sure enough, next pitch is a hit.
  2. Did you bring the Twins with you? Not sure they realized the game had started either.
  3. It might be a bit late for that. They've got to be close to scraping through the bottom of the dumpster by now, right?
  4. That didn't take long. Good thing they challenged to get one baserunner off the bags.
  5. So attendance will be extra poor today. That's gotta be 3/4 of the butts in seats.
  6. I think Al Czervik has a solution for you... http://www.orlandogolfblogger.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/02/caddyshackgolfbag.jpg
  7. I hope that you shook your fist in the air with extra anger to show your dominance!
  8. Breaking unsurprising news: First pitch will be delayed.
  9. Nice job. It seems to have worked in Eagan! Perhaps a little more instruction as to the proper location that you want the rain to stop would be in order?
  10. When I was in high school, I worked at a fast food restaurant. One day, I was working the drive-thru when a customer rolled up to the window and said that I should pursue a career in radio. Witty, stupid teenage wsnydes quickly responds, "Are you saying that I'm ugly?" The guy chuckles a bit and points to the decal on his car door. He was a DJ of a local radio station heading to a promotional gig somewhere in town. We had a good laugh about it but that was not one of my finer moments in life.
  11. The piercing stare is another key piece of evidence.
  12. I want to like this comment because I know exactly what he's saying, but my mouse appears to be rebelling against the notion on my behalf.
  13. Well, just because it's going to happen anyway doesn't mean that you should just hand the opportunity to her on a silver platter. One's dignity must be preserved!
  14. I'm not sure that you realize the magnitude of what you just said. So you are giving her permission and opportunity to tell you that you're wrong? Do you realize what you've just said?!
  15. Maybe, but it won't start on time if they do get it in.
  16. With the way this season has unfolded, I think his loss has had a larger impact than many figured it would, myself included. I'm not sure what to expect from him next year, but if he can regain the form he had before they moved him to the bullpen it'll be just like acquiring a pretty good starter. That would be a huge boost to the rotation for sure.
  17. I don't disagree. I don't think any new call up can realistically be relied upon. You can hope obviously, but young players will be young players. I'm not "rushing" him to be a key cog this year, I'm "rushing" him in hopes that he can be a meaningful contributor next year. The key for me would be what they give up to get a Pavano-esque pitcher. I hated the Capps and Jepsen deals because they weren't clear upgrades to anything currently on the roster and even at the time I didn't really consider them cheap. That's a lower bar at this point I think, but it's worth noting.
  18. I think Kintlzer was up before Berrios was even in the dugout. I'm with drjim, I would have been fine either way but Kintzler hasn't been used a lot recently and if you get him up you should use him at that point.
  19. If this is the approach, wouldn't Erv's value by higher at the deadline rather than the offseason? I would imagine that if Gonsalves keeps up what he's doing, he's coming up in September for at least a cup of coffee regardless. I don't it would be rushing him in that scenario, it would be prudent on the Twins part. Give him a taste like Berrios got. I have little doubt that actually helped him immensely this past offseason and we're seeing the rewards of that this season. That sort of turnaround isn't what I expect from Gonsalves, but it is something to point towards.
  20. If the written verbiage wasn't enough for me to like this, the Mr. Burns video secured the "like". Well done. My wife is shy in public, but will talk my ear off when we're home alone. It also never fails that when we're driving somewhere in a silence only a married couple will be comfortable in that when a song comes on the radio that I really like, that is when she decides that words need to be said. We could be sitting there silently for 15 minutes. The second Stairway comes on the radio, "Do you know what Alice did at work the other day..." Just one of those quirks that makes you chuckle to yourself and say, "Yup, this is the woman I married."
