If you are the driver, drive slower than 50mph so the bomb is never armed. If you are a passenger, get off at the next stop and transfer to another bus. If you are a dispatcher, re-route the bus to ISIS headquarters.
Do you remember hearing St. Louis Cardinals night games on radio KMOX (St. Louis)?
The crew was Jack Buck, Harry Caray and Joe Garagiola.
It was clear as a bell at night when Twin City stations could barely be heard.
The best Garagiola story I ever heard him tell was the following:
"I know a baseball star who wouldn't report the theft of his wife's credit cards because the thief spends less than she does".
Aaron Hicks is worth no more or no less because he was once a number one draft pick. Chris Parmelee, Alex Wimmers and Levi Michael were also number one draft picks and they are nearly worthless now.
Yesterday, I used SSS to argue, so please excuse my 180-degree jump-shift! SSS be damned! Daniel Palka now has a 3.334 OPS, and I see NO REASON that he can't finish his 2016 Twins season in in the Big Leagues at that level!
It will be much easier for the Twins to replace a veteran at the end of April when he has a CURRENT ERA of 6.66. At this point in time, the hopes of Spring Training masks reality.
The Twins did a great job defensively upgrading a defense-first position. Murphy, Hicks and Centeno are big defensive upgrades over Fryer and Herrmann. As far as Fryer and Hermann battling for backup jobs for their new teams, often a team's FUTURE starting catcher is NOT the current MLB backup catcher. The future starting catcher is in often currently getting more reps in the minors to prepare himself for his awaited promotion
Shaquille O'Neal .. Height=7'1", Weight=325 lbs.; Played HS, College and NBA basketball for 26 years until he was 39 years-old. Tell me again about the pounding on Sano's joints.
I am an ex-engineer, and what you are not factoring in is that Sano's size gives him more support structure to withstand the pounding.
Tall, massive buildings don't collapse because they have massive foundations.
So, you detected no sarcasm in the statement "Sano is more likely to dislocate his jaw yawning in the outfield, than to get tired in the outfield.'..because I really thought that someone had actually dislocated his jaw yawning in the outfield? You MAY be taking yourself a little too seriously, if you thought that was an actual argument. Sano either plays 3B or OF and the argument was that OF will tire him out. Compared to WHAT, if 3B is not implied?
Not comparing them. Just suggesting that the MLB outfield experience has been done by many non-athletes. My argument would be that MLB third basemen also get tired and worn down over the course of a 162 games season played over about 180 days?
Sammy Sosa and Kevin Pillar injured themselves by sneezing. Kevin Love injured himself doing knuckle push-ups Other injuries have occurred from cutting a hand while separating frozen hamburgers, chipping a tooth on a frozen donut or running away from dream spiders. So what was your point?
The final two home runs were glorius. I mean, they were given up by Glorius… Austin Glorius. Two pitchers that the Twins should acquire, and never will be heard a discouraging word....... 1) Damien Magnifico and 2) Austin Glorius
I have NEVER said or implied that "their evaluation of a player's ability is always right" or "'Well whatever the Twins think and do is right." My point was only that I think that an evaluation of a player's skills, based on scout's evaluation is MORE LIKELY to be correct IN MY OPINION. That is not meant to ignore other opinions, just ME giving MORE credibility to opinions of professionals. You are certainly as entitled to your opinion as anyone, and we are all entitled to believe to what and to whom we think are more credible.
I thought "one-and-done" referred to college careers. I guess "one-and-done" pro careers do require special prep. Other materials provided could be: 1) a punching bag with his girlfriend's face painted on, and 2) a pager for 24-hour hooker service.
