  1. Been nursing this beer so long I got that. Better walk it off rite to the fridge
  2. Truthfully Wade's Mom would take me at ping pong, but pong? Nah I got that
  3. Wade's Mom would kick my butt at pong
  4. Maybe Captain Kirk should hang out a little with Nelson.
  5. Can't believe Littel is only 23. Then Arraez 22 and Brusdar 21. This is a fun team and could be for a while.
  6. I think there may be some usefulness to asking these guys to dial it back a little say 97 in Brusdar's case as Dante suggested but I'm not sure it will happen. Look at Dyson. He pressed through pain for two years in apparent silence. There i$ much on the line and the lure of 100 mph and the riches that come with it will be too much to resist. As this era plays out we will aquire the data and learn the answers to these questions.
  7. With the velocity these guys now achieve we are going to have to handle them differently than in the past. I do believe it would be unwise to expect 150 plus innings from the Bruiser next year. It is also going to be an important strategy going forward to not waste these young arm's bullets in the minors. I don't think we know how long health can be maintained when human boundaries are pushed like this. Therefore I'm on board with the above mentioned strategy of starting him in the MLB pen next year while letting him work with the staff on another pitch and then transition him mid season to more of a starter role. That is the beauty of the new flexibility with which pitchers are now handled. Go from reliever to primary to starter.
  8. He is scheduled to see the same doctor that worked on Buxton this coming week. Probably letting some swelling calm down before they evaluate him. If he does have surgery he most likely won't pitch for the Twins again.
  9. The previous regime never gave the young guys a chance. I love putting Mayday out there again and the whole staff today for that matter. Tonight's game will serve all these inexperienced guys well as this year moves along.
  10. Watched the 87 Twins run there it was packed people on the floor.
  11. You have expensive taste my friend.
  12. Castle Danger 17-7 mmmm made right up the road don't ya know?
  13. Dobnak! This could be quite the story.
  14. It is true Cleveland may not be very taxed during a season ending hot steak as they miss the playoffs. Kinda sweet huh?
  15. I believe the Twins haven't had a ten game stretch under 500. They have one four game losing streak and one three game losing streak. I am too lazy to figure it out but that's probably because of the relaxed blissful fog this team has me in....
  16. Thanks! Twins Daily has been the unique place to go for some quality interaction. I'll be glad to do what I can.
  17. I agree Romo has been there done that and I count on him and his three rings coming through. This was the first time I detected a slight critique from Baldelli. He seemed to question whether Gibby was even trying to throw strikes and said unequivocally that you have to throw strikes to have a chance.
