It feels kinda good to go on a big losing streak and remain in contention. Losing streaks happen and so do winning streaks. If the Twins can just keep hanging on... Another winning streak would do won

It's great to have you back, Brian.  I wish that the Twins could hit as well as you can write.

That might be a little unsettling, esp. if it followed the movie where the Oz characters were versions of people she new from her real life ---  RB as the scarecrow -- Chief as the wizard -- Bark as a poppy pusher -- Hawk H. as one of the talking trees etc.  Having to rely on these people to help her get back to Chicago.  Hopefully no one will try to sing.

 

And why would anyone want to get back to Chicago?

One reason Why St Louis wins:  they don't worry about signing a guy like Jhonny Peralta, who many would describe as being in his "decline phase," to a 4 yr, $53M contract, to play SS no less.  

 

They're not looking to "get younger," they're not worried about "blocking" some minor leaguer, and they're confident in their own assessment of the player and his ability.  

 

So far, they've been rewarded with a 116 OPS+ in 2014, and a 142 OPS+ to date in 2015.  

 

They figure the best way to win is to put the best players on the field, and they don't care where they get em from.

Don't be gross.

I get that all the time from people, but be reassured, I am not Michael Gross the actor. I am a big fan though. His work on Family Ties was extraordinary! If we had 6-7 hours, I would love to talk about some Meredith Baxter Berney. Maybe another day.

Yeah... I see your logic... but those two home runs are the major reason why they are winning.

What?

 

Why are you glossing over Tina Yothers?

Maybe a MBB thread? It would have my attention!
