September 1, 201511 yr Interesting Lineup TonightDozierMauerPlouffeSanoHunterRosarioEscobarSuzukiBuxton I like how we upgraded the 5 hole!
September 1, 201511 yr 2 out of 3 would be good, BUT, I want a Twins SWEEP!!!! That would satisfy me !!!
September 1, 201511 yr Harrelson served as a Chicago White Sox announcer from 1982 to 1985 and briefly left broadcasting during the 1986 season to become the White Sox's General Manager. During his one season as GM, Harrelson fired field manager Tony La Russa (who was soon hired by the Oakland Athletics) and assistant general manager Dave Dombrowski (who became baseball's youngest general manager with the Montreal Expos just two years later). Harrelson also traded rookie Bobby Bonilla, later a six-time All-Star, to the Pittsburgh Pirates for pitcher José DeLeón. Love it
September 1, 201511 yr Back in the day, when they discovered that a person was left handed, they would chop their left hand off and make them a regular person. Cruel, but true story. There is a regular poster here who used to think largely out of the left side of his brain -- some doctors wanted to remedy that with some ill-advised brain surgery. He somehow survived -- but you can tell from his posts that something is not quite right with his mind (ok - not right at all). I will give the person some privacy and not say who he is, but he might be a moderator. Also a cruel, but true story,
September 1, 201511 yr Love it I'd love to hear the discussion that led to him becoming the GM. "Let's get Hawk in here!" "The TV guy?" "Yeah, he makes good points on the show!" "But...he has no experience, what makes you think this is a good idea at all? We have that kid Dombrowski we have been grooming for almost a decade now." "WHO? Give me HAWK!" Or...that's how I like to imagine it going.

September 1, 201511 yr Author You guys are mean. I like it. P.S. - Extra credit for anyone who can capture and post a sound bite of the Hawk after Sano hits a skyscraper. I bet Bark can cobble together a photo.
September 1, 201511 yr Author From a purely mathematical standpoint, the Sox may be in it if they win all their games. I look at it this way. With 32-33 games to go for most teams, some team in the AL is going to get hot and go 23-10. We just don't know which one, but it happens every year. It could be some first place team that proceeds to run away with the regular season title, or some last place team that gets hot and salvages a near-.500 record. If it happens to be the White Sox, it will put their season record at 84-78. I don't think that's going to be enough wins. So for my purposes, the Sox are out of it. It would take more than just a hot final month, but a miracle. Yeah... But what if they go 24-9?
September 1, 201511 yr Author sounds like you just invented the boomerang ball. Don't Taunt Happy Fun Ball
September 2, 201511 yr Author Back in the day, when they discovered that a person was left handed, they would chop their left hand off and make them a regular person. Cruel, but true story. Makes perfect sense to me http://www.handresearch.com/news/2012/left-handed-us-presidents.jpg

September 2, 201511 yr Don't Taunt Happy Fun BallThe next time you and the cousins come through Chicago you'll have to experience WhirleyBall.
September 2, 201511 yr Is there any science behind how you become right or left handed? I'm absolutely right hand dominant, but swing left handed for golf, hockey, and baseball.
September 2, 201511 yr Shh ChiTown wanted to keep that under wraps. Um, I believe he said 'He' not 'She'
September 2, 201511 yr Author The next time you and the cousins come through Chicago you'll have to experience WhirleyBall. Just watched a video on it... Looks perfect for me... Sports while sitting down.
September 2, 201511 yr CB Buckor loves nothing more than to make the game about himself, and I don't understand how he wasn't fired many years ago.
September 2, 201511 yr Author Is there any science behind how you become right or left handed? I'm absolutely right hand dominant, but swing left handed for golf, hockey, and baseball. No... I'm sorry... It was just random bad luck
September 2, 201511 yr Just watched a video on it... Looks perfect for me... Sports while sitting down. Well, yes, but the better description is sports while in bumper cars.
September 2, 201511 yr Author Um, I believe he said 'He' not 'She' Oh... I thought those were typos. Well I have no idea who she was talking about then.
September 2, 201511 yr Um, I believe he said 'He' not 'She'Is it possible that he changed to she during the surgery?
September 2, 201511 yr Molitor's challenge success rate coming into the game was 65%, which ranks fourth in the MLB. Last year Gardy was 54%. Guess which manager led MLB last year, and so far this year? (Prize to be unannounced).
September 2, 201511 yr Author Is it possible that he changed to she during the surgery? I don't think so http://www.upperleftedge.com/wp-content/comment-image/416.jpg
September 2, 201511 yr Author Ran real fast. I'm a big fan of aggressive base running. It looks like I'm going to end up a Rosario Fan.
