[Pardon My Dinger]

So, this Burnett thing...it's possibly a depth move so that they can call up Chargois, right?

It's so sad to see someone turn delusional right in front of our very eyes!

God I hope so.. If Burnett gets the call up before Chargois... Buzz, your girlfriend. WOOF.

Mine is HGTV ... heh. I really want a tiny house some day. <G>

 

I thought apartment life in downtown Chicago was pretty much the same thing... without the yard.

[Winston Smith]

Duensing signs with Balt. they must be preparing for a big trade!!

[Riverbrian]

 

The Twins agreed to a minor league deal with Sean Burnett. Yea!

 

He actually might work out and that bullpen sure could use someone working out.

[S.]

Berrios for Duensing trade incoming. Or maybe some sort of 3 team trade, Berrios for Duensing and Butera.

[Riverbrian]

 

Go straight down 75 on the right side just before Iowa!

 

Ok... But if I'm that close to Iowa... I might keep going and grab a Maid-Rite.

True, rumor has it that the Twins are trading Nolasco to the Birds for Duensing. We are then turning around and trading Duensing and selling high on R Grossman to Toronto for Donaldson. Donaldson. Unable to unseat Trevor Plouffe will play LF, giving us an all IF/OF. On a related move, Joe Vavra has been demoted to Rochester.

Also, go to Casey's General Store and get some breakfast pizza.

I think it's... Let's find someone who won't give up two homers in an inning move

Caseys at 6 am for the plain donuts right outa the fryer, dripping in grease. Every bite, one less year of watching the Twins!

Is 3 ok? We have a bunch of guys who could give up 3 in an inning, no problem.

So they settle with 1?

[jokin]

 

From MLBTR:

 

"He’ll hope to make a return to the Majors for the first time since 2014 under his new deal, as surgery to repair an elbow impingement in 2013 and Tommy John surgery in 2014 have slowed his career."

 

Yeah, I got nothing.....

 

So it's basically a trade with the Dodgers.. Casey Fien for AJ... er Smiley... er... Sean Burnett.  Just for fun, check each player's AAA stats for the Dodgers. Yep, makes absolutely no sense.

[Pardon My Dinger]

Pssshhhh. I've never felt better in my life! So, like, if anyone's crazy...man...like, maybe I think you're crazy.

You kid, you kid...

[operation mindcrime]

When happens with Nunez when Escobar comes back, does he play LF?

OK, I actually looked him up. It turns out he opted out from the Bravos after opting out from the Dodgers. Definitely had a better line there. Ladies and gents, though he's going on age 35 in a couple months... though still not good enough for the last place Braves... meet your very next Twins bullpen call-up! ***

 

 

***(And leaves Twins fans scratching there heads yet again, wondering out loud if any of the power arms will ever appear in Twins uniform before this decade is out).

Escobar to utility role?

[Pardon My Dinger]

Molitor tells Nunez that he's the new starting SS. Then, Nunez gets so excited, his hat jumps off his head and makes a boing sound. 

[S.]

Escobar and Nunez both to the bullpen. I mean, its gotta be an upgrade, right? Right?

[HitInAPinch]

Nunez at 2B and Escobar at SS tonight

[twinsnorth49]

 

Forget Tim Horton's... Meet him at VJ's Drive Inn for the best hot dog in Winnipeg! 

[Vanimal46]

 

Nunez at 2B and Escobar at SS tonight

Good. No Dozier in the lineup tonight. Let's give him some time to reflect on how great he feels. 

[twinsnorth49]

 

if VJ's hasn't been on "Diners, Drive-ins and Dives" it doesn't exist.

How are the Unicorns Blake? Have you rode the pink one yet?

[twinsnorth49]

 

Guy Fieri doesn't drive beyond US borders! Overall I'm not impressed with his selection of restaurants for the show, at least in the Austin area. He chose an average BBQ place and an over-rated cafe...

Wrong

[twinsnorth49]

 

I refuse to start another discussion on wieners! Beside me and North are heading straight to the Polish sausage stand. Krysmawhachumacallit, or whatever!

Word brah!
