September 21, 201610 yr Class of 2012: 2 Buxton32 Berrios37 Light - BOS42 Bard63 Melatokis72 Chargois97 Walker160 Duffey310 Baxendale340 Rogers WE've already got more out of that draft than one would eapect, with quite a bit of potential going forward.I'll wait until these guys actually succeed with some kind of consistency before I label it a success.
September 21, 201610 yr Author Every game thread, the RB story comes a little more into focus... http://66.media.tumblr.com/0cc121b5ad3783f00a803d8b9f0779fa/tumblr_o8070hr6tX1us88awo3_500.gif It's still gonna take more time.
September 21, 201610 yr That's the one. LA Law was good too.She's not Game Thread worthy though. http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-0-QHYdh5qmc/TZP7kZmssuI/AAAAAAAAAko/azZXdLPCV40/s1600/susan-dey-in-looker-16.jpg GT has standards? Who'da thunk?
September 21, 201610 yr I'll wait until these guys actually succeed with some kind of consistency before I label it a success. You mean succeed with the Twins, or... http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-cHwaF81r5qU/UwQxtA0SZPI/AAAAAAAAXpY/cFLrEBO_vs8/s1600/ortizpoops.jpg Edited September 21, 201610 yr by LaBombo
September 21, 201610 yr I might add, Susan Dey would easily surpass any standards so far exhibited on GT!
September 21, 201610 yr Bert's confidence in Tommy Tutone being a starter somewhere in MLB next year would be a little more credible if Tommy were able to crack one of the worst rotations in baseball this year.
September 21, 201610 yr Bert's confidence in Tommy Tutone being a starter somewhere in MLB next year would be a little more credible if Tommy were able to crack one of the worst rotations in baseball this year. Yeah, the straw-grasping and ill-placed ray of hope love for obvious journeymen by our TV duo has reached loopy proportions here in September.
September 21, 201610 yr I didn't think this team was going to be good this year, but no way did I ever think it would be such an unmitigated disaster. In a perverse fashion they earned almost every loss with some failure in any of the games various disciplines!
September 21, 201610 yr I might add, Susan Dey would easily surpass any standards so far exhibited on GT! Best Partridge Family episode ever: After hearing strange voices in his head, Luke finds out that it's Laurie's braces causing a disturbance in the Force.
September 21, 201610 yr Dick: '...Tigers owning the Twins here at Target Field this season...' As opposed to the Twins' dominance of other teams at home this year, I guess...
September 21, 201610 yr Did Vargas just high five Cabrera when Cabrera went around first? Perhaps Vargas knows something about a pending personnel move in the works and is getting an early start on making nice with the Latin superstar? (FWIW- I think I read that Cabrera, Ortiz and Vargas all have the same agent.) Edited September 21, 201610 yr by jokin
September 21, 201610 yr GT has standards? Who'da thunk?I'm trying to maintain the Twins Daily brand standards. I don't want to be held responsible for bringing them down any further than they already are now.
September 21, 201610 yr Perhaps Vargas knows something about a pending personnel move in the works and is getting an early start on making nice with the Latin superstar? (FWIW- I think I read that Cabrera, Ortiz and Vargas all have the same agent.)Yeah, if I'm the pitcher (or really anyone on the team), I'm not happy my 1B is high-fiving the opponent who just hit a HR off me/us.
September 21, 201610 yr I'm trying to maintain the Twins Daily brand standards. I don't want to be held responsible for bringing them down any further than they already are now. Does mentioning Scarlett Johansson offset the mention of Susan Dey?
September 21, 201610 yr Yeah, if I'm the pitcher (or really anyone on the team), I'm not happy my 1B is high-fiving the opponent who just hit a HR off me/us. In all seriousness, I'm pretty sure Vargas knows he's a goner anyways...
September 21, 201610 yr In all seriousness, I'm pretty sure Vargas knows he's a goner anyways...Big Papi v2.0?
September 21, 201610 yr Big Papi v2.0? I'm torn on this possibility. I've always hoped for the second coming of Papi from his days in Beloit- heck Papi is Kennys' idol and mentor, but it would sure hurt if he ends up blossoming for another club, ala Ortiz. Going through that mental ordeal over the last 15 years was enough. Edited September 21, 201610 yr by jokin
September 21, 201610 yr Big Papi v2.0? It is kind of mind-boggling that the only reason Vargas is getting any reps is because Plouffe, Sano, Park and Mauer are unavailable and in effect Vargas is currently sharing the 1st base duties tonight, just barely beating out James Beresford.
September 21, 201610 yr http://gdbaif.com/images/96/96-04.jpg Anyone got the magic number on us "clinching" #1 (#30) over (under) the Braves?
September 21, 201610 yr Perhaps Vargas knows something about a pending personnel move in the works and is getting an early start on making nice with the Latin superstar? (FWIW- I think I read that Cabrera, Ortiz and Vargas all have the same agent.) MigCab to the Twins, maybe? Sure the odds are against it, but nobody has more room under the talent cap to sign a megastar than the Twins. Edited September 21, 201610 yr by LaBombo
September 21, 201610 yr Does mentioning Scarlett Johansson offset the mention of Susan Dey?TOTALLY OFFSET! REDEMPTION!
September 21, 201610 yr Anyone got the magic number on us "clinching" #1 (#30) over (under) the Braves?Five games up with 11 to play. I think the magic number is 7. If the Twins lose their next 7 games, they would be at a minimum up 5 with 4 games to play. (Atlanta holds the tiebreaker).
September 21, 201610 yr I'm sorry Angelina filed for divorce! Your Friend,operation mindcrime \m/No you're not...and neither am I.
September 21, 201610 yr Hmm, I'm driving 385 miles to witness this in person tomorrow. And we're damn glad to have you.
