We'll get to see Robbie Grossman in the field today.

This is a scary thought!

We'll get to see Robbie Grossman in the field today.

 

That looks like a covert mission to see if Grossman should be starting in LF over Rosario

Grossman works part-time as a groundskeeper? 

 

...

 It was the Chevy Cavalier, minus the pizzazz.

...

Now THAT paints quite a picture!

 

If so, how come everyone is firing up grills?

I have it on good authority revenge is a dish best served cold.

Grills are hot.

It's this type of snappy post that keeps me coming back to the Game Threads!

The White Sox DH today is Yolmer Sanchez. He has a career .587 OPS in 699 PA. Makes the Twins DH issues look pretty good.

Reminds me of 2006 when Jason Tyner was playing a healthy stretch at DH.

 

You put the Sunfire ahead of the Aztec? Really?

 

 

You young whippersnappers have never suffered. Try the Pacer, the Pinto, and the Corvair with its aluminum block engine in the friggin' trunk.

My first car was a '64 Rambler American. (Lord, I begged my parents to find something, anything, just a tiny bit cooler.) What was your mode of suffering?

 

Pretty much this color, too - they wanted to keep me humble, evidently.

 

Looking forward to an EGGcenelt game and HOPP-ing for a Twins win! 

Reminds me of 2006 when Jason Tyner was a healthy stench at DH.

FTFY.

That's a beaut. Mine was the '64 Corvair, purchsed for pennies on the dollar in 1967, about when Chief retired, because stuff melted. My brother and I pulled the engine and replaced the aluminum head and lots of other things one summer. Twice.

Maybe because with a LHP starter in Santiago the White Sox will have less LHB in the lineup so Grossman should get less chances in RF than in LF today.

Let's go Santiago!  Pitch angry!

This seems like exactly the wrong adjective.

Mauer

 

He did wash his hands and declare himself innocent of the blood of Jesus. After all, it was the leaders of the Pharisees and Sadducees who were calling for crucifixion. Pilate wanted no part of their plans but gave in to the demands of the crowd who had been whipped into a frenzy by the leaders.

Sounds like a manager with a front office problem to me.

Trying out my spring pass today. Sitting in the handicapped chairs not disturbed by ushers so far.

We had Ford Pinto that, while it may have been under-powered, the engine was bullet proof. Ran that car 200,000 miles. As for the Corvair, we had one, it always started but that's about all I remember about it.

First car: 65 Impala SS. Not the car for a 16 year old with all the responsibility of government spending.

Double play time!

We had a Nova at one time ... unfortunate name, imo. In Spanish it means 'no go' and it was pretty much a lemon. However, while in high school, the car I got to drive was my Dad's Skyhawk.

or double time.

My first car was a 1966 Buick Skylark 2 door hard top.  The trunk could hold as much as a pickup truck.

 

That Dynaflow transmission was smoooooth.

I didn't own a car 'til I got out of college, but I had access to a '61 Rambler, push button transmission. 199 cubic inches IIRC. I got to drive an underpowered Corvair a couple times, but it wouldn't start after a blizzard and I never drove it again. My older brother bought a new Ford Maverick--dirt cheap and built that way. $1995 brand new.

Twins got a break on the double and Hector took advantage.

A Grossman walk. Imagine that!

I guess I'll show my age by saying that my first car was a 1998 Chevy Lumina...

You have nothing to apologize for here.  We don't judge yutes on the Game Threads.  

 

Now if we were talking about Chief, that's a different story.  That guy's got serious age issues...

My first car was a 1957 Cadiilac hearse/ambulance. Creme colored to allow this flexibility. Bought it from a funeral home director in south Minneapolis, who had bought it from some small town that wanted that DanSan style flexibility from it. I think I paid about $800 for it, and immediately threw down some gorgeous shag carpet to hide the coffin rails. It's best features in descending order of importance, were the perfectly operating siren, the powerful dual side lamps with 360 degree turning capability, and most importantly, huge front to back windows. This was optimal for loading up the boys, and cruising through the drive-in at 46th and Hiawatha with the siren blaring and the side lamps postioned to give the patrons the best view of all those naked butts pressed up against the windwos. When my dad got me home from the police station after my arrest, as soon as my mom walked away he shook my hand, smiled, and said "clever". And those were the last words he ever spoke about the incident.
