I don't think we'll have any real idea of where a lot of players and coaches fit in until the new President of Baseball Operations and new General Manager are hired. I think (okay, maybe hope) the off-season is interesting.

Eh, there's also the Host Stove League and Winter Meetings. Along with ongoing front office realignment. And, will Molitor retain his job? Plenty of stuff to keep an eye on.

You could say that about a lot of us.

I'm not quite sure how it happened, but just about the time this dreadful season is ending work slows down so I have more time to pay attention to the Twins. Funny how things work out sometimes.

Careful, you'll be writing game threads next.

Wow, I lose things all the time, due to my advancing age, but I've never lost a whole job before! Did you check under the bed? The closet? Trunk of the car? * *truly sorry to hear that. Hopefully, I got a faint grin.

Sounds like the perfect person for a game thread this year.

I, for one, am not ruling out dementia.

Same recipe I use.

...the IRS would put a lien on your property until you proved the innocent provenance of said dollar..

There's always next year. Yes, take that however you wish.

Funny, I don't remember posting that on facebook...

It was fun, honest. Honestly honest.

I think Mauer needs to retire. Every time he dives for a baseball, I cringe. Joe's brain injury problems are well documented. No matter what, Joe's career is over in a couple of years and I prefer to think that he's able to spend the decades after his career enjoying himself rather than suffering ongoing symptoms from concussions.

I thought this was how reservations are normally handled. Learn something new every day.

I'm not sure if you're offering opportunity or punishment.....

You'll be singing a different tune in about 10 weeks. What with being Way Up North and all rather than just Up North.

The image shown not only shows the ball basically in the palm of the hand, the glove is pointed at the center of the catcher versus the glove pointing at the knee of the catcher.

The reality: (edited, found better video)

A little Floyd madness for the madness of the season.

I don't mind on field celebrations. The only celebration I thought was out of hand was the walk-off win a couple of months ago. And that was only because of the reports the celebration continued on in the clubhouse well after the game. Enjoying the win at the moment is one thing. Enjoying the win to the point of disregarding the reality of just how bad the team has been is another.

I am reluctantly in the "trade Dozeir" camp. He needs to be traded to a contending team, which would be doing him a favor, for a boatload of prospects. Santana is a decent pitcher and might command a decent return. However, I believe he's on the downside and may not bring as much of a return as people think.

What, since then, has convinced your mother otherwise?

What kind of weird un-American sport are you rattling on about? (Yah, I'm still alive, barely. Systems Admin for a school system + school starting=Long days and no TD)

Yeah, but when you're filtering to the point it's only about 1% wheat, then it's probably not worth it.
