Rosie was **** lucky Dozier was on second and not first. So much talent, yet what a moron he can be at times. *Insert Joe Mauer voice here* "Frustrating..."

Seriously, Rosie. That's inexcusable.

Atta boy, Rosey. Now let's go off that & get some runs!

Always. Every single time. Bonus points for throwing in a "THE TURKEYS ARE HITTING THE GROUND LIKE SACKS OF WET CEMENT! OH, THE HUMANITY!!!"

Yep. Also the one where Herb & his crew are profiled on a parody of the TV show 'Real People.' They called it 'Real Families.' Best ever was when the camera crew ambushes Herb & family on Sunday morning, while Herb & wife are still in bed. Empty beer cans strewn about the room. They russell up the kids, get everybody dressed up all nice, and head out to church like it was a regular part of their Sunday morning routine. The family goes up the church door, but she's locked tight. Then it dawns on Herb's wife, the annoying secretary for Edward Rooney in 'Ferris Bueller's Day Off'; "It's a synagogue..."

Well done, sir. Truth be told, that sort of research was a sacrifice I'd also be willing to make.

You are hereby pardoned!

I believe so.

Either you have zero shreads of self-respect left, or your wife clearly reads this message board. What's her screen name?

FIFY

If we're talking old sitcoms and WKRP in Cincinnati doesn't come up, that's an Andy Travisty. To stay on topic, the episode where the station takes on hated rival WPIG in a softball game is an absolute riot. You know the one. Les tries to avenge a childhood wrought with violin lessons instead of ballgames by trying to round up enough players around the WKRP office to field a team. He gets only one taker- Jennifer Marlowe. "It will be a great chance for me to try out my jogging shorts." To which every other office member quickly responds with a decisive, "I"m in..."

Couple of months ago, my daughter attempted to take a dig at me and my age. She didn't go nearly as hard at me as she could have. "Yeah, remember that, Dad? Back when you had to flip your phone?"

Yep. We had that same model remote control in our house, too. When programming on any of the other three channels seemed more appealing, the old man would would enlist his remote control- I called it 'me'- and the channel would be changed in short order.

How does this even matter?

Robby I. reference. Holy cow. Drink a fullby on that one.

Esco definitely one of my favorite Twins.

Somebody say it was?

Really, really getting tired of seeing the third spot in the order be a black hole.

Wish the Pirates still war there pill balks hats.

In 1991, the Twins were 23-25 after losing to KC 4-1 on May 31st. They then snapped off 15 in a row, climbing from 5th place to 1st place in the AL West. They were tied in first for a couple of days, but then cruised to an easy AL West title by 8 games. Interesting, useless side note to this story: The end of the game that snapped the Twins 15 game winning streak in Baltimore was being watched by Lieutenant Daniel Kaffee in his house in the movie 'A Few Good Men.' He couldn't handle the end of that streak, either. Also, the Twins 0-9 start to the dismal 2016 season pretty much put them out of the race by mid-May. Point being- you can't win the division in April, but you sure can lose it.

This hears a grate addition of the GT.

I mostly agree with this, but baseball is a situational game. For example, I hated Logan Morrison, pinch-hitting, squaring to bunt in the Top of the 7th after Castro's leadoff walk, Twins down 5-4. Why do I hate it? Among the reasons: * Assuming Morrison sacs successfully, you have only moved a runner from 1st to 2nd. Still takes a hit to the outfield to get the run in, and it's Castro. Not a given he scores from 2nd on a hit. * Castro only represented the tying run. Twins were visitors, and playing to tie on the road is a silly proposition. Twins were willing to give up one of their 9 remaining outs to merely tie the game. Twins were willing to compromise their chance to take the lead and a potential big inning to settle for one run that merely ties the game, while the Buccos had 3 more outs left than the Twins. Big-time dislike. * If the Twins were the home team in the late innings, and their opponent had a guy coming off a 38-dinger season square around to sac bunt with nobody out and a runner on first base, I'd say "Thank you very much for not letting that guy swing away..."

For me, and it's not always easy to discern, but I do draw a distinction between a guy using a platform to sound off about something, and simply answering what he was asked.

Adrianza's ball may have still been in the batter's box when he kicked it.
