I will add ... man, am I prolific tonight ... that the new rule against take-out slides at second base has really cleaned up the game. Does anyone know if league-wide double plays are up this year?
If Gardy were managing and he played Shafer and Beresford night after night we would accuse him of playing mediocre players like he himself had been ... Molitor, by comparison, should be playing future Hall of Famers. I don't know. Not my best post.
Grossman nightmare tonight: He lets a ball get by him, goes to get it but kicks it, picks it up but the ball slips out of his hand, then for some unsightly reason he thinks there are three outs and he tosses the ball to a fan in the stands. Then he wakes up and says oh thank god only 2 of those things really happened to me I must still be a member of The Twins.
I talked to a friend in San Francisco last night and he asked if I was still following the Twins. I said I was and he said why? I said you have that even year thing going and he said it was like a curse that should be broken. I think they're losing their pep out there.
My third grade teacher was a stick in the mud, but one time she accidentally put a reel on incorrectly so we watched a film about animals backwards.They would eat things backwards, if can imagine. The reason it is memorable this is memorable is that the teacher who seemingly had no sense of humor let us watch the entire film laughing our heads off.
