because baseball? -
I've never written this before, but after seeing the replay that clearly shows that Polanco was safe at home .... fire Molitor. I can't believe I wrote it. There it is.

"You talkin' to me? You talkin' to me? Well, then who the hell else are you talking - You talking to me? Well, I'm the only one here."

What is more improbable than a hog flying? Two walks in one game by Rosario.

Thank you.

Anybody know how to attach a saved image without having "Attached Thumbnails" bothering me?

Article: Why Rosie Isn't Right
ScrapTheNickname replied to Jeremy Nygaard's topic in Twins Daily Front Page News
I never heard the hit in the face by a baseball story regarding Rosario. Thanks for sharing, Jeremy. My brother when he was about 8 got a pitched ball in the face because he was standing in the batter's box looking for a sign from the third base coach. He never played another game. When on to a success career as a face transplant surgeon. The sentence before this one is a lie. The others are true. -

I can't find the article by Law. Is it hiding behind a paywall at ESPN? -

I agree with you about Molitor helping. Buxton's problem is wild fast swinging, not letting the ball get into the zone, going the other way with less than a full cut, etc. - all those things Molitor was a master at. My 2 pennies. -

Who knew if he was ready? They apparently thought he was. He wasn't. Now we go from here, with the added knowledge that he cannot hit major league pitching by a mile. It's a good "demotion." -

A small bone to pick regarding Buxton having "clobbered" it or "tore it up" (as some have written) in AAA. Like there's nothing left there for him to learn ... Buxton has a total of 188 plate appearances at AAA. It is not beyond reason that he spend substantial time there, including all of next year (and the year after that, if need be) because right now he is an A+ defender and an F+ hitter. -
If the Twins hang on to win they will be 19-11 in their last 30 games, good for a winning percentage of .633. Winning is funner than losing.

I like how the Tampa Bay announcers/commentators don't complain about balls or strikes that are close or even wrong. I'm sure Hawk is watching and learning.

But if you're carrying a load of rice crispies how do you stop?!

My vote for quote of the night.

He should be a beer server in Munich. Hands full of 12 mugs and 6 on top of his head.

Grossman would have had that.

Ben Revere is hitting .213.
-
Ah!

Does anyone know why Evan Longoria has decided to play his career out in Tampa F'ing Bay?
-
I don't know why this image ... because baseball?
-
He's not so bad. I've gotten used to him. He's like family. They just wear you down, and down.
-
Nunez was not an All-Star. He made the All-Star team. There is a difference. He has picked up his offensive game in the last full year of play - good for him - he made himself a semi-valuable trading chip.
-
Regarding selling high ... Dozier has been playing splendiferous second base and is hitting a career-best OPS this year ... if Antony has find the right piece, I'd let the Bull Dozier go.
