  1. Great list, Mikey! I can't even rank all those games myself, they're all a great jog down memory lane! I went down the youtube rabbit hole for a while after that... My first Twins memory was that 65 season. I remember crying like a 6 year old when they lost that game 7. Cuz... I was a 6 yr-old, I guess... What a sweet list! Thanks for posting this!
  2. Heh... I was watching that playoff game in '87 with the gang at Stub and Herb's in Dinkytown. That pickoff play between Laudner and Gaetti was a dagger! I have never found any video of that game, anywhere, as much as I'd love to see that again.
  3. It does seem rather far-fetched as an option, but.... with this FO, who knows? And as for a dour demeanor-- hell, I WANT my starter to have a demeanor as dour as possible when he takes that mound! I want him to wanna beat the snot out of whoever's in that batter's box!
  4. I don't think I'm going out on a limb here, but I believe that Yankee series would have turned out a little differently with Bux in the lineup all 3 games.

  6. Sucks that we lost, but by gum, that was so untypical of a Twins loss to the Evil Empire. Times past, they'd have laid down long before the 9th, even. But the way they kept battling was inspiring. On another note, why, oh why, has there been no BP help coming via trade since the Break, or even before? It's not like this has been a secret all along, just coming to bite us in the @$$ now? My God, Falvine- we have a plethora of young OFers, and 1B-DH types, not all of whom are going to fit on the 40 when the time comes. The need is now- actually, the need is months ago, so don't let us give up possible chips for nothing in a couple of years, when we had a chance to do something now!
  7. Agreed. Arraez and Polanco should have been flipped in the order at least a couple of weeks ago. Jorge looks completely fatigued lately, and his BA is in free fall.
  8. Always a big thanks for these reports- they're an especially good read after a tough MLB loss. Heh... "Bailey Ober bounced back nicely in this one after allowing a season high three-earned runs..." I think the big club would gladly take that from any of their pitching staff these daze...
  9. I'm thinkin' Trevor better be making a reservation at Murray's, to treat Ehire and Max to the biggest butter-knife steaks on the menu. Maybe he can split the check with Castro.

  11. Well, we keep sitting around like this, shuffling AAA deck chairs, we'll be on the list of "sellers" soon enough.
  12. Calling an 0-2 curveball is not the problem. The problem is a pitcher who spins the damn thing over the heart of the plate, instead of burying it 6 feet deep. That's on Trevor may for not pitching like a major-leaguer.
  13. Arghhhh.... Sad to see Rooker go down just then. (Hope he's OK- sounds like he took an almighty nut-megging). Glad to see Larnach get moved up, but wondering if it has anything to do with seeing which of the 2 to keep around, and which to package in a trade....
  14. Yep. That ol' "loading the bases" ploy is not good for this team. That was the death knell.
  15. Did you hear that? That was the heartbeat that went by when considering this question. Yep.
  16. I really really really like Jaylin Davis. What makes me a little sad, though, is the more progress he makes through the ranks, and the hotter he gets in AAA, the more he looks like a trade plum.
  17. After a stretch of not-so-hot baseball leading up to the break, they've come out in fine form the last couple of days. There's nothing like pasting the team chasing you, right in front of their own fans! Overcame a Gibby implosion, and a near-Jake implosion as well, with some tough relief pitching and timely late hitting. Now, I really really really hope Bux is OK, and Eddie R comes back soon, too. We can't take another outfield hit like we did last month. Interesting on the trade front, that Boston gave up a pair of 17-yr-olds in the DSL for a solid major-league starter. Maybe we won't get hosed too badly when we finally trade for one. On a lighter note, Sale got greased again! 3-9, ERA over 4. Doesn't matter he's not a White Sock anymore, I hate the Red Sox even more! Haw haw haw....! *Heh... Edit time* I looked up the baseball ref. on those 2 kids the O's got. Collectively, they weigh about the same as The Crusher.
