  1. Good as a hit. At least right there. Now, how about a grand salami?
  2. Zounds--- Castro picks himself up for that 3-0. And Rogers for that gopher ball. And maybe the whole bloody team.
  3. Gee, with the BP looking for one guy to step up, we surely have no shortage of guys who are willing to step down. Thanks, Taylor. The only bummer here is Alex Meyer is not in line for the win. EDIT-- plus, with that dinger in the 8th, it's like that stupid rally monkey "worked."
  4. Back in LA daze, I went to Angels games whenever the Twinks were in town, and various and sundry others, depending on the opponent. But my favorite was a Yankee game, on a beautiful SoCal afternoon, with a sellout crowd and a rowdy atmosphere- lotta NY fans, of course. One guy near my upper-deck section took it upon himself to taunt the Angels and their fans as much as possible, and was getting folks really riled up He finally went and purchased a rally monkey doll, and a load of licorice whips, which he fastened into a noose, and dangled the unfortunate primate from the front railing. I nearly wet myself laughing, but others took offense. Fisticuffs ensued, and I was seriously worried that somebody was going over that railing... My favorite part was when some guy yelled at him about his noose trick, "Hey, there are kids here, you son-of-a-*****!"
  5. Whew! Exams today, so just catching up- Gee Wally, who knew Alex Meyer would look like a world-beater? When he was with us, a lotta people thought he was a creep or sum'pin.
  6. Down the road, can you tell me one FA pitcher, especially BP arms, who would want to come here, given Molly's misuse of the current crop? If I had a mid-90's fastball, instead of the mid-60's one I possess, I would sure think twice about coming to Minny.
  7. I would stop trying to pretend to contend this year, especially by relying on aging retreads the way we have. I see absolutely no downside to throwing in "green rookies with iffy scouting reports" to get their feet wet, and get some MLB experience. So they get lit up? Who, in the current BP hasn't? Let them get their baptism by fire, and get an idea of what they need to hone down in the A-levels. And who knows, maybe one or two of them catches on? 2017 is not the Twins year. And I will gladly eat a huge helping of crow if somehow it turns into meaningful September baseball. But I am thoroughly discouraged with the pedestrians the FO keeps running out there, and Molly's wholesale mismanagement of even the pieces he has. The point's been made umpteen times on these threads about why in the heck they're not calling up, or even boosting up the minor league chain, anyone who can remotely be considered a prospect for the future. Get on it, guys, 'cuz this ain't workin'.
  8. Well, this was a heck of a weird game, so I thought it apropos... ;-)
  9. back from class again- Haley with the mop, eh? Wow, what a night. ---although, It's 1030 AM Tuesday over here. I ,knew it all along.
  10. Jeepers, Polanco seems to be heating up a little, too. Nice.......
  11. Oh, my, my.... I've been having a fun time peeking at that O's blog- a lot of stuff they've said about Ubaldo sounds vaguely familiar. But somebody posted this during the 6-run inning, with caption: Notice the "O" over the hydrogen bomb's mushroom cloud?

    O bomb

    From the album: 2017

  13. From the opener of 'Camden Chat'- the O's SB Nation blog: You shouldn't gamble on sports, but if you did, thinking about the "over" on runs would probably seem tempting tonight, what with Ubaldo Jimenez and his 6.52 ERA scheduled to pitch for the Orioles and Kyle Gibson and his 8.20 ERA scheduled to pitch for the Twins.
  14. Boy, I like this Duffey. I think we got one right here, folks.
  15. Wowza-- I was watching that game, too. Tuned in after it started, my first glimpse of Herbie was him holding a runner on at first. I said, right out loud, "Wow, who in the H is that kid? He's HUGE!"
  16. Well, except for Gibby and Hughes. They're pretty much the same. But I like how the boys didn't just roll over this time. They've made some good solid comebacks so far this year.
  17. Gee, I'm quoting myself. .....and Gibby gets a Snapper Mow-em-Down Inning. Order of crow, table 5 please. OK, but that's enough now, Molly. Please don't do it again. Sidebar- he did look like a good reliever just then. Maybe......
