No, I'd rather not.

Um, heh, ok.

You were just fine, son.

Happy birthdays all around!

Here again, I don't think the onus is just the manager's for that. At the level Plouffe is at, I think his focus is on him.

I hear ya. Unfortunately, the only way to find out is to make changes. I hesitate to use the term 'better' but certainly a different approach is warranted. But in Plouffe's case, I think it's more than a different manager, I wonder what the heck is Plouffe's problem. I think it's more than just a manager.

Pfft ... I'd have never let Tom Hanks get away with that.

You know the saying .. you can't make a silk purse out of a sow's ear ... while maybe a different manager would have made the difference in a few more wins, ultimately, the make up of the team is more the reason why we are the way we are. imo.

okay, good, they are playing sappy commercials. a good cover in case I need to shed a tear over this game.

Until we know what's happening with Mauer, who knows where that leaves Parmelee. And unless he turns some kind of major corner, I'd say his future is pretty short. But who knows. I've learned that there is no way to predict what decisions the FO makes.

RB, you outdid yourself! I'm already looking forward to 2014!

Yup ... was going to say so myself so thanks for beating me to the punch.

Now that you've jumped in the pool, keep going. We promise only to splash you a little. Well, I'll only splash you a little ... not sure about Chief and Ash.

Well ... there's only one left! I can always cover for you ... but I can never channel you and your 'Think about ...' lists! They always seem better than the one before!

lol ... oops ... glad you made it here! I actually tried to post a thread for you and failed miserably as I realize now that when I cut and pasted the past game thread title, I failed to change the date and time! Oh well ... better that anyway since you made it here on time! You set the best tone for these threads!

g'night, Gracie

I thought the word was 'moobs.'

Hey ... they shoulda beat us when they had the chance ... but they blew that themselves.

ACK!!!! My eyes! My eyes!!

And I thought I was slow when a couple innings ago wondered when we got 6. But I am doing laundry. And cleaning.

aww, no ... that's just ... wrong ... poor kitty

To put it a better way ... if you call me Mom, I think it's safe to call him Grandpa.

Doubtful. But one can always hope ...

That could just be an age thing.
