    Actually, I agree completely. He could still end up with an administrative role, just one with far less prominence. But I do think the visibility he has can benefit him regardless. It could also hurt him if he shows poorly.

    I don't see the manager thing being all that big of a deal in the grand scheme of things. If they feel handcuffed by a one year deal, that almost seems more worrisome in my view. Many new GM's keep the current manager on board for a year anyway. The caveat to that statement is that it has to be clear that the new GM has the authority to move on after Molitor's deal is done if they so choose. If that isn't the case, that's being handcuffed. That's a much different story and a much different issue. GM's need to think longer than one year and the new GM will be brought in for multiple years. Is the manager deal ideal? No, of course not. I think it's something that most will look past considering it's only a one season issue.

    He pitched the last 4 innings. One can earn a save for pitching 3+ innings, provided nobody pitches after him.

    I'd like to point out that just because somebody has to fill the role, that doesn't mean that it isn't an audition. It may be or it may not be, I'm not sure that I care. I agree that logic suggests that they look outside of the organization, which probably makes this nothing other than filling the hole. What I would argue however, is that it really is an audition for Antony - just for his next job with another organization. How he handles this could lead to something else for him later on.

    No kidding. All of our blood and sweat for naught. Did you find any prospective Twins at softball last night?

    . Sorry sir. Won't happen again, sir!

    What is he gaining by sitting on the bench? Does he look less lost there? All I'm saying is that he needs to be playing. If he's going to sit 3 or 4 times a week, send him to AAA to play every day.

    No Buxton again?!?!!? Either play him every day or send him down. He should not be sitting on the bench.

    What if your mom is that guy...

    That seems akin to me blaming my receding hairline on getting married...
  11. wsnydes
    Savage! I like it.
  12. wsnydes
    Now I'm intrigued. What are the other 14 reasons?
  13. wsnydes
    Belt high Matt Capps fastball is what that comment looked like to me!
  14. wsnydes
    Hopefully not for pitchers. they have enough softball pitchers already...

    I'll just play it safe and blame my wife. I didn't start losing my hair until we got married. Blaming your wife is the safe play, right?
  16. wsnydes
    Or double posting all of your replies?

    I know that's the rule, but my mom's dad is 88 and still has a fairly nice head of hair. My dad's side is the side with the receding hairline and bald spot on the top of the head. That is the model I seem to be following. I'm looking more and more like the men on my dad's side everyday.

    Where were you last year that you saw a real baseball team play?
  19. wsnydes
    I'll take that under advisement when that time comes. I still have enough to play around with yet, but it's vanishing quickly.
  20. wsnydes
    Yes.

    Brilliance all around. Philly Phanatic with the Lasorda bit and Lasorda beating the Phanatic with it. Bravo! I keep finding myself on another thread and coming back to watch that gif over and over again.

    Drinking does make it a bit more palatable at times, but I prefer those times to be at the comfort of my own home where it doesn't cost me $13 for a whiskey/coke and I don't have to worry about driving home.

    At this point, I'm not sure what more there is to say about the GM thing. It's definitely time for a more lighthearted discussion.

    I'm actually starting to feel that they over-market things. There are so many promotions that they've simply become watered down. The "buy special tickets for a promotion" idea is as dumb as it gets, but I understand why they do it. I just don't agree with it. The food and drinks in the ballpark just keep getting pricier every year. It's clear who they've started to market towards as well, adding more bars and more beer options. I was at the game Sunday and in a 7 inning span, I counted no more than two vendors in our section selling anything other than beer. There were vendors constantly in the aisle, usually 3 or 4 at a time. All of them selling beer. After the 7th inning, vendors virtually disappeared entirely. I didn't see a hot dog vendor at all. Some were selling other things too, but the common denominator was that they were selling beer. While I enjoy the local flare of the beers and foods, it comes at the sacrifice of more traditional ballpark fare that falls on the cheaper end of the offerings. I don't go to the ballpark to get drunk, I go for baseball.

    Some things just make for great conversation starters.
