You still can't receive messages. Given the limitations of the Twins Daily message system, would it be a good idea to move the annual submissions to an email address? 1.) Abdullah the Butcher 2.)

Scott Putesky, aka Daisy Berkowitz. 49.

Some have listed The Brain's age as 73, others 72. Wikipedia shows shows born November 1, 1944 died Sept. 17, 2017. The New York Times also says 72. The New York Daily News however says 73, as does the Chicago Tribune.

Was wondering about this one at the time. Barrios, clearly was attempting to sacrifice. However, a brief perusal of the internets seems to show that a SAC cannot be scored unless the batter actually sacrifices himself, ie is out. Because Barrios was safe at first, no SAC. Is this correct?

We are going to Lincoln Nebraska the day before, then to a viewing site depending on local weather conditions. Figure we could go anywhere from Grand Island to St. Joseph MO.

Mace Michaels speaks:

For what it's worth, both teams have an open date Monday, August 28.

Tuesday my wife says, "It's so beautiful, why are we just sitting here, we should go to a baseball game." "Sure thing Honey, I'll go buy tickets right now. How does Thursday sound?" Any chance this one will be played today?

When is Berrios most likely to pitch during the upcoming homestand? Would it be Memorial Day Monday or Tuesday night? Gotta see this guy work.

Got this calendar as a Christmas present. Question: Which of these players will be on the opening day roster, or either gone, in the minors, or injured? Already gone, Trevor Plouffe. http://www.calendars.com/img/p/orig/201700003206_1.jpg

Suit yourself; I'm easy. http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-KSWaoNT3EIo/TxRuW9K9yXI/AAAAAAAAAzE/gk6mcT6Xmds/s1600/big_thumb_marty_feldman_young_frankenstein_desktop_1024x768_wallpaper-41883.jpg

1.) What is the "dead"line for our lists, and 2.) I propose that two names be declared "off the board" for this competition: Sid Hartman and Rod Carew.

While the OP specifies "player" the headline states simply "Worst Twin." Therefore no list is complete without Ray "The Crippler" Miller.

The 1982 Twins were 48-52 in the last 100 games. If I had a time machine I'd much rather watch that team than this one.

You know what happened to guys in red shirts on Star Trek don't you? http://www.manic-expression.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/04/apple_death21.jpg

Monday, on Facebook, Andrew McCutchen posted a letter he received from a young man he had visited at the Children’s Hospital of Pittsburgh this summer. I can't add anything to the letter.

Long enough to trade away Carlos Gomez, Denard Span and Ben Revere.

On Showtime there is a series called Shameless, which is situated in Chicago. One of the characters is the father to newborn twins. In one episode, he is watching a baseball game on television, and instructs the young ones on the finer points of team loyalty.

Back when I was in high school (a long, long time ago) I interviewed John Sebastian (not the Lovin' Spoonful John Sebastian, this other guy here, then with KDWB) and he explained to me that music on the radio was intended for people who don't really like music. There are more people who don't (and radio must appeal to a mass audience) and those who do like music, listen to records. If that was true in 1976, today in 2015, with mp3/Pandora/Spotify etc. it is even more true. So I never expect music on the radio to be any good, and if it is, it is a transient exception.

Should Mr. Mauer wish to "silence the critics" he will have ample opportunity.

I support the signing of Mark Buehrle for the most selfish of reasons: he works fast. People still talk about the July 17, 2010 game when he and Carl Pavano finished work in 1 hour 52 minutes. I remember fondly attending a 2:09 game June 16, 2011. When Commissioner Bud Selig was singing his swansong all he could do was bemoan the length of ballgames and interminal pace of play. Right now in the Arizona Fall League, they are experimenting with new rules to speed up ballgames. Pace of play is a threat to the popularity of the game of baseball. Buehrle is the antithesis of slow play. Were any of his habits to rub off on the rest of the staff, it would only be for the good.

Sadder words were never sent through hyperspace.

The Royals are the best thing going in sports right now. http://youtu.be/FA4yYxaVvP8 (Once you could embed video into a post, can that still be done?)
