    Kirby Puckett was cremated.
  2. That will probably happen. Any team with Mike Patrick is automatically worst.
  3. That didn't look like any commercial airliner I've flown on.

    I'm tired of your Podsnieak hate.
  5. Boof is starting Sunday for the Twins.
  6. How did I miss the Sutcliffe drunk video?
  7. I heard Doug Flutie was doing College Football on ESPN/ABC next year. Musburger and Davie is a horrible pairing. I could live with Musburger, if they paired him with Dan Fouts. The ESPN team of Mike Patrick and Todd Blackledge might be worse.
  8. Paintball or NFL players trying to fill a giant tank with water. What compelling programming.

    No love for Jeter?
  10. 2B: Joe Morgan (.243/.367/.373, 115 OPS+) That's what I don't get about Morgan being so anti-weaverball. Besides the Stolen Bases, which Morgan did at an 81% success rate. He really was a Weaverball style of player.
  11. Possibly the worst thing is the old video of Sammy Davis, Jr. What a fucking insult to the world's coolest Black and Jew.
  12. Here is the Twins projected lineup Monday. C-Mark "Chief" Salas 1B-Ron Jackson 2B-Rob Wilfong SS-Ron Washington 3B-Mike Cubbage LF-Bombo Rivera CF-Jarvis Brown RF-Andre David DH-Mickey Hatcher
  13. Those Kay Ads do suck, but it's nothing compared to those two fags singing in the Applebee's commercials.
  14. Hawk Harrelson is a real jackass. It was a bad call. Doesn't make Hawk any less of a jerk for harping on the call for the rest of the game.
  15. I think the best days have alot to do with the NL itself not being the league it was in the late 90's. I'll give Garner credit he does seem to get his team motivated to play. Though the little tirade last World Series wasn't necessary.
  16. Neyer speculated that Dusty may have ruined Rod Beck's arm back in 1993. I'll throw in two more names Buck Showalter and Phil Garner.
  17. Earl Weaver did the same thing. There is a lot to suggest it's a good idea. Still, Gardenhire stubbornly sticks by smallball even after his team finished dead last in runs scored last season. Dusty Baker I think gets unduly criticized at times. He's an average manager, but is often the scapegoat for Cub misery. One that never gets mentioned, Frank Robinson. Robinson has managed parts of 15 seasons in MLB, and has yet to guide his team to the postseason. Twins aren't a smallball team. They really dont fit into any style at this point. Gardenhire himself is not a smallball manager. In the past it was probably the players on the team, and following what Tom Kelly had always done. More than enough stories say, Gardenhire would rather play a style closer to Weaverball than smallball. The problem is the lineup is full inexperienced, inpatient, and inconsistent hitters.
  18. Gardenhire's not great but number two in all of baseball. I don't think so.
  19. The Twins need more positional prospects. They middle infield blows monkey ass. The corner outfielders are weak.
  20. Joe Mauer isn't just an overrated third hitter...he's a bad third hitter. So it's a stretch.
  21. I always question if an out is worth losing a player for at least 15 games. Especially early in the game.
  22. 260. John C. Reilly and Conan's duet of "The Night Chicago Died"
  23. Alex Gordon so far in Wichita. .310/.379/.558/.937/7hr/17bi/22 runs
  24. Guess this is random. The Indians were a good team, but best ever. I don't think so.
