Between the two teams there was roughly 76 hits in Mariners @ Twins tonight. For one evening it felt like it was the year 2000 all over again.

Paracaidas: Sep 24, 2016; Consistently Tedious!

Twins draft recap:
1. Consensus best HS position player
1a. Top 5 college bat
2. Top 30 RHP (BA)
3. Top 5 prep RHP (BA)

Would have liked Carlson over Leach, but tough to be upset by how it all shook out. Also the legally mandated supply of soft tossing pitchability lefties.

Remember last spring training when Tyler White (you probably don't remember him but the incident is hard to forget) hit one over Cespedes, who acted like the ball was stuck under the wall until the ump came out and very easily just picked it up? That was ruled a homerun somehow so

It was AJ Reed. http://m.mlb.com/video/topic/69972428/v562513083/?query=Reed%2BHome%2BRun

My personal hope is that there's some sort of cool name to replace Safeco and not one of the big 4 of Starbucks, Microsoft, Amazon or Boeing getting their naming rights.

I wouldn't disagree, only that I think Cano will age and make the tail end of the contract not great. We only have Cruz for 1 more year after this.

Nice work Twins. Looks like he was KLaw's #14 prospect for the draft?

Also, the way his jersey is wrinkled in that frame, it looks like he's got a golf shirt on and is dressed like a young PGA golfer in that shot.

I don't claim to be an expert on anything but, after watching the draft closely for about a decade, the only thing I am ever certain of anymore is that these are young men with faces and names. Most of them have hands and feet, unless otherwise noted.

New Yorkers are terrible people

quote:

Sunday, May 14, was supposed to be a great day at Yankee Stadium to celebrate Derek Jeter�s career. I bought five tickets for myself, my son, my daughter and my two nephews. We were sitting in Section 105; I had four seats in row four and one seat in row five. We got there for the first game of the doubleheader.

Somebody came and sat next to me. I thought he looked familiar and looked a little closer; it was Reggie Jackson. We were pretty excited, especially me, since I grew up watching Reggie play for the Yankees. So I quietly tried to say hello to him. At first, he would not even acknowledge me. I said hello again and I put my hand out to shake his hand. He was not very happy about this, so I was quiet. I didn�t want to draw too much attention to him.

I waited a few minutes and asked him if I could quietly snap a picture of the two of us. He responded, �Leave me alone; do not ruin my day; watch the game and turn around.� I was a little taken aback, but I figured, okay, I will give him the space and the respect.

An older woman sitting in front moved over quietly to speak to him. She said to him, �My mother is 75 years old and has loved you your whole career.� She also explained to Jackson that her mother was sick; it was Mother�s Day and if she could just take a picture to send her mother, it would make her Mother�s Day. He replied, �Turn around, watch the game; I�m not doing nothing. I have a mother, too. Don�t ruin my day.�

A little boy approached with a baseball and said, �Mr. Jackson, could you please sign my baseball?� He told him, �I am not signing nothing; turn around and watch the game and don�t ruin my day!�

He proceeded to treat everybody who approached him the same way. I understand sometimes people have bad days, but if you do not want to talk to fans or have fans come up to you and ask you for autographs, do not come and sit in the stands. Stay up in your executive box � or up on the perch where you obviously think you belong.

We all looked up to him and he completely ruined our day. This is a terrible way to represent the New York Yankees, their heritage and all their great players. I do not understand why, after he�s been retired for so many years, he is not honored that fans would still want to take a picture or ask him for an autograph.

More fun Jim Abbott facts!

He was a star quarterback in high school. I have no idea how this even worked.

He didn't spend a day in the minors.

His entire playing career teams tried to bunt to him. It never worked.

He had two career hits. Both were off John Lieber.

Zeke Carrera has a broken foot, so next on the Jays' depth chart for left field is Dwight Smith, Jr.

Steve Pearce is up to Buffalo for rehab.
