1. this kid is something for sure.

   1. Those steals were both awesome. The catcher was near-perfect on the first one!

      1. on the throw-back? that is just...wow.

         1. To a right-handed pitcher, even. Sheesh, he is fast.

   2. the legend of Billy Hamilton continues to grow.

      1. I hope he doesn't hit a wall in the minors where he can't get on base, because I want to see him break some records.

         1. He had a .410 OBP across A+ and AA this year, which has to be terrifying for the other team.

            1. Good Lord.

      2. Sliding Billy Hamilton II.

2. Doogie with a nice scoop

   Brandon Webb hasn't pitched in the majors since 2009, but that hasn't prevented the #MNTwins from inquiring, I'm told.

   1. there's this too.

      1. Shields would be great, but he's kinda expensive. No thanks on Webb.

      2. until the Twins actually make a trade for a halfway big name (when was the last one...Delmon Young?), I'll put more faith in free agency rumors than trade rumors.

         1. Gomez for Hardy count as a halfway-big trade? Maybe a decent-sized trade?

            1. decent sized sounds right

         2. Capps was more than halfway big, I would say. Oh wait, you're talking about ... nevermind.

   2. I would kick the tires on Webb. It's not like the Twins are looking for just one pitcher.

      1. If it's a minor-league signing, I'm cool.
         If he's guaranteed a spot in the rotation, I'm not.

         1. Please please correct the wording so we don't end up paying for another Zumaya-esque "season" of work.

3. mike tice looks great with hipster glasses.

4. Twin Cities EPL alert: My29 is showing Liverpool-Newcastle right now

   1. Same here. And my NBC is showing Sporting KC-Houston Dynamo in the MLS Playoffs at 3:30/2:30 Central

      1. having EPL and MLS on broadcast is good. Having them compete with one another is less good.

         1. There was hardly any overlap in actual gameplay. When Liverpool-Newcastle match got over, I flipped to the SKC-HOU match and was right on time for the first half. I missed maybe 5 minutes.

            1. I don't really like Houston, but with SKC employing Roger Espinoza and beating the Sounders in the USOC Final this year, I didn't mind seeing them go down 2-0. To SKC's credit, they didn't pack it in all game.

5. the Vikings have passed for about 110 net yards the last 2 games. yeesh

   1. That's maybe half a quarter in the Big XII.

      1. Or certain parts of the Pac12. USC and Oregon combined for 841 yards Saturday. In the first half.

         1. I would probably get behind Oregon 100% , but their uniforms blind my eyes

         2. Defense is the new market inefficiency.

6. The clock change is messing with me. I want to go to bed, but it's only 9:15.

7. I'm with Kenyon Martin: pissed that I can't get an NBA job.
