Does anyone remember the horror spoof of the aforementioned name? I have vague recollections of watching it with my best friend at the time back in about fourth grade. I know we liked it at the time, but I'm guessing it was pretty bad.

  1. Does anyone remember the horror spoof of the aforementioned name?

    I never heard of the movie.

    1. I remember that there was such a movie, but I didn't see it and know nothing about it. I'm guessing that your guessing is probably correct.

      1. I see that it starred Richard Benjamin, Paula Prentiss, and Jeffrey Tambor. That doesn't mean it was any good, but that's at least three names that I recognize.

        There was also a sequel, "Saturday the 14th Strikes Back", with Ray Walston and Avery Schreiber. I'm guessing that however bad the original was, the sequel was worse.

  2. I was wrong about Eduardo Nunez. During the offseason I kind of rolled my eyes and wondered why the Twins are bringing him back and kind of wish they brought in a different player for the SuperSub player but he continues to hit and play passable enough defense (although BR has him at -0.4 dWAR it seems like he has played better than that)

    In 170 games as a Twins (so basically 1 full season) he is slashing .282 /.318/.425 /.743 OPS+105

    1. He's hitting .297/.341/.445 over the last year. TR traded for both Eduardo's and they have both been better than expected. Escobar has had a bad start to this season but was very good the last two seasons. Nunez has really hit well since Molitor became manager.

    1. Not that it's a big deal, but it is kind of interesting how a guy can go from being considered so valuable that we have to keep him in the majors all year to being considered basically worthless in such a short time.

  5. After that John Ryan Murphy deal, I can see why they're so anxious to trade with the Yankees again.

  8. The time Rod Carew starting throwing punches at Bobby Grich

    1. Lyman Bostock (the batter on deck) was the first Angel out there, trying to get between Grich, Glen Borgmann, and Erickson. Looks like he stayed in the middle of the scrum, trying to defuse things.

      You can also see Tony O., who was in his first stint as a coach, out there.

      1. And Erickson is pissed about the pitch; you can tell it wasn't anywhere near intentional.

        I was at a game in ~1973 where Rod took a slightly non-linear route to first with the bat still in his hands after an HBP, and the benches half heartedly cleared, most memorable thing from a boring game.
