The Commenter Talker Of the Day: Twins outfield

theoutfield-front.jpgWe’ll get to Stu’s brief talker query in a moment, but first we want to remind you of a band called “The Outfield.” While we think a disc titled “Super Hits” is a little presumptuous, we have to say that “Your Love,” “All The Love” and “Since You’ve Been Gone” were at least adequate representations of pop music. Also, please do check out the web site for the band, which apparently is still making music. Katy Perry recently covered “Your Love.” What fun!?!? In any event, here is Stu’s talker, which we kind of hinted at about two weeks ago:

When Cuddyer is healthy, what should be the Twins’ starting outfield?

Alternate: do these jeans make me look fat?

There you have it. Bonus points if you can work “Young” and “Span” into both answers.

What about Winning It All?

Come on, Rand. It was used in the Gopher Hockey National Championship video.

Katy Perry might be the worst thing to happen to music ever. And I remember the Insane Clown Posse, so I can speak with some authority on this matter.

1. The starting outfield should be Young, Span and Cuddyer.

2. And it’s not the jeans, it’s the gravy.

No, but This video game might make you feel fat.

Damn heteronormatives.

1. I agree with Stu. Young, Span, and Cuddy once healthy. I’d look at sending Gomez to AAA.

2. Those jeans made you look fat when you were Young. Now that your [redacted] Span(s) two counties you look like a pregnant hippo.

Dave

I am covering for Joker. We haven’t heard from him in a while so I am assuming that he is in a Tijuana prison handcuffed to a donkey with nothing on but a socks and a smile.

Wait a sec…there’s feminist gaming sites? Good god, you really can find anything on the interweb.

And how many of these feminist gaming sites would still be complaining if said princess was a super model with a giant rack?

gOMEZ blows, send him down, what is the point of a speedster if he cant get on base? Span is a better fielder as well from what i see.

What is this Gomez love about?

Question on this article, located at a certain competitor of the StarTribune:

http://www.twincities.com/vikings/ci_10024017

Will Ted Thompson run into Denny Green on the high road? And if so, would that be tampering?

“this Gomez love” is about the Twins trying so hard to prove that they got a good deal in the Santana trade, that they handed him the starting job before spring training started, giving him more at bats than Span, and handing him the starting job despite Span holding a better batting average/on base percentage in spring training.

And it took until NOW for people to finally realize that Span was better? pay attention Minnesota!

1. Jermaine Dye, Josh Hamilton, Denard Span.

2. Yes.

Platoon Cuddy in right and at 3rd. He really wasn’t that bad at 3rd.
