yes, I added the “subscribe to comments” plugin – it was the most functional and least intrusive. Glad it is working well. The addon for the other blog administrators was different – had to add two to do what we wanted.

Since when are “Fierce competitor” and “nice guy” mutually exclusive? Just saying, I prefer to root for nice guys (yes….EVEN Jason Kubel). So sue me.

Anywhoooo….everyone knows FIERCE is for runway models…ask Tyra.

agreed JC . . . though IMHO the whole team, including coaches and manager could use a big batch of gumption juice

Sidenote to Babs . . . are you using “Subscribe to Comments” or some other addon? or was the comment reply feature just part of your comet/renegade theme? Thanks!

If I were the Twins’ GM, Denard Span, JJ Hardy, Jason Kubel and even Joe Mauer should be nervous about where they’re going to be playing baseball next year unless they start showing something resembling intestinal fortitude in New York.

Curious who you’d consider getting rid of? Is someone in particular being…. “unfierce?”

Yeah she’s useful to have around sometimes.

I like ‘good guys’, too, jamar. But at some point, they have to be willing to show some competitive fortitude, too, and I’m not seeing much of that. What ever happened to guys who could be nice guys in the clubhouse and anywhere outside the lines… but between the lines, they would claw for every win? I don’t see that kind of determination in many of these Twins right now.

Apparently the Yankees fans are also complaining about the “biased” umpiring (even though they are winning) . . . in searching for some other information I stumbled onto a Yankees blog that was swearing up and down about Wendelstadt and his strike zone . . . kind of cracked me up a bit . . .

I like good guys too . . . just wish they could be good and fierce at the same time . . .

Also, thanks to Babs for adding the comment subscription option . . . it’s working great!

As long as we’re invoking magic ‘staches and such . . . Here’s my plea to the baseball gods & goddesses: Please mix up a magic “don’t let up” elixir for my Twins. We saw it last night and we’ve seen it all season, they get a lead, or win two games of a series, and they let up a bit. That may work against some opponents and it may work over the long term of a season, BUT IT WILL NOT WORK AGAINST THE YANKEES. Sure, on a rare occasion someone like Kubel comes up and hits a granny . . . but do you really want to rely on that in the postseason? . . . I don’t. So PLEASE baseball gods and goddesses all around Twins Territory…send the message “Don’t Let Up”. Thanks for your consideration, I’m pouring a magic elixir just for you
