What's with Slama?

They need a closer and he’s only tossed 2 innings? I guess he’s not invitted.

by b1 on Mar 16, 2010 1:33 PM EDT reply actions  

I know, right?

I was looking forward to all the cheesy headlines…

“Anthony Slama’s the door on the Tigers”

“Slama Dunk”

etc, etc.

Juan Portes leads the team in HRs with 3.

Huh.

anyone have a gameday link,

and an explanation as to how to get there this Spring?

I know last Spring it was a chore to find gameday, but I figured it out. This year I cannot find the F’ng thing! Why the Hell would they hide it!?

I’m sending MLB.com a nasty letter, damnit!

by montanatwinsfan on Mar 16, 2010 1:54 PM EDT reply actions  

You can't get there from mlb.com...

Unless I’m dumb, which is quite possible.

Ok

but last spring you could get there from MLB.com, although it was a laborious process.

Whta the hell kind of sense does it make to not have it available, but you can get there through someone else’s site?

by montanatwinsfan on Mar 16, 2010 2:04 PM EDT up reply actions  

Well it's not fully functional yet.

I think they use the spring games for training people, so they don’t want to be held responsible for information that might not be completely accurate.

by Twins4Life on Mar 16, 2010 2:06 PM EDT up reply actions  

sure

a disclaimer covers that … …and it is broadcast and accessible somewhere anyway…
so the warts are still being seen.

Gameday's nice, but

isn’t it about time to update that batter graphic? He looks like belongs in a late 90s Nintendo game.

Mauer with another hit.

if you fed Punto like 20 boxes of Wheaties before each game?
