And Twins! (The Twins talk and pick-up thread).

[Musial Collector]

Giving up the TV for a couple days so I won't be able to see the game highlights. This place only gets WCCO so unless I catch the news... I listened to the last part of the game... awful.

Anyway I got a random VHS in now. It appears to be a chick flick... going to find something else or go to bed

Where you at TB some cave in Danvers? Perk can't get anyone out anymore it looks like.

Nishi with what looks like another big night.

Texas have cool looking tickets from the Cuddy pitching game.

Match, you really need to be able to see games to make accurate judgments
Nishi is a pile of ****!!! Think it was the 5th or 6th that he misfielded or mishandled 3 grounders!!!
His 2-3 games with little can of corn singles isnt ****
Twins made a HUGE error getting this piece of turd!!!

 

[matchpenalty]

Yeah, I pretty much only see boxscores and highlights for the most part out here. Saw some of Red Sox series here on NESN.

Does appear Nishi is hitting a little bit. Does he seem better at 2nd than short? Maybe Twins can move him to Seattle and eat some of his contract if they dont think he will cut it.

I am about an hour north of brainerd. We used to have tv but it was too expensive to keep it if we are only up here a couple times a year.

I have my car here so I am going into town and find some wax, then I will find a lake somewhere and do a break.

 

[showoff]

Man this preseason football season is actually interesting this year. $105 shipped for my Liams if anyone needs.

Just in case someone may be very interested in these... Fan HQ's facebook
Just got in some unused tickets from Michael Cuddyer's pitching performance in Texas. They will be $19.99 in the store but print this page/post and bring it in and you'll get one for $14.99 (limit one per person). Get it signed when Michael hosts Twins Unplugged on August 25th.

Just recently got one.... And I'll need some advice on a pickup I got for way too cheap so i'll need some advice on whether its authentic or not.. Cuddyers mlb debut scorecard from the Indians game on 9-23-01

Nice job by Delmon ducking out of the way, looked quite uncoordinated

Btw, congrats to the Twins on being 52-66 and getting absolutely nothing for all the guys that will be leaving next year, great job!

Double FAIL.

If they don't plan on bringing every single one of our FA back at the end of the year then it was completely pointless to not trade anybody. If anything we could get back a decent prospect and if not they will still save some money. The deadline was a complete failure on the Twins side.

 

[TBTwinsFan]

Nice loss tonight! We really hung in there and gave it our all! ::facepalm::

 

[Guest]

Hopefully Thome can actually hit 600 by the waiver deadline to get traded to a contender

 

[Mudpuddlehuddle]

Cuddy Debut Scorecard signed. Might give it to him if he wants it at the unplugged. Paid 30$ for it. Hope its legit, looked at the game online and everything matches up to what actually happened.

Interesting piece Mud. I would try and get a hold of Clay, the Twins archivist. I believe he even works for the team now on MLB authentication side. He could tell you if that is that is real deal Holyfield. Could contact him via Twins somehow. I'm sure he would love to have that in the Twins official vault if it is legit if Cuddy didn't want it. Does anybody know if Cuddy is much of a collector of his own stuff? I know he doesn't post much here, but Magic I think even knows Clay. He posted some great stuff on him in this thread, and videos of his stuff and how he is collecting stuff from games and achieving them for the Twins vault. The Twins might give you some sweet stuff for it I would guess someday they have HOF type place at TF someday.

It does suck how this team went belly up after trade deadline. Weren't they around 5 games back and playing well. So front office keeps them together and team just let everyone down. I just don't think they got any decent offers for anybody.

He is. My friend who also collects Cuddy has Cuddys email and gives him certain photos he likes. My buddy set up all the Puckett section in the Legends club cause his teacher growing up (Tartan high School) was Clyde Detmer the Twins curator. Should maybe send it with him to give to Clay or Clyde. No clue if there is anything kind of post authentication for this type of thing though but maybe if they think its legit Cuddy or Clyde might like it.

I think Line-Up cards fall under the GU category and as far as I know there is little that can be done to authenticate them. You can try and photo match it, but I doubt there are any photos of it on the dugout or any stills you can get from the video of the game.

You could also look at the writing on it from the coach and try to match it with other line-up cards I suppose, or you could do a bit of digging and try to see if anyone owns an authenticated one. I just did a quick google search and found nothing.

I am guessing it's real. Probably obtained by someone at the game before it had a chance to be authenticated.

Just my $.02.

I wonder if there will ever be any cool Twins cards on eBay ever again.

Never

And I remember the day when collectors would assist player collectors with their collection (like you did a ton Bo, and Greg too), now, rarely if ever happens anymore, kinda sad.

Agreed. I would like to add a nice Cuddyer piece to my collection someday (actually have nothing really unique for him, just a 2010 Topps Chrome Blue Refractor), but if I ever came across something rare I would go to you with it. Just like Perkins with TB and Dinkelman with Greg.

 

[Guest]

Has the Plouffe draft superfractor been listed ever?
