Morneau Concussion

[Cicada]

Ok, never mind. Sid Hartman was just talking to Billy Smith and gushed about how great Cuddyer is. I don't care for Sid, so I now hate Cuddyer.

[Rick]

Why are you watching the Eastcoast Sports Promotion Network

I certainly wouldn't quote them, they are wrong more than they are right on supposed breaking news they don't create themselves

[Rick]

Cuddy is a probably one of the better utility fielders in the league - in my ever so humble opinion

[Cicada]

I listen to ESPN radio because the Fan doesn't come in worth a hoot here in Detroit Lakes. Even though I now have a job, I will have to cover a bunch of bills from unemployment before I can hook up television again.

And, in spite of Sid's opinion, I still have that "man-crush" on Cuddy. Glad we have him.

[PierBridge]

Cuddyer is easily above average as far as 1st basemen go. Plenty of non Sid type of reporters have mentioned this. All you have to do is watch him play to understand it. The guys just a stud all around athlete definitely the 2nd best athlete on the team and the best golfer far and away.

[harvey lee]

Cuddy may not be the best at 1st base but he sure does a nice job.

And by far the best magician!! Seriously, he does very well at first or in the OF, was a horrible third basemen, even I will admit that.

I do have to ask Sled, whats the count on the Young for MVP votes?

[PierBridge]

[zamboni]

There went the trade value!!!

[MinnesnowtaWild]

Did you guys like Richard Bremers call today vs. the Mariners?

Was pretty cool actually. 3-0 count with Cuddyer at bat. Before the 4th pitch Richard made a call that he gets the green light and hits a homer. Sure enough next pitch the ball hits the upper deck.

[PierBridge]

Yeah that was a pretty sweet call.... until the play in the outfield by an outfielder who shall remain nameless let the Mariners tie the game up.

[Big Dave2]

Put an Olerud helmet on him and stick him out at 1b Left Field . I've seen enough of Cuddys Young's defense.

[greebs]

Delmon is no doubt struggling offensively and his defense is rather offensive as well. We need his july bat back and soon. Cuddy is definitely magical out there. I watched him twice yesterday wave his magic wand and voila just like that scoring opportunities disappeared!

[PierBridge]

I meant currently and yeah that was maybe a bit of a stretch.

Anyway it looks like Morneau is out for the year.

How about Adam Dunn at 1st base is he available?

[B. Amish]

anybody we add now isn't eligible for the playoff roster.

[PierBridge]

Thats right they needed to be on the roster by Sept 1st....

[Bobby Bass]

Morneau is on the 60 day disabled list and will be able to come off on Wednesday I think. Will be interesting to see if he is cleared to play.

[MinnesnowtaWild]

Wait there is an app (Droid?) to listen to Twins games on my phone?

[SkunkedAgain]

Saw this on the Strib, no surprise but confirmation:

Quote:

In his weekly appearance on 1500 ESPN (AM 1500) Friday, manager Ron Gardenhire spoke briefly about first baseman Justin Morneau, who has been sidelined since July 7 with a concussion.

When asked for an update, Gardenhire said, "I don't see how it can possibly happen for him," regarding a September or October return.

Gardenhire added, "I hope I'm wrong."

[fishersofmen]

Bummer. Would be unbelievable if we went all the way without our best run producer.

[zepman]

He might never play again.

I had a couple concussions 20+ years ago, and can still feel the effects today, bad headaches from fast movement such as quick stops, or bumpy roads, I get dizzy easy, and a short attention span, among other things.

My wife would just call this a common male trait.
