Jason Kipnis, a moment ago on Twitter.

I believe he thinks he's part of a pretty good team, and I'm not going to argue that point today.

Secretly, I was hoping for this kind of backs-to-the-wall player response. Of course, I thought it would remain secret within the players’ hearts, yet thanks to twitter, the notion of personal revelation is a quaint one.

Hey, that was Vinnie who said that, wasn’t it?

Vinnie said that repeatedly on twitter last year, usually after a bad loss or when things were getting tight with the Tigers in August last year

Vinnie tweeted this, this afternoon

Nobody tell Vinnie that we were still going to be underdogs, Prince or no Prince.

He doesn’t usually use the correct form of you’re/your, though.

Eh. It still sucks.

You’re really giving Chuck a run for his “most negative poster” title. At least he occasionally reminds us how good the old days were and allows for hope for a brighter future.

I like it. Keep it up.

I like confidence from our players. And from following his Twitter, Kipnis seems like a pretty nice guy.

Always refreshing to see players buy into the rivalries and show emotion for their team. I like.

Yeah I agree whole heartedly with this. This sort of extra motivation seems to have disappeared from the other sports teams in this town (though you could probably say that about the whole of the NBA).

As much as I like Joe Thomas and think he is clearly the best player on the team, he hasn’t really done anything that sticks out to me as far as PR goes. Cribbs and Haden are very visible in the community in a way that Thomas is not.

But Thomas is white! And he hunts and fishes! He’s just like “us!”

Thomas seems to have done more than the average player, but nothing significant. I think he is extremely low key, which is probably why we don’t see more.

I agree. Just had to make the joke.

Cribbs is shrewd, but a lot of what he does seems to have ulterior motive.

I just don’t get that feeling from him. Maybe I’m wrong, but he seems like a legitimately good guy.

(alluding to an old Buffum B-List rant) Perhaps we should just go ahead and christen their infield ‘las Molinas’.

well…that didn’t work, did it? Found a lovely, relevant image of the Moa, but have forever failed to upload an image to this site. Gah.

If I was in charge of sound at Progressive Field, I would just play Benny Hill music every time there was an IF hit
