OK -- after reaching bottom -- we are now on the way up.  Good things from here on out -- although I now am making my predictions for the season a little less lofty.  We are not going to win the division, but get the first wild card spot - and we will not sweep the World Series, but need six games to win it.

I love bullpen desperation. Bring in the guy who cannot get righties out because you got nothin' else.

What has happened to Danny Santana? It's a bit early to be concerned, but he hasn't gotten a single hit yet. I knew he was going to regress, but not this much...

The results are pretty much what I expected from this group. Well, not 11-0, but many 5-2 games. The Twins have weak bats, suspect fielding, and poor pitching.

 

This is what we have to put up with the Twins until the youngsters are ready. I just wish the Twins had not signed some of the players they did to contracts that they will be stuck with for years.

 

I thought the 1970s and early 1980s where bad, but this go around is so bad, I do not even care to watch the team play. So much for the new stadium making the Twins contenders.

A run. "Now iz zee time at Sprockets ven vee danz!"

 

Thanks!  I'd actually fallen asleep there, and missed the run.

 

But an 80s SNL reference is always appreciated. 

 

And now as some things are connected to others, i've got the theme song for "Tunces the Driving Cat"

in my head.

 

Having been desensitized by the last two games, my only current disappointment is the prediction that the game would end when the Wild game began is not quite right.  What am i to do with myself for the next 15 minutes?

Catching up on game tbread on my phone...just wanted to say, there were multiple posts that actually caused me to laugh out loud. Much appreciated! Honorable mention to the pythag projection post, the SNL dance post, but I gotta go with jimmer's "took me till I was 16 to get to third base" as the thread winner.

Concur.

 

"So now i'm praying for the end of time

to hurry up and arrive..." is what music that 3rd base post evoked...

WTF Molitor already shows he's sooo "great" at lineups already.....

now in game 3 against shane greene you go with escy over Arcia ?!? , makes a TON- OF SENSE!

 

opening day lineups are overrated who the f cares.

 

Get it right Paul!

This is what we have to put up with the Twins until the youngsters are ready.

Assuming that doesn't continue even when the youngsters are ready.   Failure rate of prospects is pretty high and I won't assume a change in one of those categories, much less all three, until these youngsters prove they can do it at the major league level.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but i think we actually outscored them over the last 2.5 innings. Tigers are lucky the series ended when it did.

And soon they will execute it, and then they will execute us!

I'm reminded of former Tampa Bay Bucs coach John McKay's answer to the post game question "what do you think of your team's execution?"

 

"I'm in favor of it."
