Article: Game Thread: Twins v Pirates, 7/28 @ 7:10pm CT

I'll third this. I haven't been this demoralized about a Twins team over .500 since... Well, I don't know if I can think of a time I've been this down on a winning ballclub.

 

I'm pretty level-headed. I look at scenarios from as many perspectives as possible. I don't complain when a specific deal doesn't go down.

 

But this bullpen problem was looming on OPENING DAY and by the middle of May, it was obvious IT WASN'T GOING TO FIX ITSELF.

 

And what was done about that? Virtually nothing. Moved a few deck chairs. Cut the worst reliever but left several bad ones. If I was Terry Ryan, I'd be bloody embarrassed right now.

I'll fourth and fifth it … (but I won't eight it) … but yeah, all of this. I think all of my posts after a certain point in the game, and right before, reflected this.
