Come on people, I'm stuck at work for another 11 hour day, and no one is posting.

 

I need some humor.

 

And the bartender said, "why the long face?"

This is not intended to be funny! I wonder if Joe might consider retiring after this season. For many years he was the best or one of the best catchers in baseball. A superstar and now he isn't even a star. He produces with the worst first basemen and that must eat at his pride. He has already made over 150mill so the money at this point shouldn't keep him going.

We've seen a few other guys step down early because of injuries I'd think at some point he'd think I don't want to do this any more if this is all I can do.

Tulowitzki and Donaldson are MEN on the left side of their infield.

 

And ....

 

why are some fans so STUPID?

[Blake]

Anyone else think Mr. Morris or Mr. Blyleven would have allowed Toronto to remain comfortable at the plate?

 

Seriously, what is going on? Early on, the Twins were going hard inside.

 

Now?

 

Might as well bring back Rick Anderson. 

[JB_Iowa]

PLOUFFE!

 

2-4

[sampleSizeOfOne]

Half the lead.

 

If we keep doing that...

[formerly33]

A picture to make Bark proud.

 

 

Go get 'em kitty!!!

[Hosken Bombo Disco]

Half the lead.

 

If we keep doing that...

if we keep doing that, we will never catch them

 

4-0, 4-2, 4-3, 4-3.5,

 

4-3.75,

 

4-3.875,......

[diehardtwinsfan]

How do you score .1 runs in baseball?  Is this some sort of Gardy math that explains some of his decisions?

There were a couple of Twins from the wharf,

Who played out of their heads at the beginning of the season

But when things did not go as designed, they tanked for no reason

And the fans were all ready to barf

(reaching, really reaching)

if we keep doing that, we will never catch them

4-0, 4-2, 4-3, 4-3.5,

4-3.75,

4-3.875,......

 

 

 

We just have to do each step twice as fast...

 

We'll get 'em!

[twinsnorth49]

Don't thank me.

 

Thank Judge Smalls.

Everyone talks about Dangerfield in that movie but goddamn Ted Knight was brilliant!

Antony on Duffey: "We believe this guy is going to be part of our future. We don't want to mess around with him" in terms of pen, etc.

 

So what does that say about Trevor May?

Jesus H Christ they're just making it up as they go along. FFS already, who believes this ****.

[howeda7]

How bad has this stretch been? I'm looking forward to the Republican Debate starting so I don't have to watch this anymore.

[Hosken Bombo Disco]

]If this means Nolasco never gets another shot at the rotation, I think we'll all be on board with that.

 

 

(of course things aren't always what they seem with the Twins FO.....)

[JB_Iowa]

Hell, Hand-basket

 

Twins there.

[Danchat]

I forgot about the Twins game today, what did I miss so far? 

 

Holy snickerdoodles! 8-2?? Maybe I had subconsciously forgotten the Twins game for my own good!

[notoriousgod71]

Seriously, just drill someone.

[Hosken Bombo Disco]

I'm listening to the radio and keep hearing the words "stand up double"

 

Is that any different from a "sliding" double?

 

Thanks I'll take my answer off the air

[Aggies7]

Oh bother.

 

The Blue Jays doubled their score.

 

I hadn't considered that.

Boo who?

[twinsnorth49]

This is a disgrace, the Jays are loaded but to go there and just get treated like their doormat is embarrassing.

 

4 game sweep in the most pivotal, meaningful series so far, say good night Alice.

[mickeymental]

any chance o'rourke can pitch all the innings?

the worst is that they will probably lose 3-1 tomorrow or get swept this weekend or something. It always happens.

[Danchat]

 

any chance o'rourke can pitch all the innings?

Or, at the very least, all of the lefties?

[Jham]

Frustrating series after an otherwise fun year...

[Jimmy0923]

Jays fan here. We haven't had anything to cheer for for over 20 years. I'm not here to do so at your expense though. Reading your threads the last couple of days I have to say it is nice to see some adult baseball talk! Not like the Yanks or Orioles fans. They are compete dicks. Anyway, I think the Twins have a future. Lots of good young talent. We traded ALL of ours away so it is do or die pretty much over here. This lineup is stupid though. Twins management must really hate that Duffy kid. Felt bad for him. Anyway good luck the rest of the way guys. Cheers.

The outfield defense is great without Arcia out there.
