New Sheriff in Town

A sobering GD thread note. With Duensing gone, who will be our main trade chip this season? Nolasco could be a candidate but by May 1 he could be too valuable to banter about? ROFLMAO

[USAFChief]

The Negativity Police put themselves in the penalty box? Is this a major or a minor penalty?

yes.

This thread really makes me feel like the baseball season is almost here - it has a very game thread quality in its logic and linearity. 

Chief is in the "N's" of his toilet paper roll and you must be in the "L's", you need to pick it up or dare I say let it out?

Much more sobering, with Duensing gone, who are we going to blame everything on?

 

Wanted:

 

New Scapegoat.

You forgot nattering, there's lots of nattering there

Edit, Nevermind, I see you figured that out.

'Oh, hush, you!' she nattered.

[Hrbowski]

I think the Negativity Police is Paul Molitor. I actually think it is Terry Ryan. IT'S A PAUL RYAN CROSS!!

All right, I want all of yous to listen up! I think lot of TDers would agree that these forums have been unraveling lately. There are a lot of negative nellies out there shelling out cynicism and trying to pass it off as legitimate criticism. Well, I've had it! It's less than a week until the Spring Training schedule kicks off, and I've got some spring cleaning of my own to take care of.

 

From now on, if you've got something negative to say, you better have some damn good stats to back it up. If you're going to deride Joe Mauer, you had better respect the man's legitimate health problems.  If you're going to squabble, whine, and throw dirt on other posters, you'd better take it outside, becuase I'm coming to get you sad sacks.

 

Now, you may wonder who is this mysterious vigilante and what does he/she stand for? Is she/he a new moderator? No, sir. I'm no moderator. I'm just a man, i mean, man/woman just like any of you. But I'm full of optimism, and spirit, and piss and vinegar, and I'm here to clean up this dump! 

 

I came here to do two things: shine a light on people being total bummers, and chew gum. And, I'm all out of gum.

 

You've been warned, Twins Daily.

I would LOVE to be your deputy.

A new Duensing will emerge. I am not worried. Maybe Tommy Milone. We'll just have to wait and see when all the fantastically wild trade proposals start.

[Platoon]

Like a bear... You have surfaced.

Or a groundhog? Will we see 6 more weeks of winter?

Nunez is on the major league roster right?

We survived the loss of  Rick Anderson and were still able to find scapegoats.  I am pretty confident we will not have a scapegoat free season.

Not here but I think they are worried in Hawaii

[twinsnorth49]

I'm up to the task. Fortunately as a moderator I can delete any post making me said scapegoat though.

 

Blame away .

Good attitude! I like your positivity.

Non pitcher it will be Plouffe as the person included in trades.

 

Fien is at the point in his career where Duensing won the "trade chip that makes the trade possible" award. Minor league player that pitches, Kohl Stewart.  So like if Nolasco is pitching wellthis spring and a Cubs pitcher goes down you can get the proposal of They will trade us Baez for Stewart and Nolasco

If only Mauer could see the ball

If only Suzuki could pitch frame and hit

If only they had traded Plouffe so we could have a real outfielder.

If only Hughes were pitching like he did in 2014

What is up with Perkins, tired arm again?

Fien blows another

what were they thinking with abad

if only Dozier had a better OBP

(string of bleeps) Nolasco

Any veteran is eligible to be the scapegoat as there is not a veteran on this team without flaws

Incredible Poetry!!! It takes Genius to rhyme outfielder with 2014.

All this needs is music to become a best seller in the Rap market! Maybe not even music, just somebody pounding on something. I have always wondered if in 2065 there will be a Rap Oldies but Goodies radio format? Or maybe a best hits by PDiddy? (It seems I have too much time on my hands)

"Too much time on my hands" wasn't PDiddy. It was Styx.

Things were so much simpler when it was just Duensing.

 

I'm going to miss those times.

Buxton might run like Mays, but he hits like ****!

If rhyming is required........

Yes, we used to be able to unite behind a single cause! And a single solution. Trade Duensing for Grienke, and we win the WS. Now, divided, we are in danger of being overrun by the "Mauer Sucks" faction of TD. If something isn't done to stop them, they will take control of TD, and we will all end up living in our Moms basements! (On the other hand, someone actually in control of TD is a novel though)

[alhweiner]

.....and Mike Trout strikes out.....

Ah, the Mauer Sucks Apocalypse. I am not a fan.

 

I'd rather be a windmill farm, anyway.
