Article: Game Thread: White Sox@Twins 4/11 3:10PM

[Aggies7]

These produced pieces of former twins glory are literally nauseating right now. Stop it. No one is getting pumped up.

[ScrapTheNickname]

 

so if we *do* have a close game tomorrow, May and Pressly are used up and it's on Jepsen and Perk.

Tomorrow is a day off, so we are guaranteed not to lose.

[scottz]

 

you have just touched on several of the negative issues dealing with being the guest of honor at a sacrifice!

I feel a little like Escobar on that Suzuki sacrifice.

[Cap'n Piranha]

 

Clearly they need the booing! Otherwise Ryan would've been gone a while ago!
Keep booing!!
#FireRyan

 

You're right, that's why TR still has a job.  Because not enough fans booed.

[Cap'n Piranha]

The Twins have 7 k's today, as do the Sox.  Barring extras, the White Sox +3 was the correct choice on the little bet I proposed earlier.

[Foghorn Leghorn]

You're right, that's why TR still has a job. Because not enough fans booed.

I can't think of any other reason TBH.

Teams been nothing bud bad ever since he got here. Fans need to keep sending a message. #FireRyan

[jimmer]

yeah, forget the booing.  Only way to send a message is stop going to the games.  That hurts the pocketbook.  

[ScrapTheNickname]

Sox announcers are saying that the Twins miss Torii Hunter's presence. At first I thought, come on, he was just here a year. Then I thought, well, you know, I think they might be right. Who in that clubhouse is capable of putting this broken plate back together?

[Aggies7]

Partially, in a way. Continuing to show up, buy tickets, food and merchandise clearly is not the message of a dissatisfied fan base. TR would have been gone years ago in a market that desires a winner. Same could have been said (and was said) for Gardy.

Silver Linings^TM!!

[scottz]

I sacrificed myself for that?

[Hosken Bombo Disco]

We needed one of these today.....

[Mr. Brooks]

Why was Nunez pitch hitting not Arcia or Kepler???

[Aggies7]

Never thought I'd see it this bad. I remember the 2000 season opener when a Devil Ray homered off a Radke first pitch. Of all the horrible clubs the twins have put together, this is the one that starts 0-7. Wow.

I'm not the manager and I'm not in the clubhouse. But, just the same, I'm going to swear and kick something over in my house.

[FunnyPenguin]

If the Twins keep this up, alcoholism in MN is going to spike through the roof!!!

[CampQ]

The wrap informs me it was a "sellout" "crowd"

we need Darth Vader not fart trader.

[amjgt]

What should be done: Park to AAA, Sano to DH, Kepler to RF, Arcia to Waivers, Polanco to the Big League club

 

What will be done: nothing until at least Sunday.

History is being made right before our eyes. Not exactly the history we expected, but, still....

[Aggies7]

Yeah, don't get used to that. How long til the 4th of July game? That's usually good for a sellout.

[LaBombo]

 

This or listening to Dave St Peter tout the "Target Field experience" and brag about the food. The two most nauseating things about Twins baseball Bremer and St Peter bragging,  besides the Twins being 0-7. 

#RetireBremer

 

I freely admit to having a very serious dislike for St. Peter, and on top of that, also acknowledge there's a certain amount of glad-handing and shameless, brainless promotion that goes into his job that can't really be avoided.

 

That being said, the Twins are reaching a point where his NOT plugging the "experience" would have more value to the franchise, because of its implication that he    A)   is physiologically capable of experiencing embarrassment,    and    B}    is too busy doing something,  ANYTHING, really, behind the scenes to help right the ship that he doesn't have time to sell bratwurst to the public.

St. Peter would like you to know that the Twins will debut their new red uniforms on Wednesday as they try to avoid an 0-8 start.

[Darius]

There isn't another organization in any sport that has been ran this hysterically bad over two-plus decades, with no changes to top front office personnel.

 

I wouldn't go down to that stadium this year if they paid me. It's unbelievable that there are big enough suckers out there to pay these prices to go watch this garbage. As long as that continues, nothing will change.

[CampQ]

[CampQ]

I meant to add that it sure didn't look sold out on the telecast. Woops.

Will they be wearing yellow pants to hide the urine stains? Think we're dealing with a pretty mentally weak club. Waiting for the bad thing to happen.

Im gunna mark you down for a swear word and kicking something over at your house. Welcome aboard!

I'll buy your ticket and give you $20 bucks spending money. PM me.

I really don't like the idea of losing Arcia's bat, and Sano deserves at least a fighting chance to show he can or cannot become a serviceable 3B, but as an omnibus legislative bill, all or none, take it or leave it, I will accept your changes and vote in favor.

 

Now get to work on bullpen legislation.
