Say, Tampa Bay might need bullpen help, perhaps a proven veteran. Do you think they'll give the Twins a decent AA starter and take Jepsen's contract? I hear this guy Hu is pretty good.

Hu's he?

[Blake]

 

Yeah... But the Documents are all shredded and left the building in someone's under garments. 

 

So we will never know what really happened. 

By the way, I was in the Cities this last week. I caught the local sports cast and just about had a stroke. The idiots went on and on about what these moves "meant" and didn't take the time to inform exactly what moves were made. This was yesterday, I believe. It was like the Twins front office had invaded the newsroom.

In the spirit of being positive....Is there anything the Twins are doing well this year other than lose?  Serious.  DH maybe?

 

They got that limited-access club over the CF batter's eye.

They figured out how to get double miles on flights between Minneapolis and Rochester.

[Halsey Hall]

 

It's more likely that the next Twins manager is Gardenhire than anyone else!

My guess is Vavra.

I usually just drive it... It's pretty painless drive down 52

[twinssporto]

Maybe they should try Mike Redman

[Riverbrian]

 

Maybe they should try Mike Redman

 

Or Mike Beechnut

[Riverbrian]

Well... That's another brilliant performance by Brandon Kintzler gone to waste. 

[Aggies7]

I think we're going to get 100 losses. I really think so. How bad would that be?

[operation mindcrime]

8-22 Get to know em! \m/

[Riverbrian]

A little worse than 99 losses and yet... a little better than 101 losses. 

 

Somewhere in between there.

It would be better than 90 losses, because with 100+ they might actually be motivated to make some changes.

Might get a first round pick too!  Yippee!!

The jobs most at risk right now are those of Chad Allen and Stu Cliburn.

Nah, there's nothing the owner can do..........

Just saw you live in North Dakota. I didn't know anyone actually lived there.

[USAFChief]

My bad. Say, did anyone check John Ryan Murphy for a pulse?

Winner.

[Riverbrian]

We got a building and everything. 

[Aggies7]

We got a building and everything.

 

Sounds fun

People don't live in ND, they exist.

Single hole or two hole? Standard crescent moon cutout on the door?

[Comrade Bork]

Didn't get to watch or listen today during work but I'm checking in now. The game thread's 5th point made me laugh pretty hard. Gotta keep up the enthusiasm for being optimistic! I love it. Rather laugh than cry.

[CampQ]

It doesn't have the presence of "Sky Harbor."

 

Try saying "Sunport" with a majestic ring to it.

 

Now try "Sky Harbor."

 

Sunport just doesn't cut it.

I am reminded of that Jon Stewart gag where he'd cue the echo effect on mic. Sunport would sound good in that context
