I'd love it if Molitor would watch Maddon for awhile. 

 

I'd have loved it if Ryan and Pohlad had made Maddon an offer he couldn't refuse three years ago.

Yuck, could you even imagine?

Come on, it would be a fitting testament to the Twins lack of accomplishment this year.

 

I, for one, would find it hilarious.

Damn it Jokin! That was 1.5 years ago. Get your facts straight! :)

I don't like your optimism. At least we will be in the WS in 3 years, going by the Tigers trajectory

 

Sorry, but said trajectory would require Mike Ilitch to trade franchises with the Pohlads.

Haw haw haw! Geez- Louise, am I grateful for one more remedial grammar class. Thanks, Tseun Wan Middle School, for giving me an excuse to miss the latest Twinkie Mess!
Sadly, that class is finished now. I must find some other early Saturday AM torturous thing to do... (thought ellipses). Anything that might be worse from 8-1030 on Saturday AM than middle school remedial grammar?
I'm open to suggestions... (expectant ellipses)

 

I'm not sure what people do in that part of the world. Go to the Beach... look for MSG and Skip rocks into ocean... See how close to Taiwan you can get.

I don't like your pessimism The way you put it, we will lose the WS in 3 years, going by the Tigers trajectory.

Meh. Twins are 2-1 in World Series play. I would rather the Vikings not make it if they were going to lose since that would put them in record territory.

Has anyone ever counted how many times Sgt. Elias was shot in Platoon, and kind of ironic isn't it...? Willem Dafoe showed more life than the Twins, even after the 20th NVA AK-47 gunshot wound.

This ain't your show, Elias.

I know, I know, I was just making sure our offer was in and agreed to before Theo was hired by the Cubs.

I finally stopped wondering and did the research myself.

 

OTDIH 13 years ago, the Detroit Tigers had just lost their second game of a series in Cleveland to make their record 9-34. At that point in the season, they had been outscored by opponents by 86 runs.

 

The Twins just lost their second game in a series against Toronto, but our record is 10-31, and we've only been outscored by 75.

 

My heartfelt apologies, fellow martyrs. We're not about to make history. :(

 

As we all know, the Tigers' record for that year was 43-119, coming just one loss shy of tying the '62 Mets for most losses in modern major league history and finishing 47 games behind a different Twins team.

Forgotten was a game vs the Twins very late in the season:  Twins were up like 9-0 in the third--then the skies opened-up and it poured.  The rules at that time washed those innings away and the game was restarted at 0-0, the Tigers eventually won it.  So, they really should have been 42-120.

That's Smart... I wouldn't have thought of that.

Worst theme song ever

 

In that case, it sure seems like a no-brainer to add that to our versatile Target Field organist's ever-so-snooze-inducing playlist.

I was kind of hoping the Twins would go with Gene Glynn as manager. Glynn spent some time in the Rays organization, and has several years experience managing in the Twins minors. I got the impression he was a good motivator.

There might be an opening for an interim manager soon?

Back into the cryogenic chamber I go. 2021, here I come!!!

Don't tell me you watched the 2010 season and then entered cryogenic sleep thinking "2016 will be much better!" That'd be pretty disappointing.

I wish I could review the posts from 2012/2013 and chart what TD posters expected the 2016 season to be?

Where can we apply? I'm on LinkedIn.

I'm going to out that on my profile, just for the heck of it. "Interim Twins Manager."

I had a Twins/Cubs Series in 2017. I may be half right.
