The Twins Way™

[Aggies7]

To not even get a stinking run out of that

[USAFChief]

 

That could not possibly have end any other way.

Cripe.  Paid attention for that sad ending.  Pfft.

[Aggies7]

Stop. That movie is sad!

[Platoon]

And we'll see you tomorrow afternoon, That inning summed up the entire season in six AB's.

[Blake]

I'll bet the Twins lead the league in lack of runs scored after loading the bases.

 

Sad, just sad.

[operation mindcrime]

What an effing dumpster fire!

[Taildragger8791]

Depressing. Bases loaded with no outs and heart of the order up and you still feel like they won't score. Strikeout, strikeout, fly out. Predictable.

[alskntwnsfn]

So the Twins drop a heartbreaker to the Royals 7-4. We'll have the rubber game for you diehards here tomorrow as the Twins once again will try to spoil a sweep.

[twinssporto]

I wonder what Tom Kelly would do with this mess?

[Blake]

I want to see May and Dozier optioned. Nolasco DFA'd and when no one picks up Nolasco, send him down too.

[LaBombo]

[Blake]

 

Participation trophies all around!!

[alskntwnsfn]

I'll have to keep that image link handy.

[Riverbrian]

You know it's a rough year when the FSN producers schedule post game interviews with the other team.

True. Seems to be the norm this year. Imagine how bad the Royals (et al) affiliate is laughing their ass off.

[Winston Smith]

Tom Kelly had plenty of his own messes.

Spoiling series sweeps has to be the lowest bar I've ever seen set.

[Blake]

I think Molitor has had the team quit on him.

 

Fire the coaching staff, DFA a couple of people and option a couple more.

 

This just cannot continue.

Fox Sports Kansas City Producer: What'd ya Mean he's not available? 

 

(listens to response) He's doing the Minnesota Post Game Interview?

 

(Listens to response) What are we going to do now?

 

(listens to response) I'm not using one of their guys! 

 

[LaBombo]

 

I want to see May and Dozier optioned. Nolasco DFA'd and when no one picks up Nolasco, send him down too.

 

Rules aside,   I'm about ready for the grumpy judge from The Untouchables to instruct the bailiff to switch the Twins and the Red Wings like he did with the juries in the movie.

Or swap the Twins for the AA Lookouts,   for that matter.    It's not full of Twins who already bombed in the majors.

Particularly when they set up those interviews prior to the start of the series.

That's the second part of the joke.

Trevor, how has your team been able to suck so much worse than any other team in the league?

[LaBombo]

 

Particularly when they set up those interviews prior to the start of the series.

 

So you're saying that FSN knew there probably wasn't going to be much that Twins fans would want to relive from a series between a team on pace for 120 losses and the reigning world champs?

Come on,   who's got that kind of crystal ball?

[USAFChief]

Lets try this again.

 

"Technically, that'd be a HBP."

[Riverbrian]

 

Trevor, how has your team been able to suck so much worse than any other team in the league?

 

Trevor Plouffe: Aww Man... I'm not sure how to respond to that (pauses and looks behind him)... I can tell you the team is trying (pauses and looks behind him).

 

Fox Sports KC: Trying... the effort is clearly paying off.  

 

Trevor Plouffe: No I meant (pauses and looks behind him). Trying... (Pauses and looks behind him)

 

Fox Sports KC: What has got you so distracted? Why are you looking behind?

 

Trevor Plouffe: Gatorade... I know it's coming... I want to be ready for it.

It's the same answer as the one to the question about how First CitiWide Change Bank in the SNL skit makes a profit:

 

 

 

Volume.
