What are the Twins magic words? How about ..."total system failure"

[David HK]

Say, the Lynx are 8-0 in this young WNBA season.  Go, gals!  

 

I'm a Lynx fan, and not just 'cuz I like teal, or whatever the hell color they wear.

 

Ya, by golly, it's nice to have one team in the Land of Sky Blue Waters that doesn't suck, you betcha.

[Blake]

Bases loaded, Mauer at the plate. But was I was worried the Twins bases-loaded run of futility was in jeopardy? Nope.

[HitInAPinch]

Twins are breaking the cardinal rule when facing a knuckleballer:  Don't over-swing and don't swing at everything.

 

Ok, that's 2 rules.

[David HK]

Gawd, I hate the Red Sox.  Nothing gave me more glee than that Bobby Valentine year.  And I hate them even more now, they've got all these damn good young guys.   Killer B's 2.0, with Bradley, Boegarts, and Betts.  They're going to not suck for a long time to come, dammit.

[David HK]

Call to the bullpen:

 

OK, who's got the gas can out there today?  

[HitInAPinch]

Pull Duffey now. 

[Platoon]

Actually, they wouldn't get the money they wanted.  But, yeah, Twins defense is atrocious.  Can't remember ever seeing it this bad.

But sadly it was inevitable. Almost every position decision was made on ANTICIPATED offense. So we ended up with no offense, no defense, and no pitching.

[operation mindcrime]

What an absolute disaster!

[HitInAPinch]

A TWINS INFIELDER CAUGHT THE BALL !!!

 

boy, I hope I run outta posts soon...

[Platoon]

It almost borders on the bizarre.

[Aggies7]

Another sub 6 inning performance by the starting pitcher. The bullpen car's tires are as bald as my head

[David HK]

 

Call to the bullpen:

 

OK, who's got the gas can out there today?  

Heh...  I had to quote meself--

 

Coach:  Anybody know where May left the gas can last night?

 

Jeps:  Here it is, coach, under the bench!

 

Coach:  Grab it, and get in there, boy!

[HitInAPinch]

 

 

But sadly it was inevitable. Almost every position decision was made on ANTICIPATED offense. So we ended up with no offense, no defense, and no pitching.

So, the Twins Way is no more?

[jimbo92107]

Jepsen taken out of the closer's roll... Twins need a closer?

[operation mindcrime]

From closer by default to the 6th inning ...lol

[USAFChief]

Miguel Sano leads the Twins with 27 RBI.

 

Boston has SIX players with more than that.  Including one with more than DOUBLE that.

 

I know it's fashionable to think RBI is a meaningless stat.  

 

I do not concur.  

 

EDIT:  With that 2 run double, make it seven players with more than Sano's 27.

Byung ho's balcony....please don't leap, fans.

Oh, well there you go, Bert explains why we suck.  It's just bad timing.

[operation mindcrime]

BWAAAHAHAHA

[Platoon]

Bert said the location of the curveball and consistency was a problem, and the location of the FB. (Other than that there are no problems)

[Craig Arko]

After hearing all about Byung Ho's balcony, it feels safe to turn in for the evening.

[sampleSizeOfOne]

So are we posting to the death now or are we expecting the Twins game to do that for us?

Seemed like a good idea at the time...

 

And my bad on the first three runs. I remembered i might be close enough to hear the game, and found an fm station just in time to hear that play out...

[Platoon]

So, the Twins Way is no more?

It has went the way of the Dinasaur and Brian's car!

[operation mindcrime]

BWAAAHAHAHA!!!!

[USAFChief]

Jepsen looks shell shocked.

[David HK]

Yep, I guess I can go to the store now.
