Welcome to the team, Neil Ramirez! You fit right in!

[jud6312]

Can we call the Pat Dean Experiment dead now?

 

 

[LaBombo]

 

Kepler couldn't have played that ball any poorly

The night is young, and for that matter, so is the season, really.

[jud6312]

I could've sworn people were saying Neil Ramirez was the opposite of dumpster diving when I made a comment about it the other day.

 

Care to rethink that position?

[Winston Smith]

This Ramirez looks like he should fit right in.

[David HK]

 

Why not go home on that? Couldn't even get the DP

Cripe- more of the same just absolutely bad base-ball.   

 

Dozey- what th....   You've got to know you've got a Plouffe-esque sloth at 3rd in ARod, vs. one of the leauge's swiftest runners in Gregorius-  plus a FORCE at home.   ummmm, which way to go?  Head in the game, or not?

 

When you completely suck as a team, you can't keep messing up the most utterly basic things, which  you can control.  Wow, this got Predator-quality ugly in one heck of a hurry.

The 2016 Twins pitching staff has an ERA+ of 82.

 

Worse than the 2015 team.

Worse than 2014.

Worse than 2013

Worse than 2012.

Worse than 2011

 

[Aggies7]

The Yankees broadcast keeps showing two fans sitting alone in rain ponchos with the wind just whipping their hair and ponchos around madly. Gotta wonder what sadists would put themselves through that for THIS

[S.]

Don't worry guys, Neil Ramirez is way more valuable than Arcia, I swear...

Because we have the worst rotation in the game which can afford to waste a pitcher who showed promise as a starter.

I will admit, it's not exactly clear cut who you actually remove from the rotation.

So many to choose from.  How about putting names in a hat and picking one?

[mickeymental]

looks like the pat dean era could be winding down.

Well, we always talk about the country club vibe of the front office, so maybe they're going by golf rules.

If I could hack the Target Field jumbo scoreboard, I would play that nonstop, full screen, through the whole game

the Pat Dean era, or did you mean ERA?

And blast Benny Hill music over the sound system

[Aggies7]

Bruno Mars with the bobble at second

Hurt me, said the sadist.

No, said the masochist.

just as long as you don't accidentally slip any of the relievers names in there. Those guys are the real heroes.

[Aggies7]

Oh brother.

[jimmer]

 

Hurt me, said the sadist.

No, said the masochist.

it's the other way around.  what did the sadist say to the masochist when the masochist asked the sadist to hurt him?  The sadist said no.

[Aggies7]

it's the other way around

I had it backwards originally lol

[Aggies7]

It's hard to imagine a team being this bad.

[David HK]

Something was nagging on me about this game today, and it finally hit me--  

 

The Twinks are 20-46.   Which, by coincidence, is the title of a fantastic movie for a rainy day like this one- in HK, or MSP.  Starring the outstanding Tony Leung, and Gong Li, who still holds the title, (in my mind), of Most Beautiful Woman in the World, Like Ever.  It definitely requires some thinking, and attention, and subtitles, but I think that 2046 is going to be a better investment in time than the other version today.  Ciao, for now, gang.

Heh... and as I'm typing this out, I hear Dick in the background-- "Past Plouffe and into left..."  

I'm not missing a thing.  

 

 

[Aggies7]

Every Yankee starter has a hit tonight and Ellsbury and Beltran have two

 

There's one out in the 4th

must have been on a dare.

[LaBombo]

Paging Dave St. Peter...

 

So The Kid's finished her Lego project, and since I'm not watching the game, she tells me she's going to check the score for me. I hear "They're doing pretty good!". 

 

Stick my head around the corner to see the Twins down 4-1.  "They're losing", I said, thinking she was reading the score wrong.

 

"Yeah, 4-1, but that's not as bad as usual, right?"

 

 

Good luck with those 2017 season ticket sales, St.P!

 

 

Update:  "Remember when I said they weren't losing bad, Dad? Wah-wah-wah! [sad trombone sound]"

[Dr. Evil]

No need to imagine.

[Willihammer]

it's the other way around.  what did the sadist say to the masochist when the masochist asked the sadist to hurt him?  The sadist said no.

Alright let me try again.

 

"Hurt me" said the Twins fan.

"OK" said the Twins.
