It's maybe just me, but I feel even GT regulars are starting to fade. It's up to us to keep the faith to keep a stiff upper lip, to .......... Ah what's the use.

Really?  Late to the party tonight, but I thought last night's game thread was one of the best ever.  I'm not sure there was actually a game, but the game thread was fun.

Once more into the breach!   The good thing about baseball is that there is another game to try to win. We got 2 1 run losses in a row. But tonight is a new night. Anything could happen.   Oh by the

Eat it for one more night record of blinding ineptitude.

And don't forget that they've extended their already comfortable lead over the 1899 Cleveland Spiders as well.

I'm only a tiny bit drunk but I think if we can get a few good arms next year or the year after we will have a great ball club.

 

I'm starting to get ready for next year. Am I delusional?

threy need significant improvement on about 7 pitchers, I don't see that happening in one off season that they are also retooling management, coaching, and talent evaluation

Did we get rid of Butera because he couldn't hit?  I can't remember.

It turns out the problem was he never got to face Twins pitching.  (Should pitching be in quotes, or are we not quite there yet.)

Yes, but it's adorable. And I agree that this Twins team has the silver lining of several guys who are in or approaching that age/experience range where players, especially hitters, often make a significant stride forward.

Not only do you have the singular honor of the final GT, you have the opportunity, nay the responsibility to capsulate this season in the requisite 5 thoughts. Times like this have launched the careers of luminaries like Edward R. Murrow, Walter Cronkite, and Alfred E Newman

I am hoping more for a Stephen King type performance, myself :)

Send 'em if you got 'em!

I wasn't there but, but that night was expecting a replacement for a photo someone (turns out it was you) had posted the night before of mindcrime's reaction to "As the Game Thread approaches the brutal 8th inning wall of another blowout, Brian and Chief arrive just in time to pass out 'Likes' to weary posters..."  I guess I'm still waiting.

I felt kinda bad when I was wondering if the Royals could come back in the 9th

That's OK.  You're afflicted with the Stockholm Syndrome too.  It will eventually pass.

 

A lot of therapy, a new Front Office, a new coaching staff and a few trades will have you back to normal in no time.

Oh, great, like I wasn't putting enough pressure on myself already...

My advice is to expect literary genius along the lines of "There once was a man from Nantucket". As luck would have it, the few times I've truly risen to the occasion in my life have been ones where expectations were low.
