If we are going to be bad this year can we at least have fun?

[nokomismod]

I might have to get a lobotomy because I'm starting to think like a Cubs fan. I was just thinking though, if we are going to be as bad this year as it looks like we are, can we at least make it funny by bringing back Lew Ford or .... you name another player.

[Ultima Ratio]

LeCroy

[Ultima Ratio]

And give LeCroy the green light to steal.

Trade Escobar for Cuddyer's magic tricks....pick a starter, any starter.

[snepp]

How about getting Carlos Gomez's "excitement" back?

[snepp]

A little Punto scrappiness, grit, hustle, and determination wouldn't hurt either.

 

 

Oh yeah, and slides into first.

[nokomismod]

Yes! These are all really good!!

I want to see Lew Ford getting ready to pinch run by sprinting back and forth in foul ball territory. Every inning.

[Boom Boom]

Dick Bremer can frequently show replays of Ben Revere rolling over himself going from 2nd to 3rd.

 

I mean, more often than he already did.

[glunn]

Let Butera pitch more.

[snepp]

Sign a knuckleballer.......or three.

[TheLeviathan]

One word.....Nishi

One word.....Nishi

 

You're right, Dave going on a Vodka-fueled rage at Target Field would make for great theatre.

[ashbury]

Sign a knuckleballer.......or three.

 

Joe Niekro could teach the staff the fine art of dealing with a defective baseball that is too smooth and perfect.

[Sssuperdave]

Let Butera pitch more.

 

This.

 

In fact, make Butera the 5th starter.

[LaBombo]

Sign a knuckleballer.......or three.

 

What's the over/under on how many games into the season the Twins will be when Dick or Bert wonder why failing young pitchers like the one getting blown out for the Twins aren't taught the knuckleball as a last resort before giving up on them?

[Brandon]

Thome as paul bunyan

[old nurse]

John Gaub, Jack Hanrahan, bring up Cole DeVries and they can market all the Minnesotans on the roster. They are all one of us.

[Mark_RM]

This.

 

In fact, make Butera the 5th starter.

 

This would be the definition of awesomeness

[Mark_RM]

One word.....Nishi

 

Except they make him the starting catcher...

[70charger]

Mike Redmond for backup catcher. He didn't want to be a manager anyway.

[snepp]

Naked batting practice is fun for the whole family!

[ashbury]

Bring back Kent Hrbek. As shortstop.

[snepp]

Bring back Kent Hrbek. As shortstop.

 

Think they'd let him park his boat out at short?

[LimestoneBaggy]

Think they'd let him park his boat out at short?

 

Probably not, but his range should be about three feet...stationary.

[ThePuck]

Probably not, but his range should be about three feet...stationary.

 

So ever so slightly worse than Jeter's :-)

[CDog]

Naked batting practice is fun for the whole family!

 

Your family is weird.

[snepp]

Your family is weird.

 

What, you don't enjoy going out and watching a player swing their wood around?

[luke829]

Juan Berenguer, just so I can see Senor Smoke do the Berenguer Boogie one more time.

[snepp]

Dennys Reyes, as references to "The Big Sweat" never get old.

[nokomismod]

I think Jack Morris could still induce a couple of ground balls.
