Last time I saw prices like that was 2009 in Minnesota. I bought a 150 CC Moped and rode that around town when I didn’t have to bring more than myself and whatever I could carry in a backpack.

Is it too soon to say this might be a 100 loss team?

They've looked worse than any team they've played this year. Including Detroit.

Pittsburgh, Seattle, and Texas were easily much better teams than the Twins, using both the eye test and the series results.

The offense cannot get hits with RISP, doesn't score many runs, and the bullpen is the worst in baseball by a long, long way. They could easily lose 105.

Amazing to think a team with Buxton, Donaldson, Cruz, Kepler, Polanco and plenty of other able-bodied MLB players could look this terrible. Something's rotten at the core of this thing.

Good thing I filled up the tank today! $2.49 down here in Austin... What’s it looking like elsewhere around the country?

Will have to let you know about central MN prices tomorrow.  Couple of friends and I are heading out to Costco tomorrow to fill up...

If this ends as a loss, the twins will be 12-21...the 103 loss 2016 team was 8-25 after 33 games

Yup, Hardly anyone left in the Golden State. So no need to visit........

(The state data showed that the population of 39,648,994 in January 2020 had dropped to 39,466,917 in January 2021.)

Why its so hard to enjoy these games this season. Twins just CANNOT drive runners home. they CANNOT, they will not. Every inning...men on base. Every inning men left there. When you look at the box score (so far) Sox have 3 k's and collectively have stranded 4. Twins have 9 k's and collectively have stranded 20...just about every one has come up and stranded at least one  they can't bring 'em home with less than two outs. they can't get the big hit with two outs.

And of course the pen flushes the game quickly...because they have nobody who can stem the tide.

Is it too early to admit this is a bad team...in need of something. Anything. Sheesh.

Some teams get a walk and a HBP, and those are the runners that score. They make you eat those runs. But the 2021 Twins? Just place holders for futile stats.

Yup

Bremer gamely laments that the leadoff walk comes around to score, as if the failure to heed baseball truisms is causing the Twins' season to explode like Mentos in Diet Coke...

How on Earth could we possibly be this bad? What is holding them back? How is it supposed to be fixed?
