The Twins blew a tire on the way to work. See you tomorrow.

This is my favorite part of the game. “Let’s make this guy throw a lot of pitches so he’s not available tomorrow”

The dread instilled by the Twins with this relentless attack on their bullpen was clearly evident on the faces of the White Sox, who are undefeated against the Twins in 4 games with an aggregate score of 42-17

Let's rename Target Field Now . . . The Green Mile.

I’ve lost my ability to be disappointed with the players.  I’m now focussing all of my attention at the front office and I’m going to be incredibly disappointed if I don’t see “Twins fire…” article this week.

 

I'm still able to muster a little disappointment here and there if you'd like to borrow some to help you get through the season.

Yeah, it feels like the only real suspense for the rest of the season is seeing which veterans 'ride the lightning' via trade/waiver/unconditional "get lost".

This one was clearly over in the top of the first. What an epic, epic disaster of a game, and a good look into the season. At least that one hurt the run differential so the twins fans/writers hanging onto the “unlucky twins” won’t have it in their favor. This team is absolutely horrible. The lineup has 2 really good hitters (Donaldson, Buxton when healthy) a good hitter (Cruz), and nothing after that. I think AK probably falls into a good hitter as well, but it’s still early and he’s hurt. Arraez is good as well, but not a game changing type of player. Polanco, garver, Kepler, and sano are an up and down roller coaster you expect out of rookie and 2nd year players, The pitching is absolutely horrible, and the depth that many thought they found off the waiver wire of MILB deals are all bad. Not shocking, considering they were available there for a reason, but for some reason we thought everyone was the next Matt Wisler (who is also bad now). It turns out at the end of the day, you get what you paid for, and right now we’re seeing the results of paying for mediocre talent and trying to turn them into average talent.

This has the feeling of a game where the Sox score 10+ runs...

I think i did an okay job introducing this game.

Charlie Brown would be proud. Or at least appreciative of an apt use of the symbology.
