Forum Friday: From Feast to Famine

[Otto von Ballpark]

Instead of providing food, the bottom of the division fed on the Twins this week, but both the division lead and the TD forums remain intact.

Rumor has it the Twins were so mortified by the recent results in Detroit that they fled the country, to Toronto! Nobody's fleeing the forums, though, where topics ranged from rosters to roles to assorted ephemera.

Detroit: Rocco City? Not likely, says @Number3 in June Schedule. They don't think the Twins will rock in Cleveland at the end of the month either, to say nothing of the AL East teams in between.

To get us back to our winning ways, @alexthegreat asks, How do you address the Twins bullpen? With the AAA shuttle in full effect, you may need two envelopes: Twins Bullpen, 1 Twins Way, Minneapolis, and Saints Bullpen, 360 North Broadway, St. Paul. And if you're including a separate letter for each reliever on the roster, you'll need a boatload of stamps!

Ravaged by injuries, the Twins have struggled to fill out a lineup card recently. Think you can help? Just write Put me in coach, I'm ready to play on a 3x5 card, include your name and address, and send to 1 Twins Way at the address above. @Kume34 thinks Byron Buxton should send in a card too, advocating to play more often.

Catcher is one of few Twins positions not affected by injuries so far in 2022 (knock on Hunter Wood). And while Jeffers may have more time behind the plate, @bighat makes the case that Gary Sanchez is the Twins #1 catcher right now. Could the ex-Yankee help us break our postseason curse? We'll get a preview next week when New York visits Target Field.

The Twins played a doubleheader this week; @rwilfong86 posted one too. The schadenfreude of following a former Twin struggle in Berríos trade was followed by the welcome distraction of Favorite Piece of Memorabilia. Do you have a Rob Wilfong game-worn mustache, Lew Ford's apocryphal clothes iron, or a piece of the Metrodome wall bearing an indentation of Butch Huskey's face?

Whether you have Twins treasure, or a treasured Twins take, you can share it with the community of fellow fans in the TD forums.

Still in first.  The sky might NOT be falling.  It's baseball.  Stuff that shouldn't happen happens all the time.  Ask the Dodgers about the Pirates coming to town.
