Well we got two full months of top notch mediocrity, coming up.

[Craig Arko]

Don’t feel so bad. There’s always Barbenheimer to take your mind off this.

"We believe in the guys currently in our dugout."

And why wouldn't they? This squad nearly took a game from the formidable Royals.

I wonder if a team has made a trade with the team they are playing during a game?

If a gent is a second baseman and is traded for the othe teams second baseman, do they just exchange places and hatd?

I believe it's happened before between games of a double header. They just switched clubhouses.

I saw that they have the 5th easiest schedule for their remaining games. That can't be to heartening though. Not after being swept by KC

[insagt1]

Dont you just love the moves the TWins made today........wait.....

[Puckett34]

Ah the 'ol guys coming back from injury is just as good as a trade schtick.  (sarcasm incase you haven't noticed)

Lewis should return soon. And when they face those tough left handers like Yarborough (who's now a Dodger) they still have Garlick if they choose to go in that direction 

[CRF]

I hate to say that I'm disappointed that they didn't do anything, so I'll just say...I'M REALLY FREAKIN DISAPPOINTED!

Those oblique injures can be finicky, you sure it's soon?  

[wsnydes]

Cardinals lineup added in OP.

He was ready 3 weeks ago. On that front I'm not sure why. Other than being extra protective 

[Schmoeman5]

I honestly believe the guys who wrote all the blogs leading up to the deadline worked 10 times harder than the Twins FO did fielding all those calls and looking at their depth charts. On that it's not sarcasm. But I'll stop beating the dead horse cuz my foots sore

I still can’t believe it’s August 1st and Joey Gallo is wearing a Twins uniform.

looks like Gallo and his .178 BA and massive strikeout total is hanging around. The real question is...why?

When have we seen the Twins release players knowing they still have to pay his Salary for the Year,   might be some but idk,  And any other team is gonna demand twins pay most of his salary in any trade,   Stuck with Gallo,

Well, Garlick now plays first base for the Saints, and is getting his Mojo back , SO, maybe they will bring him up to take Kirilloffs place for few games and sit Gallo.

Gotta have mojo in the first place...before you can try to get it back.

Adjust your sarcasmeter.

With this team/front office it's a razor sharp line between the two.

I guess the bullpen is still not a priority.

Stewart has a setback Saturday, they schedule a MRI for today, and then they stand pat. Make it make sense...

Anyone watch the pregame show? If so, Falvey or Levine appear?

Judging by the comments in this so called "game thread", I don't think anyone watched the pregame or the top of the first...

Nothing. Not one thing.

[mrtwinsfan]

No Roy 3rd base is not the biggest issue for playing Time, all revolves around c.f. and D.H. in the future
