Meaningless baseball from here on out boys…… see ya in February for another worthless year if this FO/manager are still in place.

I'm always down to start a ownership revolution. Sooooo maybe see ya in January?

[insagt1]

see how easy it was to score 1 lousy run....when it didn't matter. Lewis and Jeffers combined left 14 men on base with some of the weakest AB's of the season.

[jaimedude]

This game was lost when Royce Lewis failed to execute one professional at-bat in extra innings. I realize Vazquez is almost up and I still want to move on from Ryan Jeffers.

100 loss club ends our season. No words for this past 6 weeks of “baseball”

My exact thoughts…. How fitting that the dagger comes from the mighty Marlins 

[exeoud]

Yeah Correa might have had a chance to beat that out but it saves us from watching Royce Lewis flail at 3 sliders out of the zone.

I'm a bit sympathetic because he's gutting it out, but if Correa hustles on that, he beats it out.....

He stopped running hard about 40% down the line. Very clear 

[LewFordLives]

How does one even go about removing the stink of this season? Firing Rocco won't be enough.

[RpR]

Marlins played to win; the Twins played like fools.

[thelanges5]

If they had just been bad since mid-Aug they’d be in the playoffs. 
 

Instead they went 12-24, that’s just plain awful. 

[OvertheHill]

I get the contract thing, but any complete collapse/system failure in a major sport like we’ve just witnessed would AUTOMATICALLY be followed by a massive house cleaning. Like they say, you can’t really fire all the players, for better or for worse, so who does that leave????

[h2oface]

Ownership and Baldelli decisions aside, these players really sucked the last two months. Not one of them hasn't added to the disfunction. The players lost, and are shown to be highly overrated by the hometown fans. You are your record.

The game would have been over if Jeffers would have just caught that easy throw to the plate that cost the run. All kinds of little things. How about the tragic reverse of grand slams to a 2 foot dribble off the plate with the bases sacked, These guys sucked.

Congrats to  Tigers and  Royals,  3 from the Central  and were out ====FUNNY

[TwinsCD]

Welp, that about does it.  

*Ownership a bunch of cheap a-holes

*GM fails miserably in every move he/they made

*Manager is the dumbest in the sport

*Players are grossly delinquent with fundamentals and don't have a single clutch muscle in any of their bodies because they've likely strained or pulled them.

17 games over .500 on August 16 and this is the s*** sandwich they serve the fans to end the season.

Hopefully, the hurricane remnants here don't wipe out the HS football game I'm working tomorrow night so I don't have to watch it officially end.  Absolutely freaking pathetic.

Cory should ask Morneau what crazier things have happened than the Twins making a playoffs in this scenario?

Well Morneau was on that 2009 team which was basically just as of a scenario.

[sampleSizeOfOne]

Oh well.

 

Just catching up on the extra innings.

Boston's 12 inning game had a happier inning.

They really were awful. Almost all of them

Thanks for the company!

Its a start ,  has to happen

[RpR]

Jeffers, Julien and Lewis had better think real hard about what will happen between now and Spring Training.

Literally by fans not attending games. There is waaaaay too much stench going on for any traditional methods of "righting the ship" to be sufficient. Do. not. attend. games.

And we've seen every one of them play 10x better. The ones that remain need a wake up call.

[jaimedude]

This was fitting end, and what Joe Pohlad earned as much as the manager, and players. Can one of the older Sons take back the reigns? At least one savy enough to negotiate a decent media rights deal, TV and radio and one better at PR.

That season was crazier than the Twins sweeping an AL stalwart while their division competition got swept?

[mnfireman]

'09 Twins calling current team a bunch of p**sies, except for the '09 player in the broadcast booth....

I don't care to listen to Morneau drone on as color guy. My least favorite of the group. I enjoy Glen Perkins and Ploufe c a lot more.

Looking forward to is Randallstu's article tomorrow...

[Linus]

If the Twins thought they had a PR problem before they ain’t seen nothing yet. I’m sure their crack business ops group is up to the task 😀

[NYCTK]

Honestly, I blame the losers for wearing their pants above the knees. Gfto with that crap. You look like jokes and you played to match.
