Game 162 is finally upon us. What a difference a year makes. Rollercoaster of a season. Go Twins!

[Brad Philbrick]

I agree wholeheartedly! So much of the roller coaster season was due to the vast amount of injuries this season.

[jaimedude]

Figured Twins were pretty much washed out mentally after Marlins losses. One thing I still cannot figure out from Friday down 2-0. You know the Royals had lost (still not eliminated)and you bring in Thielbar and Funderburk in relief. Funderburk who had just been activated from DL and hadn't pitched in forever. Night before Rocco says everyone is available, that was a real head scratcher by Rocco. Maybe that was throwing in the towel because the front office activated Funderburk, I don't know. Theoretically they were not eliminated yet. Of all the bullpen moves this season, that was one of the weirdest decisions of the year, Funderburk. One of 2024's mysteries that will live on. This and pulling Ober in Kansas City when he was cruising. I was at the game. Kansas City was absolutely flailing at the plate and were not seeing what Ober was throwing. Ober wasnt even swearing and hus pitch count was like bad innings. The Cleveland series, two  10 inning losses, there was fight and effort by the Twins but nothing the manager did worked out. Last Marlins extra innings loss, the popped out bunt. We seemed cursed with injuries but there was also some terrible luck involved and bad ju ju. Twins need a sage or smudge ceremony in the clubhouse to chase away the weird and angry spirits hanging around.

Surprised they didn't resign Jay Jackson for a day.

I want Randy to come in and throw two 0's on the board.  Get a W.

[Craig Arko]

At least three players in the starting lineup that won’t be with the team next year.

[thelanges5]

Should’ve started Helman instead of Magoo.

He's got a better chance of hitting two O's..

[Parfigliano]

Margot, Rocco and Farmer last game I hope.

I'm going to ignore 28-O Vikings over Green Bay and sit back and enjoy a Twins game instead.

If the Pohlads don't sell nothing will change.

If they don't buy, nothing will either.

No resolution?!

I have to wait another 6 months to see how it turns out?

Act now, and we'll throw in a free bottle cap opener.

Sonny is getting used to this. If only he'd go seven innings it wouldn't keep happening..
