Hope springs eternal... that is unless you're a Twins fan.

This is a rant.  But there's also some reality woven into my comments.  I'm 69.  I've been watching the Twins and been a fan for at least 60+ years.  Over the last 30+ years or so (and more recently the last 20), every year I think to myself,  "Maybe this is the year?".   I'm generally an optimistic person.  I believe in miracles.  I believe in Santa Claus.  I believe in the underdog.  But I'm now convinced that the Twins organization is flawed to the point of being irreparably broken.  From the owners, to the coaching staff, to the players.  And I see no reason to be optimistic about this team the way they are now or in the near future.  I'm tired of worn out excuses and promises.  I'm tired of ineptitude in play and decision making.  I'm tired of unaccountability and finger pointing.  In my humble opinion, the Twins franchise should move to another city.  Why should Minneapolis/St. Paul bear the weight of this crushingly hopeless collection of misfits.  If you're going to play baseball, then play baseball.  What I've been watching lately (and for quite some time now), is not playing baseball.  It's going thru the motions, while thinking about what you're going to have for dinner when the game is over.  The Twins are an embarrassment to their fans and to themselves.  If I were a player on the Twins, I'd be begging for a trade to get as far away from this team as possible.  If the Twins manage to salvage the season, I'll be the first to admit it I was wrong.  But I'm not.  I will admit at this point, I'm done following them and the rest of their misguided attempts this year.  QED.
