  1. Opposing managers gotta laugh at us. The strategy for the opposition is to stay close til end of game when our bullpen vomits up a run or more. Meanwhile, they bring in their top bullpen guys against the Twins bottom of the barrel guys. Twins go into home run derby mode the last couple of innings, only to have that work on rare ocassions. P;laying the Twins is like reading a book, but reading the last chapter first.
  2. I've lost respect for Morneau. He is informative, but he has transformed into the "Ultimate Excusor"
  3. Ever notice how relievers come in, and give up the big hit right away. Then blow the next three hitters away. It's lioke this giant bulge in their pants has been released.
  4. Perfect example of just how bad this team is. Could not get to a sub starter, and a bullpen known as "The Sieve".
  5. Well we'll see if Rogers owes Eddie any money.
  6. New pitcher to make us look bad. Sign above Target Field entrance, " Where pitchers come to become Cy Young"
  7. Did theilbar win an oscar in "Full metal jacket"?
  8. Why in the world can a hitter take a third called strike and be surprised? With 2 strikes you got to protect the plate. With two strikes you certainly can't be locked into looking for a specific pitch in a specific location. You just can't do that, yet they do.
  9. Well, the umps will now know Berrios' underwear brand .
  10. I can't stand Ramirez. I'd rather see him get a fastball in the ribs than to walk him.
  11. I hope the Twins can come out and play tough. There's no need to play to the level of their opponents. Step on the necks and pile it on.
  12. Bremer is now pasting on his toupee and putting in his dentures. Perkins, go over the alphabet. He's having trouble with vowels. Sorry, Morneau pinch talking for Perk
  13. Manfred is so embarrassed by the Twins, that he has instructed the umpires to ignore a foreign substance they may find on Twins' pitchers.
  14. You say poh-tah-toe, I say poe-tay-toe.
  15. I knew a mime once, who was a baritone.
  16. Baldelli's new theory. According to his analytics, Sano is good for possibly one at bat per 4 at bats per game. Baldelli feels not starting Sano will eliminate the horrific at bats and the POSSIBLE one good at bat will come at towards the end of the game. Hopefully an at bat that results in Sano hitting the long ball.
  17. I heard francona will miss the start of tonight's game. He ordered all you can eat shrimp from room service at lunch, and he says he's got a long ways to go.
  18. I want to split the series, with the guarantee we will win all remaining games with the players from Cleveland.
  19. Squirrel, what do you do in the performing arts?
  20. You typed the words right out of my keyboard. Excellent post. LOL!
  21. Twins FO is most directly to blame for the team's woes this season so far.   Granted, some of Baldelli's moves have been questionable to darn right mind boggling, but the FO has done nothing in ways to provide him with any alternatives.  It's been like a carousel of pitches from the minors to the majors of young pitchers.  And the bullpen put together at season's start proved to be inadequate quite early.

    No effort was seen by the fans from the FO to improve the bullpen.  No trades or even a signing of a free agent pitcher, not signed during during this past off season.  I know, it sounds fruitless to try and find someone, but at least it would show the fans that the FO was trying.  

  22. Only India on his hit has taken a full swing. They look like they're playing ping pong. I'd fire a pitch or two about 4 inches from their adam's apple.
