    Rocco, Rocco, Rocco. It's time to move on. Front office will never (but needs to) act...

    Sure. And if you remove the iceberg from the Atlantic Ocean on April 14, 1912, the Titanic has a really good voyage...

    So sad to have to admit this. But I'm so frustrated and bored with the Twins, I actually considered switching my attention (and channel) to an episode of General Hospital on TV...

    It's offensive to call this an offensive team. Can't believe they're actually +37 in run differential??!!
  5. killebrewlover
    And why the Twins are a mediocre team with many inconsistencies...

    Regardless of what happens tonite, it's quite clear now that the Twins are the best team in the worst division in baseball. Which is basically the same as saying they haven't proven that they can play with the best teams outside of their division yet. And please don't blame it on injuries! It's a tiring excuse.

    Every game is important. Wins are always better than losses. But imho it's the timing of those wins and losses that can sometimes have the larger impact. In a team's momentum. In it's psyche. In it's outlook. Tonight's game is important in its timing. Detroit beat the Rangers today. If the Twins lose, they will be 1 game ahead of the Tigers for the divisional lead (with Cleveland potentially 3 back if they hold on against the Orioles). We all knew that this race would tighten (didn't we??). The moment is upon the Twins. How will they respond? Put another way, champions aren't made by winning more games than losing. Champions are made from responding to those critical moments when they need to respond. And repeating that response, over and over, until the goal is met. So, let's see what this team is made of tonight, shall we?

    Hmmm... Okay. But don't rule out the Tigers in this discussion. They're right there with the Twins and Cleveland.

    Pretty pathetic...

    LOL funny.

    I seem to recall this same argument last year about mid season. "Don't worry. It's an awful division. The Twins will win in the long haul." I know the teams are not the same as last year. I don't think the situation is any different....

    The title of this entry is stealing a line from a movie, which escapes me for now (Aliens 3?). Twins lose their home opener to SF after a 2-4 road trip, following a 4-2 home stand, which followed a 2-4 road trip, which followed a 5-2 home stand, and so on. As a result, the Twins stand at 25-23 a quarter of the way through the season. Are we relegated to this level of inconsistency for the rest of the season?! There is plenty of talent on this ball club. Loads of it! And yet here we are at only 2 games over .500 and the lead in the Division in jeopardy with every passing day. We have yet to play Detroit. And Cleveland is leading the series 1-2 so far. Does anyone really think these two teams won't take advantage of the situation with the Twins so far this year??!! I suppose the only silver lining is that we are in the Central Division. Otherwise we'd be 9.5 back in the East, and 4.5 back in the West. So, I repeat. Is this all there is? Is there nothing more? Despite all the platitudes and excuses surrounding a "bad luck" set of scenarios, such seems to be the case. This is not a rant. Simply an observation. And one that will reset my expectations for the remainder of the Twin's season. Time to get revved up for the college football season...

    Someone once told me, you make your own luck. I understand that baseball is a team sport. And GJ's numbers certainly belie his real potential and capabilities. But in Trumanesque style, IMHO, the attitude of any player should be that "the buck stops here." In other words, take responsibility of your actions (even if it's questionable that it's yours to take). Learn from your mistakes. And constantly improve on your results. So, let's stop making excuses for players play, and let's start expecting production that's worthy of their level of (proposed) talent. I'm sure Mr. Jax agrees. So how about we follow his lead.
  14. killebrewlover
    We can continue to make excuses for losses. OR... we can hope that the Twins actually fix some of their issues. That is, assuming you think they have any chance at all to make the playoffs...

    Go Louie! Happy Mothers Day to all Moms everywhere.

    Loved the quote by Buxton after yesterday's loss. “We can’t change what we’re doing. We’re hitting the ball too hard...Things will change for us. When things change, we’ll get clicking. We’ve got to ride it out. It’s baseball.” Maybe some truth to that. But in the mean time, could someone please explain to me "when things [are supposed to] change"?
  17. killebrewlover
    So let's see. Cleveland loses. Detroit loses. And the Twins have yet another chance to put some distance between them and the others. And they lose, at home, to a sub-500 team. I think what we've learned in the first 39 games is that it doesn't matter who wins the Central Division. They all stink.
  18. killebrewlover
    Gotta give credit where due. He did his job. It's just difficult to watch this team at times.
  19. killebrewlover
    Oh no! It's Jax in the box!!! God help us.
  20. killebrewlover
    Bunting is a lost art in baseball. Alas.
  21. killebrewlover
    Meh...
  22. killebrewlover
    How many chances does Baldelli get before he's given his hat? I can't believe the Twins can't find someone better. Maybe it's time?

    Where is that massive earth ending meteor I ordered this evening?
  24. killebrewlover
    First four in our lineup tonight are 0 for 11. Ain't gonna cut it....
  25. killebrewlover
    I hope you're right. Time will tell...
