    That high-contrast look depends heavily on the mullet to pull it all together, but Arcia should be in good shape if he grows it out in the back some more...

    With a running four year average of 95 losses and 25 games out of first, it kinda makes you wonder how many losses they would've managed with an average GM instead of the best in baseball...

    Can't tell you how much I hope you're right. His increased media exposure alone (in addition to being a bad marketing decision) is reason enough for me to fear you won't be, though. The results of the only new GM hire by the current Pohlad regime doesn't exactly inspire confidence, either.

    If the bar is set that low then the marketing department has failed before the high jump has begun. KO is right about the survey being silly, but it's not enough to make the Twins marketing department the worst in MLB, let alone all of sports. Having heard the dull-as-dirt radio and TV spots of some other MLB teams while traveling, the idea that Twins marketing is among the worst in the league is borderline laughable to me. That being said, they've had three years to develop a successful marketing strategy not directly dependent on the quality of the product on the field, and they seem to have yet to really succeed. At this point, with the absence of creative, aggressive promotions and discounts, it's difficult to imagine how they haven't lost even more of the casual fan base than they have.

    Virtually no chance that he'll wind up with a job he's already held on an interim basis, and at a crucial phase of the season? The Twins have been loyal to the last two field managers to the point of historical folly, so it's hard to see Antony as anything less than the frontrunner for GM when Ryan steps down, despite his obvious, self-inflicted lack of qualification.

    And the 2014 season summary essay contest winner is...

    That's one of the awesome things about TD. You can reap accolades for a call that comes out right, and walk away from a wrong one like a stranger in a crowd.

    Don't forget to wash your hands and leave the fan on for at least 5 minutes afterward...

    Craptacular...

    Very nice throw by HIcks. And he's a Twins why?

    The Perk contract is not looking like the partial makeup for Mauer's that we may have hoped for...

    Welcome! You'll fit right in here, which means that your family has suddenly expanded, but you also need to revisit financial and legal liability with independent counsel after the game.
  14. LaBombo
    We like you but are.... so not behind you, either figuratively or {shudder} literally.

    Re Trout/Hicks again, Yeah. When Hicks takes off after a fly ball, my mental image is of a dyslexic Magellan in rough seas, plotting a course whilst barely able to reach the map.

    Burlington Coat "factory"? It was more like a coat treehouse. Two thumbs down.

    The lice are up to their usual antics. Something else to be concerned about?
  18. LaBombo
    Make that spare and Apu will give you a free one... Cool that Nunez tied the game with a homer, but is anyone else worried this will be banked on as another reason to bring back a shortstop gravitating toward third and a sub-.300 OBP?

    TD once again comes through by providing the effects of substance abuse without the consequences...
  20. LaBombo
    Knew that Hicks and Trout weren't in the same draft, but had forgotten that Gibson was the guy we picked ahead of him. Double bummer but good info. A bunch of other teams passed on Trout, and that's not my beef with the Twins. It's that we've been told for four years that Hicks is the second coming of Mickey Mantle, but found out after two bombs in the majors that he's not only unsure which side of the plate to hit from, but can't track a fly ball with two hands, a flashlight, and voice GPS.
  21. LaBombo
    An explanation could get ooky.
  22. LaBombo
    Wow. This is little league stuff. Molitor NOW, please. It won't fix what's wrong immediately, but it will let fans and Twins personnel know that this is not acceptable.
  23. LaBombo
    Yeah. Not trying to gin up controversy on what is turning out to be a slow night, but has anyone put together a really compelling case for Ron Gardenhire to continue to manage the Twins?
  24. LaBombo
    September 1: Roster expansion, losing team fan interest contraction. We all get that the MLB draft is a crapshoot compared to the drafts of the other 'Big 4' sports, but seeing Trout and Hicks on the same field is still painful.
