    Upgraded for Tommy Milone's mom's clippings collection under the refrigerator magnets.

    Milone avoids a wild pitch on the intentional walk, and a part of me is disappointed.

    Watching extra innings of a 100 loss Twins team is a little like getting a fourth crown on a healthy tooth because your dentist is having a 'buy three, get one free' sale. But only a little. A week after the season I'll already be missing the lovable, losing lugs.

    I'm somewhat bitter that Molitor has finally managed to make me feel relieved that a hitter with 42 home runs was not asked to bunt. When a player has 42 home runs, the only correct sign for a bunt is a burning bush. http://media.theiapolis.com/d4/hIJ/i1RFO/k4/l1RVO/wZJ/charlton-heston-as-moses-in-the-ten-commandments.jpg

    Which is on pace for a full season with 630 PA's in which he would be hit by a pitch 140 times. I'd pay to see that.
  6. LaBombo
    Yep. http://coworking.worksprogressseattle.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/10/bingo-win-e1445447306742-1024x443.jpg You meant the Twins? <shrug> Oh.

    Shame was like three steps ago in the Twins fan grief cycle process for me. I'm leaving One Hundred Loss Resignation for First Overall Draft Pick Euphoria as we speak.

    Hey, you're a Twins fan... how much worse can they really make you feel? As a bonus, here's a suggestion for your daily Twins fan gratitude exercise: be thankful that the 100th loss occurred with a full week of baseball left instead of coming down to the suspense of the final weekend.

    The Twins franchise started to become indistinguishable from a non-competitive entertainment product at virtually the exact moment that it was handed the stadium they had assured us for decades was the critical tool it lacked to make it perennially competitive. That slide culminated in the Twins fielding the worst team in all of baseball this year. If I were Jim Pohlad, I'd be grateful for any fans left to be upset with the Twins and hungry for change, even if that hunger could be mistaken for an impulse to commit arson.

    If it's any consolation, you could imagine Falvey kicking himself for being five years older than Theo was when he got his chief executive baseball job. Of course, Falvey may be too busy kicking himself for accepting a job in an organization that just lost its 100th game of the season. In any case he's an outside hire, and the silly straw man argument that 'an outside hire is guaranteed to be the answer' notwithstanding, that's a good thing.

    Twins with 15 wins in September. And August. Combined.
  12. LaBombo
    Fueled by a renewable resource like Bacardi, no doubt.

    That gif is too awesome for mere words, and yet I fear that before this wretched season is over, the Twins will manage to do something so terrible it can only be symbolized by JarJar dancing with Ewoks.
  14. LaBombo
    And if not we have a scapegoat, Mr. Jinxypants.
  15. LaBombo
    We independently chose the word 'disaster' to describe the game... ...always the mark of a quality product.
  16. LaBombo
    Grossman makes up for the double error by popping out to help end the game and force dazed Twins fans out of the stadium to seek their own answers to this disaster somewhere out in the Minnesota night.

    You mean the recycled Gatorade, or people who are fit enough to run marathons?

    It's just a tuneup for Fan Appreciation weekend! http://media.salon.com/2014/03/washington-mudslide.jpeg59-620x412.jpg

    As the Game Thread approaches the brutal 8th inning wall of another blowout, Brian and Chief arrive just in time to pass out 'Likes' to weary posters... http://www.runnerspace.com/members/photos/5006/Gatorade-Bogota12_full.jpg Going against advice, mindcrime gulps his 'likes' and quickly pays the price.
  20. LaBombo
    Excellent baseball knowledge, but that was different because nobody liked Tommy John.
  21. LaBombo
    Logan Schafer, the poor man's Eric Komatsu....
  22. LaBombo
    Ok, 10's a nice, round number, so let's maybe go ahead and wrap it up, Twins.
  23. LaBombo
    Well, Grossman's wacky outfield folly was the 2016 shark jump moment for me. http://beyondthemarquee.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/homer_jump_the_shark1.gif And even before Grossie's double downward dog error, the bullpen was on pace for a 300 pitch night to record the last 9 outs.
  24. LaBombo
    Alternative spelling for your consideration.
  25. LaBombo
    Dick reminding us that thanks to roster expansion, the Twins have an 11 man bullpen, and I'm like 'yyyeah, that should eventually get us through the 7th and maybe part of the 8th, but what about the rest?'
