    Used to love Tim Laudner making up for a stolen base/run scored by swinging and missing so hard the next inning that the earth's rotation was affected.

    The Twins organization has always valued The Old Ways...
  3. LaBombo
    Weird. If you look up 3rd base/1 out on the custom Twins run expectancy matrix, there's just a gif...

    An unwelcome omen to be sure, but still a more pleasant sign of spring than the back yard thaw followed by the Dog Poop Reveal.

    Missing all the Twins' at bats of their first inning in 2025 seems like a high price to pay for a 45 second trip to the refrigerator...

    Kick save and a beauty after those first 6 words that looked like a possible suspension.

    Best wishes to Kiriloff in his next endeavor. This has to be tough. He's certainly had some injury issues and it's absolutely his decision, but a surprising one for injuries that would not normally be considered career-ending at age 26, individually or even cumulatively. The modest, somewhat muted 'Bummer but whaddaygonnado?' fan reaction on social media, by contrast, seems pretty unsurprising in light of the Twins organization's recent trajectory and its decade-long run as the place top prospects' hopes go to die.

    Yes, criticism of the Pohlads is probably just beating a titanium horse piñata. With cooked pasta. But at the very least it's a change of pace from describing how pathetic the Twins looked in their Los Angles Rams uniforms as they exited the playoff picture for good enroute to kick off the sweep by the Orioles. Just think of it as a quirky Minnesota tradition that nobody can explain... like deep-frying and eating completely random organic matter at the State Fair, or doing tavern pull tabs until your BAC is higher than the NASDAQ.

    E Z flow chart to determine if the Twins' manager and front office will be back next year: 1. Are they presently alive? - If no, they will not return - If yes, proceed to question 2. 2. Did the organization's revenue performance meet the expectations of the Pohlad family? - If no, they will not return - If yes, they will return It's not rocket science. It's not even bottle rocket science. As long as Bally's checks don't bounce and people show up at Target to watch a team with a coin flip chance to win, this is status quo Pohlad ownership until the asteroid gets here.

    At least the Orioles didn't hang a shutout on our beloved Los Angeles Rams...

    On the great green field There was a team And a broken dream And a closeup of... A manager leaving there soon And there were some hitters Who are frequently sitters And a rich but sad 'Lad And fans who were mad And a string of L's, and a crowd in a hush Minus all those who left in a rush Goodnight team Goodnight dream Goodnight manager leaving soon Goodnight hitters Goodnight quitters Goodnight L's, and E's, and K's Goodnight anyone wanting a raise And goodnight Margo Please move to Fargo
  12. LaBombo
    Momentum ftw...
  13. LaBombo
    Margo laces a double down the line and eases into 2nd where his 3 year extension awaits his signature.

    His best moment this season was when the Twins fell out of realistic contention just before Fangraphs ran their article today titled "The Weakest Positions on the Remaining AL Contenders". It names the Orioles as having the worst 2b output, but still refers to the formerly contending Twins' second base situation as... "murky". Farmer is like a mid-30's Steve Lombardozzi minus the endearing trait of getting into fistfights with Dan Gladden.
  15. LaBombo
    Their season is worse than a land war in Asia.
  16. LaBombo
    Twins could also clinch with an Apostolic Pardon for poor post-ASG play from Pope Francis. Word has it he's a Dodgers guy tho.

    'Buddy our Twins are going all the way this year, and if you keep looking into the woods over there, pretty soon you'll see the World Series victory parade going by. No more slumps, no more blown leads. Everybody is happy. Just keep looking... over that way.'

    Can't wait to see this guys light up Waukee, Iowa in November...
  19. LaBombo
    Can't remember if I did or not, but I'll happily take credit for it if you got a laugh out of it.😉
  20. LaBombo
    Twins' implosion is not only national news, but also now worthy of a 'choke update' on ESPN2's Squeeze Play clip show. I'm not really much more of a pitchforks and torches guy than the next Twins fan, but it's worth noting that Baldelli is essentially a .500 manager since his rookie season.
  21. LaBombo
    Exciting game, and grateful for the crucial win. But no, Tim Laudner, I'm certain I do not "gotta hand it to the Twins' bullpen" for a 9th inning featuring 2 pitchers, 6 batters, and the go ahead run making the last out by losing a race to first.
  22. LaBombo
    .
  23. LaBombo
    Nothing quite like a 9th inning that makes you feel like you won 4 to 3.999...
  24. LaBombo
    Yep. When protein-based good luck charms go bad, they go bad fast.
  25. LaBombo
    I'm gonna give 'em credit for at least 25, seeing as how David Wells Perfect Gamed the Twins' all-JV squad in '98. And anyone who claims Wells was hung over during the game is damn liar, because he was still drunk.
