    From 2002 through 2010, the Twins posted the 7th highest position player WAR in all of MLB, three spots behind the Yankees. No other AL Central team cracked the top 10. In that same span, the Twins posted the 3rd highest pitcher WAR in all of MLB, and trailed the prima donna Yankees by about 1 percent. So not only are you selling the talent level of the 2002-2010 Twins awfully short, you're missing the fact that with all that talent, Gardenhire managed to lose three quarters of his regular season games against the Yankees, and follow up that historical futility with a 2-12 postseason record against them. Gardenhire had a nine year run with a team only slightly less talented than the Yankees, and he and his piranha b.y.t.o philosophy got their butts kicked off the planet by the team that most embodies the opposite philosophy: acquiring talented players regardless of attitude and riding their soap opera steamroller to seven playoff series wins in that same span, and a World championship to add to the three WS they won in the previous six year run.

    At the very least, let's wait and see where we stand after we trade Buxton for a proven closer...

    Didn't Gardy need just 5 wins for 1000 at, like, the beginning of September? A's were still in a race then and yet they have a good shot at clinching before he 'celebrates' 1000. Sigh. Another long season.

    No sweat. Pretty sure I read in another thread that he's going to be a plus defender... Just needs to work on his balance and not talk on his cell phone in the outfield. http://cdn.na16.netdna-cdn.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/07/oswaldo-arcia-minnesota-twins.jpg

    Was there a typo in the 110,000+ characters of eloquent jibberish that I clearly directed against the baseball establishment that you've clearly sold your soul to?

    Toast happens.

    No offense, but... duh, cheeseball grin guy on the right. You think I'd be adding random missives to a cooked-season (Correia!) game thread if I were even remotely descended from the Greek god banjo dude instead of the Monkey's Relative on the right? You have to admit, like Povich, that MR has the more infectious smile, though, right?

    My aunt had to quit grad school after a night spent finding out, among other things, that the banjo player's expression of mirth was at best disingenuous, and at worst a mask for lust for adult situations that leaned toward 'outside the norm'.

    Adagio for Strings, anyone? http://i1.ytimg.com/vi/34mNg12vg6Q/hqdefault.jpg

    Possibly still reeling from the (after?) effects of their dugout being a rectangular wading pool of feces and medical waste. Then again, they may have had a really tough night, even for them. Not ravings of a hater, confessions of a (blessedly brief) neighbor.

    Winston Smith for darkhorse Oscar mod buzz.

    Was busy trying to use Spray and Wash to get a bruise off my arm and a stain off my teeth, so maybe I misheard some buffoonery from DiRt about how pointless it is to try to draw any conclusions about how revenue might correlate to a team not sucking.

    Batting a middle infielder second no matter what?

    So you're saying hotdog fingers. Great, let's do weight jokes! That should defuse the situation until the water cannons get here! You're the guy from the oil company who talks to the press when an offshore oil platform rolls over and destroys the gulf of Mexico because they fixed broken pylons with zip ties, aren't you? On the other hand, I may be over-reacting due to the stress of arguing where the portable club seating chairs should go to get the SS TiTarget ready for its 2014 cruise.

    Got no use for sane time 'round these parts, Mista. You best be movin' on. Just kidding. Stick around. Chief is about to use his Mod-handled Peacemaker on an exceptionally unpleasant Blacksox troll.

    That's, like, the perfect balance between 'PG-13' and the faintly masked SAP-like audible-to-adults-only dialogue encoded into Pixar movies.

    Soor Reey! Sheesh, it's not like I had time to notice what with trying to find out why the hell Morneau wasn't in the lineup again. And not to nitpick, but wouldn't not noticing just make me what they used to call "slow", but not the reflex kind? Or were you being polite? Not sure, reflexes have been a bit off lately... PS. Belated http://www.graphics99.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/11/Fabulous-Congratulations-Graphic.giffrom moderator college, Chief. Go get 'em. Unless 'em is me.
