No Fire at all.

Of course we'd also know what Glunn looks like naked and we don't want that.

Gun is alright. He's kind enough to share some information when he runs across it. If everyone in the world was like that. We would all know what Winona Ryder looks like naked.

Good First inning for PJ.

The Orioles can have him... Valencia and Delmon Young were the only two Twins from the past decade that I never want to see again.

Oops... I mean... c'mon Walters... Relax and spot your pitches.

3-0... C'mon Correia... Relax and Spot your pitches.

I see the need for a bigger pen. That makes sense. I understand the corner outfield/1B crowd that has been growing larger and it should be reduced. I see we have some players on the roster that are not easy to send down. However... We just sent down the guy who is currently the 2nd best power option on the team and one of three guys with an OPS over .800 against RH. The Tigers ain't gonna throw any lefties at us and I don't think the Brewers are either.

And I get what you are saying as well... There is a difference between Mike Trout and Drew Butera so I don't want to be misunderstood. The front office put the team together... Ultimately they are responsible. Its just a losing streak.. All teams will go through a losing streak... I don't want to seem like I'm over reacting but its just the way this bad streak looks to me. We may have a differing in this opinion of mine. Maybe we don't. I strongly believe... If you are a major league ball player... That means you are a talented player and you are capable of winning ball games. To me its that simple. My clubhouse temper tantrum script isn't the result of tonight. It's the culmination of the baseball I've been watching the past 10 losses. Ive watched the Starting Staff fall in on itself and I've watched the offense grind to a halt and then for a little bit of extra salt in my eye... I've watched the little things that can turn things around get passed by... Like it just doesn't matter anymore. For example Sunday against the Red Sox... 3rd inning... we are down 1-0 to the Red Sox. One Out and Victorino is on first. Pedro makes a decent pitch and Gomes flips one into CF for a lucky hit. Hicks gathers up the ball in shallow CF... The replay showed that Victorino was maybe a third of the way to third when Aaron had the ball in his hand. Hicks... The man with a cannon for an arm has a fairly easy throw but instead he tosses the ball to the SS. Thats not competing... That is laying down and dying. I watched them do this crap last year and I don't want to watch them do it again. I don't care if they lose... I just don't want them to "Roger Dorn" it while they lose. The play after that... Double play ball hit to Plouffe and he sidearm flips it past the 2B into RF. Move your feet... The team is losing... Move your feet like you give a rip... It ain't the time to be casually flipping the ball into RF. Now tomorrow... Its those Tigers again... Division rivals... Yeah... they got a great squad... its better than ours... i don't care... I want to see a catcher plowed tomorrow. I want to see someone taking an extra base. i want to see someone steal a base. i want to see Correia throw inside and look like he meant it... I want to see someone trying to nail the lead runner instead of the easy out. I want some diving catches... I want simple flipping contact with the baseball at the plate when a runner reaches third and one out. I want productive outs at the least on offense... I want some plays made in the field. I want the stuff that all MLB players should be able to do... even the bad ones... I want them playing with some pride and I want them to get up. Congrats to all the Twins... You made the majors... The odds against making the majors is astronomical... It took talent to get here. If you have the talent to make the big leagues... You then have the talent to at least compete. Take a look behind you... There are a bunch coming up and they want your job.

Hey Wayne's World is on Fuse... Party Time... excellent...

I don't know what the locker room dynamic is with the Twins but the best teams have that I have seen... Have that guy.

It has to be better... If it doesn't... The Twins will be relegated and have to compete in the Championship League against teams like Blackpool and Leeds.

OK... Losing streak at 10... Time to throw a water cooler or something. Somebody needs to take a bat and pound on an inanimate object... Toss the bat on the clubhouse floor so it makes a loud (wood bat hitting floor) sound. Spin around and curse at the top of his lungs... Let some silence fill the room and calmly say... Enough is Enough. Does everyone in this locker room understand... Enough is enough. Do we have a guy on the team who will do that?

It was probably pent up. He had to blow sometime.

C'mon Snepp give em a "take that".

How about ... Singing it to the tune of Camptown Races.. Sanchez has a no hitter... Doo da... Doo da... Now he has to pitch the ninth oh da do da day.

I wonder if Thielbar could be stretched out or is that too... out of the box?

I like this Thielbar so far... And That Rhymes.

Mildly? I need some Zoloft!

Lets try the opposite approach. Sanchez is gonna throw a no hitter

The no hitter ends this inning.

What happened to Deduno's fastball? Coming in at 88... Touching 90 on occasion... And he is throwing a lot of off speed stuff as well.

I like to be optimistic... But the Astros would be a problem for us right now. I'm actually serious when I say that the Memphis Cardinals AAA team would be a problem for us right now. This is a team wide funk.

I'm here... I was genuinely looking forward to tonight. I missed the fateful 2nd inning. Tuned in just in time to see Parmelee try to pull one back. I guess it hasn't been the start I was hoping for.

I'd love to have a 4.44 ERA on the 2013 team right now.
