    Dozier 2-2 and he brought a glove
  4. Riverbrian
    If he gets up to .350... We will just have to suffer thru a painful regression... Cut him now.
  5. Riverbrian
    Dozier... In scoring position... I'm looking at Mauer and Doumit now. BRING HIM IN!
  6. Riverbrian
    It looked like he had a toe on it. It just takes one little toe!
  7. Riverbrian
    How was he safe?
  8. Riverbrian

    I knew it was gonna happen but I was tired of him. I do that at the Casino... I'll play the slots and lose and lose... I know its gonna pop... I walk away down 30 bucks and boom... The lights start flashing behind me.

    GLORM!!! What's Up Glorm? a Roof... Some Lights... And what appears to be dust from 1922.

    I'm sick of that striking out... With a runner on third.
  13. Riverbrian
    Ok... Bring that run in Mr. vet... Morneau
  14. Riverbrian

    It depends on if they've had enough!!!

    I agree 100%... It's my biggest concern going forward and the thing that I know the least about when it comes to this clubs makeup... Cuz... I don't know anything about how these players present themselves in the dugout. I'm just not seeing it on the TV that I'm watching... I don't know if it is or isn't because I don't know the players... But it is... absolutely contagious!!! There is only one truth in my mind. If you are good enough to play in the major leagues... You are good enough to win in the major leagues. I don't care about Gibson getting lit up... It happens... I do care about a pitcher keeping the club in the game (Walters, Deduno, Diamond vs. the Yankees) and if they do... Doing what it takes to win that game when it is there for the taking. This is what Terry Ryan needs to know for 2014... Who can play the game when the score is 2-2 or 3-3?

    This isn't meant to bash Gardy so please don't violate policy in your responses. Serious Question... Will Gardenhire reach 1,000 Wins with the Twins. I think he will but he has to do it this year(in my opinion) because if he doesn't he will be replaced for next year... of course in my opinion. He needs 32 more wins to reach 68 this year and 1,000 for his career. 67 Wins will leave him short and probably short a job in 2014. 32 Wins should be easy enough but... This team could get younger at the trade deadline and with youth comes youthful mistakes.

    I agree with you... I looked at the team on paper and thought... OK... This will be tough... I looked at this season as a chance to see who would be with us in 2014. But I always knew... that as long as Mauer, Morneau, Willingham, Doumit were getting the lions share of playing time. This was not going to be a rebuilding year. It was gonna be something else. What I continue to not see with this team is... excitement. I actually fell asleep watching them yesterday!!! I'm not blaming myself for that... I blame them. They put me to sleep. Deduno is the only guy I've seen give a fist pump in the past year and about the only guy who looks like the result matters to him. When was the last time... We plowed a catcher??? The last guy who got thrown out trying to take the extra base that I recall was 39 year Jamey Carroll by Gordon. That was a good thing... Not a bad thing... That's playing the game with passion. You won't find me debating the merits of .270 vs. .220 Games are won by not striking out back to back with runners on 3rd and 2nd and nobody out. These types of problems come with youth and I understand that but when the Vets are not doing anything significant to cover for those youth mistakes. I end up falling asleep. What do we have for 2014??? I'm not sure. Mauer, Plouffe, and Arcia are in... Who Else?

    My planet... I didn't think playoffs but I never discounted the possibility. If the Twins would have swept the Yankees... Souhan would have had to write a different article. As it stands... In my opinion... His article is spot on... This is a team without strengths. Power should have been a strength but its not. 3-4-5 in the order has been dismal. It is much harder but still possible to win without strengths... Just play with some pride! I just watched a team get 4 game swept by David Adams, Alberto Gonzalez, Zoilo Almonte, Lyle Overbay, Luis Cruz and Chris Stewart. I watched Philip Hughes strike out only 3 batters in 7 innings work and 2 of those three strikeouts were Parmelee and Hicks back to back with runners on Third and Second and nobody out. A time when contact should be the only thought on your mind and it wasn't like contact was a problem the rest of the game. These were not the Yankees. This was a team that we have to beat. Unless... They can start a 10 game winning streak today. Souhan is right... It's over and it shakes my planet.

    Yes it does... 2030 is gonna be awesome.
  25. Riverbrian
    No... It makes sense... You need balance... If you are having a terrific day... You need a little dose of bad... Or it will even up harder some other day.
