Twins Sign Tyler Clippard
Five minute major replied to Seth Stohs's topic in Twins Daily Front Page News
Love this signing along with bringing fan fave Romo back. But we absolutely need to make an impact move by getting RYU and/or Donaldson. Twins fans will respond at the gate Pohlads............... -
It is time for the Twins to pony up. We built them a stadium now it is time for the payback. The offense is there for a contender. This market has proven it will attend games where there is realistic hope of a winner. IMO, this is the opportunity to make up for not signing premium hitting during the Gardy years. IMHO, if the Twins do not have record payroll at the start of the season, they are very boycott worthy.

Moose and pitching please.

You do feel some of our pain but you only have to deal with one pathetic franchise. I am talking about ALL of our sports. No team has underperformed historically like the Vikings. They have the best regular season recoard in All the NFL of teams never to win a SB. Both the North Stars and Wild have never won a Cup. The Timberwolves are arguably the worst franchise in professional sports. Cripes, even our Gophers football and basketball teams (considered the fifth and sixth major sports in a market) have done diddly squat. Yes the Twins have won two world series but the last was 28 years ago!!!! We have done crap since. There is no other market in the US with four major (or even THREE) sports team to go longer without a championship than this market. And don't get me started on the individual tragedies that have befell this market like no other. No market has lost more superstar players to career altering injuries like this one, particularly the Twins. This market is the owner of the WORST trade in SPORTS history with Herschel Walker. The Wolves contract with KG was the last of its kind, handcuffing the franchise for years and forcing a complete overhaul of NBA contracts immediately after that. Joe Smith contract losing the Wolves FOUR first round picks. It was the Vikes loss in 2009 that changed the OT rule forever in the NFL. I could go on and on and on but am getting physically ill writing this...……………..

Not unexpected when you factor that a Minnesota sports team was actually generating some excitement. No fan base is as cursed as we are.

Wow. Thoughts and prayers to Blake Blivens and family. No words to describe the awefulness of that story.

Andrew Luck retiring, Mauer and others. A perspective.

Great post. Twins fans know the heartbreak that comes from seeing star players careers get derailed by injuries more than most fan bases. Oliva, Puckett, Morneau, Koskie, Liriano and Mauer to name the most significant. As a fan, one of my biggest heartbreaks was not getting to see Molitor and Puckett in the same lineup in '96 due to Kirby's eye. Molitor tore it up that year. What could have been...…..
