    "Lord Byron"-- I love it. I like him so much I hope he leaves for a better team and gets a ring somewhere.

    "Keep the train moving forward"????? How about a different metaphor. Maybe "baby steps"?

    I see your point, But I submit: Chicago White Sox. We are closer to them than to the other Central teams.

    Don't have to read article. Answer is yes.

    5% of Twin's success next year, at most, will be a consequence of the manager. 95% will be a consequence of the payroll/personnel decisions. So hire whom you will, and focus on signing the best players (I wish).

    Twins were 11.5 games out of first; Cleveland was 11.0 games out. Who would have thought Detroit capable of such a collapse. Had the Twins not had a fire sale, and even strengthened themselves a bit, they could at least theortically been competitive in the race.

    "Alleged"? So it was a crime?

    At least I learned the term "dog's breakfast" reading this article.

    This is a sad, sad team.

    Residing in Phoenix puts them in the middle of a lot of Minnesota snowbirds (Minne-zona). BUT Their signings with the Suns (Durant, Beal), did not improve the team.

    Having just watched the World Series, I can only conclude: we could make the playoffs, but no way win the Series.

    This was the worst for me in all the years since 1960, when I first started following the Twins. The only thing close is the long string of first round playoff losses. Reminds me of 1964 Phillies (I lived outside Philly at the time), but over a longer time frame. I also remember 1967 as a two-game heartbreak. This will haunt the manager AND the players next year, so I feel a new manager and a fresh slate of players is needed. Look what Detroit did this year as the contrapositive.

    Rather than start a new thread, I will insert this here: Time to retool completely. Trade the existing high dollar contracts for up and coming talent (like Povich?). At least we won't be in last place as long as the White Sox are terrible. If we must build a team with a low budget, this is the only way forward.

    I remember him so well; my father was a graduate student at Purdue in that era so I was aware of him before he was drafted. Happy to see him on the Twins. Suspect by now he has had a total knee replacement.
