    You know teekz, all you have to do is post more (get 300 posts) and then you can: change your own Membership Title.

    Yep, and their record was still 11-18 so don't party too hearty.

    I routinely mute Dick and Bert, why wouldn't you mute the Hawk? Silence is golden.

    But what if you can't develop them? It has been so long since Johan Santana that I question whether the Twins system is conducive to developing an elite pitcher. It's time for a change.

    I liked interleague play when it was within a specified period (or periods) in the season. Now it just seems as the NL teams have become "one more series" since it is all spread out. It has lost that "special" feeling that occurred when it was concentrated at one or two times.

    Way to depress me even more.

    This reminds me of the question I asked last week: "Do we even recognize good baseball any more?" Have we simply watched so many years of dismal ball that we are willing to lap up any signs of improvement? The Twins may have been 5th in runs scored in August but their record was still 11-18 (worse than their season average if I am doing my math correctly) .... and it wasn't all due to pitching. The Twins were able to pad that run total by beating up on AAAA pitchers but when it came to facing ML average or better pitchers, it often seemed like they were stymied. I understand the argument that there aren't many roster spots available to fill and I'm willing to see how these players develop but I'm not sure how much more palatable that is going to make 2015. I just don't see the pitching as being there. The defense will continue to be spotty. And the hitting will be unpredictable. It isn't a very pleasant picture when we come to year 5 of the debacle.

    Looking forward to the Konerko goodbye more than I did the Jeter send-off.

    Dustin Morse ‏@Twins_morsecode · now Mauer entered play today having swung at the first pitch just 12.3% of the time. He hit Andrew Miller's 1st offering & drove in 2. #MNTwins

    Shhhhh.... (the Twins have a lead). Keep it quiet.

    I wanted to be an optometrist but I just couldn't see it.

    I was a lawyer but I lost my briefs.

    Just a nice way for Bernier to make some money after years of toiling in the minors and a nice reward for being Red Wings MVP this season.

    Phil Miller ‏@MillerStrib · 19m Twins announce 8 Sept callups: Hicks, Pinto, Herrmann, Bernier, Oliveros, Darnell, Tonkin, Achter. http://www.startribune.com/sports/twins/blogs/273450711.html In addition to the players, the Twins will add an extra coach. Tim Dougherty, hitting coach for Class AAA Rochester, will spend the first two weeks of September with the Twins, and Red Wings manager Gene Glynn will replace him from Sept. 15-28.

    That could liven up the slide show at the wedding reception -- if they get that far.
  18. JB_Iowa
    This paints a very sorry picture.
  19. JB_Iowa
    Wasn't Hardy once a Twin? Sigh ...
  20. JB_Iowa
    I'd have guessed Mick's. Sounds like it would be more of a bar than a restaurant. And did Melody's "make your tastebuds sing?"
  21. JB_Iowa
    So Brian, were the walleye and chicken at Mick's or Melody's?
  22. JB_Iowa
    It's up to the first page now!!
  23. JB_Iowa
    Quick, somebody, tell me again why we watch this?
  24. JB_Iowa
    And leftovers are always good. Send that doggy bag this way.
  25. JB_Iowa
    Nice play, Plouffe .... all for waste.
