  1. Twins are now 2.5 games up on the Native American team. Getting kind of close to last place.
  2. Check see if he needs glasses! If that isn't it trade him to the Red Sox, he can take the dh spot from Ortiz when he retires.
  3. Dozier very homerun happy. Sometimes a single is OK!
  4. When I read about the evils of drinking, I gave up reading. Henny Youngman
  5. Slump? I ain't in no slump... I just ain't hitting. Yogi Berra
  6. A drunk was in front of a judge. The judge says, "You've been brought here for drinking." The drunk says, "Okay, let's get started."
  7. If we end up worried about his options he likely is a bust. The thing to worry about is can he stay on the field.
  8. Why does it take trading every top prospect to improve the team?
  9. Is it possible that with a couple decent moves the team would be playing better?
  10. Terry has been the GM for 17 years. He has a sub 500 record by over 100 games. His teams have won one playoff series, 13 years ago. His teams have won a total of 6 playoff games, the last 11 years ago. You'd have a hard time finding another team GM with that kind of record that still has his job. Terry is what he is and always has been. The problem is Jim Pohlad doesn't care, if he did care there would have been a change a long time ago. Did he fire Bill Smith because of his record, no he got fired because he spent to much money. Say what you will about Smith but he went for it and tried to win. The 2010 team was probably the most talented Twins team ever. A year later he gets fired and the payroll is cut. That says everything.
  11. 100% agree with this. What's more important winning games or saves? Check your ego at the door and do what's best for the team.
  12. Kimbrel isn't a free agent until 2018 so we'd have him for 2+ years. I'd do that trade for Kepler. We have plenty of Of's at this point not much at the end of the bullpen. Kimbrel and Perkins in the 8th and 9th would be very nice the next two years, imo.
  13. First manager that takes out his starter wins, wait that would mean our bullpen, never mind.
  14. I see Plouffe is a fan of my work . Baby boy: Theodore Winston James Plouffe. Kind of hard keeping up with all the Twins trade rumors at this point.
  15. That shouldn't stop him from making the team better would it?
  16. Has Terry even traded any prospects in the Terry 2.0 era?
  17. Remember the good old days when people here would laugh and point fingers at how bad the White Sox were? They are now only 2.5 games behind the Twins. No need to be in a hurry to fix this team, is there?
  18. Once Nelson called it a strike there is no appeal, read the rule book.
  19. Lucky Terry had his head in the dumpster the last few innings.
  20. I just don't have any faith in TR at this point. When was the last time he made a good trade? Shannon Stewart, 10 years ago? Maybe May or Tommy Milone but those are iffy at this point and certainly aren't big impact trades.
  21. Certainly not going to get him without Duensing being included.
  22. Go for a package of Segura and Lecroy. Duensing plus whatever it takes. A post season chance is there, time to make use of the farm system when the chance is there. Position players that play every day will do more than a relief pitcher that might pitch once or twice a week, imo.
