  1. Marching toward a pennant winning season......
  2. Yup.Crushing it. NOT! I absolutely hate this. First, I have to watch Colon. Now I have to watch Rodney. Absolutely hate it. And bye bye Burdi. Damn.
  3. Burdi, Reed, Stewart, Bard. Such high hopes. Now willing to throw away another #1 pick. Daley must not like them at all.
  4. May as well go after Colon again, and Sabathia.... And we can sport the heaviest starters, the Tonage Trio. It would surely be an inspiration to young hurler's on how to take care of onesself to pitch in the show.
  5. I guess if all pitchers pitch well................... with Pineda, I just hope he pitches, instead of hanging out with Phil Hughes season after season. I was really hoping the FO would go after truly above average pitchers. Depth is good. But that is all this is. I sure hope to see better deals in the future. This looks a lot like the old boss to me.... Nolasco, Pelfrey, Hughes.......... comebacks can happen..... sure they can. Sometimes for one season. Sometimes for more.... sometimes never. If he pitches well it won’t be a disappointment.
  6. This team needs both. The focus, I hope, is on both at the same time.
  7. Please, NO Rodney. I can't even stand watching him pitch for other teams. Colon, then Rodney? Say it will never be! Hopefully, this FO has totally different and better plans than Kintzler and Rodney.
  8. In the future...... voters may only have pitchers to select from with only around 200 wins at most...... The game is definitely changing. Yup. I think Morris belongs in the Hall of Fame.
  9. Most losses in the history of MLB 1 Cy Young - 316 2 Pud Galvin - 308 3 Nolan Ryan - 292 4 Walter Johnson - 279 5 Phil Niekro - 274 6 Gaylord Perry - 265 7 Don Sutton - 256 8 Jack Powell - 254 9 Eppa Rixey - 251 10 Bert Blyleven - 250 58 Jack Morris - 186 ...all in HOF except Jack Powell What a bunch of losers!
  10. Hey.... not exactly the same type of event, but it didn't stop Kirby Puckett.
  11. I like the alternate avenue. I think writers are often pompous and misguided, and for the Hall of Fame, often out of date, or in reverse of that, too new and not studied on the history of the game. Morris was, for a decade, a great pitcher/player/personality of the game. I am glad he is in the HOF.
  12. Kind of an empty threat with the opt out Stanton has..... and still has.
  13. It is interesting, that in the time since the Twins last played in a World Series.... that the Marlins have won two, and with, I think, two different owners, and each after a total clean out like this. And then they built the winner, spending huge. Seems Houston did something similar very recently. So I don't feel sorry for them. I would rather win a World Series once every ten years, be the fan of a team that is good for only 3 of those ten years, and is a real playoff team for 3 of them, and wins one, than watch a rebuild that never really happens for years but is always talked about. I wouldn't mind winning every year, either..... I am making my voodoo dolls of Yankees. I have an endless supply of needles, and other dastardly tools to inflict upon them in the coming season. As the injuries mount, remember you heard it here first.
  14. Crushing It? Well, OK. I you say so. I will be waiting to see if anything actually pans out until I anoint them as Crushers. So far, it is all still hope and dreams.
  15. People like to say this, but in the end, if players have tools, and are going to make it, they should also show up in the lowest levels of the farm system, and in performance and stats. Kohl Stewart had tools, and can't even get protected. Like I said, lots of luck to all.
  16. Wasn't it 5th and 10th for the previous teams? If a prospect is rated in the top ten on the Twins, I would consider that high. And apparently rated high by our FO for the FO to even acquire them. Unless the MO is just to fill space on the farm rosters. Am I really qualifying this simple statement?
  17. Two new prospects rated high but performing low already, in low levels of the farm world. Amazing 5 pages of comments can come out of this. Good luck to the prospects and the Twins. All three will need a lot of it for this one.
  18. Can't he be passed through waivers and assigned (if not claimed, and who would with his contract attached) to Rochester ? Let him prove he can help the club before innings are wasted on him?
  19. Interesting. None of these odds mean a thing to the guy making the decision. But Vegas is always looking for suckers to take some $ from.
