My optimism has a split personality.
I want them to win every game I watch, which is most of them but I want them to trade the Ryans so the team is probably better in the upcoming years. This team is not a serious contender for the world series even with the Ryans.
As my grandma used to say, 6 of 1 and a half dozen of the other. I can't have it both ways. Or can I?
Detroit, a couple of years back traded one of their starting pitchers and then went on a torrid win streak, maybe the Twins can catch the same lightening in a bottle? After all they have a much better record than I predicted at the beginning of the season.
