  1. I have had no hope but I will cling to the hope you are right.
  2. Fans in the stands on TV... Can I be Frank with you?
  3. If the same FO and management is in place does it mater at all what the lineup is or how much they spend.? The current organization has a poor record of developing prospects".. How can that change?
  4. Unfortunately we got the Job thing going big time.
  5. I started cheating on the Twins in June. Just once at first. It wasn't planned, it just happened. I felt guilty of course but once I opened that door... well you know. Eventually I felt guilty enough to have the difficult conversation with TC "I don't want to break up but I want to see other teams". It's actually been easier than I thought. It's been quite freeing to spend time with other teams that have something to give and not just take. Actually I grew up (60's) hating the Yankees and I choose the Twins as my team in 1961 because I tuned into a Twins / Indians game and the Twins were behind. It was then I decided I'm for the underdog. Recently I've been a little partial to the Red Sox because they have been in fight at times, but still somewhat of an underddog, and I like Fenway. In June I watched them take 2 of 3 in NY then the following week 3 or 3 against NYY at Fenway. This weekend they've taken 3 so far against the Yankees. It's been fun to watch a team win consistently. It's also fun to see them have bases loaded, no out and actually score multiple times. It's fun to see a team that isn't AA. It's fun to watch a manager that doesn't manage like a machine. It's been fun. I still tune into the Twins to see how bad the pitching is going to be. But I spend more time in the forum than watching the Twins. I just don't want to get to the point where lawyers are involved. Maybe we can still reconcile?
  6. The thing is even if one of these "prospects" actually turns into a MLB player they will soon reach arbitration eligibility and will be dumped for another "prospect" because the Twins don't want to pay the going rate.That's why we can't have good things.
  7. Ay, there's the rub. There's a difference between being a cheerleader and being a team player.
  8. Lewis may have talent but I don't see him ever being a mature baseball player. He seems to be stuck in 9 year old mode.
  9. For a team going to ridiculous lengths to save money they would never pay that kind of money in a guaranteed contract to a fired employee. Plus firing him would be admitting mistake. That will never happen.
  10. abhorrently abominable, in an abysmal way or is it abhorrently abdominal, in a pepto bismol way
  11. They don't even have percussions let along repercussions.
  12. I agree. I always thought that was a pipe dream. What I was looking for was new ownership getting rid of Falvey and Baldelli. Now there is no hope. I wouldn't call that handwringing though. And no one right now wants to be told to "get over it".
  13. That's what it all comes down to. They trade away talent for prospects when there is little prospect in seeing them develop into talented MLB players. There is no hope.
  14. My granddaughter just went to a local AAA game because it was Harry Potter night. I doubt she knew any of the names of the players. I think a lot of people at games, kids and adults, aren't paying a lot of attention. That's what the owners count on.
  15. Which means Baldelli and his spreadsheet will stay as well. I didn't care who owned the team and how much money they had to spend wasn't the most important thing. Changing the front office and the managers/couches was. I've already been transitioning some of my attention to other teams this season but it's hard to let go of my team that I chose in 1961 listening to the magic radio in my bed room.
  16. My favorite is the one where is arms are out in front like he's a seven year old in an arcade playing the game where you drive a car. He's gripping the wheel and making brrrrrrrr motor noises with his lips. He is the child on the team.
  17. Sorry. To error is human, to forgive is bovine.
  18. Udderly ridiculous. I have no mammary of ever seeing one.
  19. I've always thought if I don't like an article I should write my own, or move on to another article, or stop reading if they are that bad.
