all i am reading are baseless excuses for terry "b-but...he is elite" "b-but...he traded for liriano" "b-but...bill smith left him in bad shape" at the end of the day the twins have had 190 mil in payroll the past two seasons and in each of the last two seasons finished in dead last, results equal results, i am sure ryan is a great guy and at one point a good owner, but the game has clearly passed him up at this point, time for fresh direction!!!!
