OldTimeTwinkie's Achievements

  1. I would argue that this season the opposing pitchers both starting and relief pitchers were much tougher than what we face last year. White Sox, KC, Detroit, Cleveland, St. Louis, Cincinnati all showed improved arms with a ton of power arms coming out of the bullpen. Pittsburgh is the only team that was not in that category. The hitting coach may not have been the problem.
  2. Must not be homeless people in Detroit, right.
  3. Just think how many homeless people could have been helped with all the public money used to build Target Field. Now would be a good time to use it as a homeless shelter. We dont need it for baseball anymore.
  4. They should just let the home team provide the feed for both teams and it solves all the problems. I think people would enjoy hearing the other broadcasters.
  5. Maybe we would have got a franchise maybe we wouldn't have one. Minneapolis was compared to Omaha until we got the Twins so it was significant to have a major league franchise in the 60's . The impact it had on the perception on the area influenced business development in the area including other sports.
  6. I will Reserve judgment on this taking down of the statue until I see how the twins historically recognize Calvin Griffiths Legacy because without Calvin the twins would not be here and if anyone is offended by going to a game because of Calvin Griffith those words will never change it came out of his mouth but the only reason the twins are here so that you can go to a game is because of calvin. so It will be very interesting to see if they totally ignore Calvin in the stadium or if they have a place of history and memorabilia recognizing Calvin.
  7. If baseball gets started by the middle of July I probably will be interested but if they wait till August I like most fans could care less probably once football starts
  8. What are the first baseman going to do when they have to keep social distancing when they have a man on first they can't visit with them anymore
  9. Don't forget how the Giants had looked at Minneapolis as a home before locating to California. The sign was located by hwy 100 and 12 close to the old Lincoln Dell restaurant out there.
  10. #1 Harmon Killebrew walk off vs yankees July 11 1965
  11. The Yankees have a huge advantage in the bullpen. We may have a nice bullpen but it is not a shutdown end of game bullpen that the Yankees have. With our starters we have there will be 4 innings to be covered. Taylor Rodgers is good but we don't have one let alone two other ones to shut down a playoff team.
  12. What if the Yankees destroy their next opponent then breeze through the world series. Would we view what happened to our TWINKIES differently? Food for thought.
  13. Don't kid yourself tonight this was no curse the Yankees are just that much better
  14. If you have Dish tv, they have removed fox sport channels. Grrrrrr
  15. TWINS!TWINS!
