    I understand your point. Thanks for clarifying.

    It was a legitimate concern of whom to believe. If Joe Ryan said that Sonny wanted to stay in Minneapolis, and if Joe Ryan is to be believed, then there is your answer.

    It may be. I was always proud to have been named after them. I don'tknow if it is a southern thing, although my great grandfather (Senior),my grandfather (Junior), and my father ( who was the III) were all from Greensboro, NC. However I was born in Washington, DC. I was born and named while my father was overseas in WWII. I really think my mom and dad named me after my dad because they had realistic doubts that my dad would survive WWII. At any rate, I named my son Marshall and stopped the tradition. But I have a granddaughter named "Charlie", after my dad. I go by "David".

    As rare as a Twins' win has been since the All Star break, any Twins' win is huge and important to me.

    What is the address of this house?

    I did not see the indifference either. Maybe it was because I didn't turn my tv on.

    Another morning for a long walk on a quiet country road.

    I wonder what players Falvey passed on who had "higher upsides", and why? I know he won't tell us, but inquiring minds want to know.

    Good article Nick. Your argument is sound for signing Jenkins long term now. The Twins need another North Carolina player to enjoy North Carolina pork BBQ, sweet potato casserole, hushpuppies and some spicy collard greens cooked with bits of salty country ham. Fellow North Carolinians, Ryan Jeffers, Bailey Ober and Zebby Mathews are ready for the feast.

    I don't understand the hesitation in making prospects into relief pitchers. It should not mean that they will always remain relief pitchers. Remember Johan Santana? The Twins have plenty of "starting pitchers". Many are "prospects". Prospects would be cheap, available, immediate solutions to the Twins having decimated its relief corps. Plus it allows the prospects to audition and to show what they can do in tense major league situations.

    Matt...The Ship of Theseus ? I had to look it up. Wow. What a great analogy for what the Twins have done the past month. You always provide an opportunity for me to learn something new in your fantastic writing. Thank you.

    Fascinating article. Thanks Matthew and John.

    Nick, I am very sorry to say this, but I feel the same way that you expressed in your article. My long, solitary morning walks and my daily workouts, have helped me cope.

    Thanks David. You made me laugh out loud with your post.

    Dear Pohlad family: I hate to say this, but I have come to the conclusion that the Twins need to be torn down and start over. What the Twins have been doing, has not been working for many years. It all starts at the top. Thus, you owners are the problem. Your goal does not appear to be the same goal as we fans have, which is to win the World Series each and every year. Because if you had had that goal each year, then you have hired incompetent people to run this circus and/or to perform in this circus and/or have failed to provide the necessary funds to hire the correct circus acts. Either way you are to blame. If I were you, I would be humiliated, at best and embarrassed, at least. But maybe your goal is not the same as mine. Bottom line, you paid the money to take the risk, to buy the team and you are entitled to run a half-assed organization if you wish. But it is becoming more evident to me that it is not emotionally healthy for me to spend so much of my limited time left here on this beautiful earth watching this team on tv, going to spring training at Fort Myers every year and reading and posting these heart-felt, emotionally draining posts on Twins Daily. 70 years is a long time to have been a fan of this franchise, but as of today, I have had it. I must either change my goal of winning (which is hard for me to comprehend, much less to do), or change the team I have pulled for for 70 years. Most sincerely, Tarheel Twins Fan

    I like to walk along an old farm road near where I live in North Carolina. There are soy beans fields, hay fields and some woods. On my walks, I've encountered wild turkeys, deer, coyotes, red shoulder hawks, owls, turtles, snakes, mice, groundhogs, and numerous song birds. Today all I saw were several wooly worms scurrying across the road. The fluffy white clouds were beautiful against a "Carolina Blue" sky.

    Have fun at the game Chin. Drink a Killebrew Root Beer for me.

    I need to go for a long walk in the country. This is too depressing.

    Kalen needs to figure out how to adjust to whatever the AA pitchers have figured out about pitching to him. Can't do that by taking a break. Onward and upward.

    What a good "issue" to have.
