    Good, sound psychology DJL. It is my opinion that no one wants to win more badly than the players, manager, coaches and staff. We fans can simply chose to not go to the games, leave early or turn off the tv, Being a fan is much easier, than being a player.

    Lopez and Ober, and pray for October.

    Has Rocco told Lewis not to run out grounders or pop ups in order to not risk injury?

    Maybe it is the climate change in Seattle !

    I am proud to have been a Washington Senators fan as a boy, who was born in Washington, DC in 1944, while my father was in the army overseas in WWII. My mother had moved in with her parents in Washington, DC until my father came home from the war. When he returned, I was 9 months old. My grandparents remained in D.C. when my parents and I moved to Statesville, North Carolina, when I was 4. I still live in Statesville. I was the only person in my school who was a Washington Senators fan. "First in war, first in peace, and last in the American league." I was teased by the Yankee and Dodger fans. Later, my grandparents moved to Statesville, NC, where we lived. I could keep up with the Washington Senators because my grandfather still subscribed to the Washington Post. Later, when the Senators moved to Minnesota, I was sad, but I still pulled for my franchise. My favorite players, Camilo Pascual and Pedro Ramos, Harmon Killebrew (who had played in Charlotte) and Bob Allison, were now Twins and so was I. Charlotte was 45 miles from my home and Charlotte was a Senators/Twins farm team, so I could keep up with the Twins prospects through the Charlotte Observer and some baseball games from time to time. Washington was the closest major league city to my home town in Statesville, N.C. But I have come to love Minnesota and the fans . In 1987 and again in 1988 I came to Minnesota to visit my friend, Mark Davidson, from Statesville, who was playing for the Twins then. I had an amazing time and loved Minnesota in July. I have pulled for this franchise over 70 years and feel it is appropriate that the current Twins fans honor the history of this great franchise by publicly recognizing its origins. Long live the Senators/Nationals/Twins.

    Twins need some more catching prospects.

    Great article. Thanks Jamie.

    No.

    I don't think Blewett will blow it.

    Vazquez needs to have his defensive time maximized and his offensive time minimized. Jeffers cannot play in every game as either a starter one day and then a late inning offensive/defensive substitute for Vazquez the next day.

    I do understand your point Whitey, but I still enjoy the numerous excellent TD articles about the Twins' prospects. After all, every player on every major league roster was once just a suspect/prospect. Just like in life, the journey is what's important.
  14. tarheeltwinsfan
    My feelings exactly. Thanks for your post wabene! It was excellent.

    Great article Mathew. Totally got me fired up for today's game. Today's game is truly "the most important game of the year". As will be tomorrow's game, tomorrow, and the next day's game, and the next. It is why it is called "the present".
  16. tarheeltwinsfan
    Interesting article. Hopefully there will be no need for injury call-ups...but if mice had wings they could fly.
  17. tarheeltwinsfan
    The most important game of the year is the one today, Just beat the White Sox today. One game at a time.
  18. tarheeltwinsfan
    Joey Gallo has earned over $38,000,000 but his SO percentage is "only" 38%.
  19. tarheeltwinsfan
    Now that Jenkins has been promoted, maybe the Twins could get Blake Snell for the Ft. Myers Mussels' team.
  20. tarheeltwinsfan
    Seller's remorse.
  21. tarheeltwinsfan
    Trade Julien. I have given up on his becoming an average ML 2nd baseman.
  22. tarheeltwinsfan
    Great article Seth. Interesting summaries. I really enjoyed catching up with these prospects. Thank you.
  23. tarheeltwinsfan
    Great article John. Very timely. Thank you.
  24. tarheeltwinsfan
    I would rank the 2 North Carolina players one and two. But then I may be a bit biased, since I live in North Carolina.
  25. tarheeltwinsfan
    It will be nice to have a third North Carolinian (Mathews) on the Twins (Ober and Jeffers are the other 2), with the #1 Twins prospect (Jenkins) also being a North Carolinian.
