  1. http://twinsdaily.com/topic/16336-article-twins-extend-phil-hughes/?hl=%2Btwins+%2Bextend+%2Bhughes Here's the thread accompanying the announcement. Short synopsis: near universal approval from TD posters. Glowing praise, even.
  2. Looks like an outfielder, to me.
  3. 'cause they have those...long pause.
  4. I bet the two soft tossing lefties would have.
  5. I'm worried the next time the Twins win, he might be back in a presidential race.
  6. Try the "quote" button on the bottom right. Then start typing.
  7. Interesting question. Myself, I've never spent even half that.
  8. To be fair, they had to make that decision incredibly fast, like within 2 years.
  9. Better use of $58M: Extend Phil Hughes? or Incredible weekend in Vegas, and I mean IN-F'ing-CREDIBLE weekend? Discuss.
  10. The ball off Canseco's head for a HR is at least silver, IMO.
  11. They just need to go 7-3, 7-3, 7-3, and 7-3 over the next quarter of the season. That'll get 'em back to .500 Then 7-3, 7-3, 7-3, and 7-3 over the quarter after that, and they're solidly in contention for the ALC.
  12. Gladden: "Twins in the midst of a little bit of a skid...lost their last six and 9 of their last 10." What would a medium sized skid look like, Danny?
  13. Nice job, BK! And just so's everyone knows...BK did this while on the 15 day DL. Way to tough it out, BK. Take one for the team. Gut check time. Come up big in the clutch, Kirk Gibson-style.
  14. My bad, I misunderstood. I'd prefer a combination of the two styles. The Cubs didn't get where they are by rebuilding solely through the minor leagues, for example. They brought in some front line external talent as well.
  15. Thank god they don't. They might be on the way to 550 losses over 6 years if they did.
  16. If "stay the course" is the goal, then there is no point in making ANY change. Just stay the course, because no change in philosophy or execution is necessary. Personally, I hope if there is a change, the new guy tries to win sooner than later.
  17. I really, really think this organization needs new blood. A fresh perspective. Someone who will look at every single thing without existing bias. Consistency is a good thing, but like any good thing, it can and sometimes does become a liability when taken to extremes.
  18. Serious question: do you know when, exactly? Have a reference? I know I remember there being a penalty for selling the club, but I can't remember the details.
  19. Last year was also something of a fluke in that 83 wins kept them in it until the last weekend of the season. I don't think that will be the norm, even with 2 WCs now.
