  1. Do you think anyone in the organization expects to win? Players, front office...manager? Fans? Media? Losing culture.
  2. If they thought Hardy was good they wouldn't have traded him. If they thought Liriano was good they wouldn't have traded him. If they thought Florimon wasn't any good they wouldn't have handed him the starting SS gig out of spring training. The point..."the Twins are doing it, ergo its the correct decision" is an argument with little merit at best.
  3. What will be accomplished by getting rid of half the lieutenants but leaving the commander in place?
  4. There are lots of reasons the Twins are already at least a year overdue for a manager change...but the biggest is the losing culture that has crept like a cancer into the bones of the organization. Also...I reject the notion that just because someone was right for a job 10 years ago, they are still right for the job today. This org needs a shakeup. Talent alone won't do it, since it will enter in grips and drabs over time and simply conform to the losing culture in place.
  5. This was pretty easy to see coming...this article could have been written last year. So it's hard to have much sympathy, and it's hard to believe they'll do what is necessary to turn this ship around. And if they think Sano andBuxton will solve all their problems things are only going to get worse.
  6. Winnah!!1! //and a special one at that...the Twins have clinched a better record than 2013//
  7. He may be unelectable though, depending of course on which specific porn sites he was visiting.
  8. Expect an appearance by Glunn in 3, 2, 1...
  9. Meanwhile...7IP, 7H, 1R, 0BB, 8K for Gibby tonight. Imagine if he had a real catcher behind the plate.
  10. So you weren't really warm? It was just a story? I prolly shouldn't ask, but...In that case, what was the actual reason for being naked?
  11. If Dozierzee slumps next year, we know who to blame.
  12. You say that as if it's something of an unusual occurance.
  13. Pinto is killing poor Gibby tonight.
  14. This half inning is an explanation of "Minnie and Paul" and plenty of compliments to Target Field. They even knew the story of the flag pole from the old Met
  15. We're now discussing the 65 Twins team on the DBacks b'cast.
  16. I hope it works out for them, but my guess is they just drag Gary down to their level.
  17. I'm watching the DBacks b'cast. They're positively in love with Plouffesie.
  18. The rest might be true, but this isn't...I recommend the polar route. South, of course. You can shave a good 45 minutes off the trip, even with a stop at the pole for a selfie.
  19. I can give them a pass on the first, as if I remember correctly they had 2 doubleheader in two days. The second one not so much.
  20. If the Twins open 2015 with Gardy, and aren't immediately successful, I hope you're prepared for the conversation from every media outlet from TD to opposing team newspapers to MLBNetwork to be about the Twins managerial situation. That will be the discussion, pretty much every day, until the Twins are either forced to fire him, or defend those kinds of questions, about a lame duck manager, almost every day. That's not going to be pretty. I have difficulty imagining Gardy getting another contract...would you agree? If not, what's the point of going through that next year?
  21. I would prefer he work on rotation "topth" rather than depth. I don't think improving the options for fifth starter will have the impact that improving the options for opening day starter would. Although I do agree it's rather disheartening to see Swarzak getting more than one September start.
  22. my nomination for post of the year. Exceptionally well played sir.
  23. Florimon is no longer with the Twins, and Beresford has little or no trade value. Every team in the majors has a half dozen Beresfords.
  24. Parise?
