    An outfielder with pop? But can't overshadow his defense? You are correct sir. There have never been any of those in MLB. . If Robbie Grossman can get a gig, Arcia will get a couple also.

    Two points. 1. Park is still here because if he gets sent down its an admission that this was not a great idea. I never saw the difference between ABW and Park. Huge hitters in inferior leagues with a ton of SO's. 2. If the FO and Molitor don't like demonstrative players they better get out of the Carribean. Baseball is played differently there. That's not bad, it's not good, it's different. And it ain't Twins Way compatible.

    TwinsWorld. Where raw energy and passion are considered inappropriate.

    If the player don't fit, the front office should (a)quit

    And when Sano comes back? Then what. They just keep running from the Sano/Park fiasco. And Rosario is starting to tear it up in AAA. Then what. Trade him, or Kepler so they can keep Plouffe? Polanco? Sink or swim, I hope Oswaldo gets a chance somewhere to settle in, he didn't here. And I think that is an underdiscussed aspect of the team. Players see things, they see some players treated as untouchable, no matter what they do, and others rested completely differently. They notice this. It's one of two things a manager can handle. The other is putting players in a position to succeed. Then it's up to the player. Nunez at SS regularly will be the next example of this!

    We don't have an Arcia problem anymore. I know they cannot keep everyone and Santana lends more flexibility. But that as positive as I can get. This FO just flits from move to move reacting almost entirely on injury based decisions. If you cannot see the perfectly placed platoon DH situation you had in front of you all year, a situation which would have helped Park assimilate and Arcia get AB against righties, what are you looking at. They bumbled onto Grossman and that flame is starting to cool. And as an OF he is minimally better than Arcia. With a far worse arm. And the Nunez pumpkin is next. While both performances were outliers, just think of the Twins offense when they stop hitting! Maybe the solo Park Bang every two weeks will carry them one last thought on Oswaldo. He is coming into 2015 expecting to be the RF, then finds out he is the LF has an ok start, gets hurt and Ryan jerks him around so we can parade a 40 yr old OF for the reminiscent demographic. No wonder he couldn't figure it out, they certainly can't.

    And apathy in the fan base is about the worst thing that can happen to a sports team.

    Catching up on TiVo bunting in the 4th inning WTF

    I have two daughters who think just like you. Sheesh I have spent entire winters in shorts T and sweatshirt. Windpants in an emergency. Cold is over rated!

    That was rumored for years, but if you carefully watch the show, you will see Lurch has both his hands, making your observation obviously impossible!

    She only visited Cleveland once! She told me it was to see the Rock and Roll HOF. Apparently it's where I was conceived? My dad convinced her he was a roadie for Elvis?

    It's true, my father is from Chicago. But just being in Chcago does not make you a Sox Fan. And my Mother was Minnesotan. I was born in Thief River Falls and my grandmother raised me in Dundas. That said, my father grew up in the Terry Ryan era, as my best selling autobiography "Screams of my Father" fully outlines!

    Where did you ever come up with an idiotic fairy tale like the above. This was a serious post, and for you to denigrate it by making up absurd fictional outcomes of what seems like a valid idea is not only preposterous, it's disrespectful to the initial poster. I demand a retraction and your resignation! Or I am going to expose you on Twitter!
  16. Platoon
    There's an old saying in sports, "It's a shame someone had to lose". Watching the Twins and Angels play you could simply change the word 'lose' to 'win'!

    Mothers Day: A day when dad takes the kids so mom can have some quality time alone. Fathers Day: A day when dad takes the kids, so he can spend some quality time with his children.

    I think it fair to say that Gomez Addams wife distracted more men than Gomez. Little know fact. Gomez Addams is the father of Carlos Gomez. Carlos developed his baseball abilities at a young age playing catch with Thing and his hair from Cousin It!

    Dollar Dog Days would be Monday through Saturday!

    Got up, finished the game on TiVo and browsed the GT. I could not believe how competitive it was! Oh, not the game, the GM. Intense discussions by learned academic (types) on how to spell in Canada, and the correct placement of the apostrophe. Game Thread, completely safe from Russian Hackers since 2013!
  22. Platoon
    True story! I even tried to remember which way, u chewed on me last time. but I was too damn lazy to Googal it!
  23. Platoon
    it took me too long to type it. I need to start using another finger

    In defense of ND, there likely is at least a ton of people. You take just ten of those oil field truck drivers, easy avg 200 lbs per. = 2000 lbs= 1 Ton. Unless they are Canadien drivers, you'd have to have one more large one, and add another n & e

    Next month they are having Montevideo Monday, Tower Tuesday, Watertown Wed. Thief River Thursday, and Fosston Friday. Weekends are reserved for celebrating momentous moments in Twins History.
