  1. So why is that usually the way? Because the FO won't stick it's neck out to make a change? Monetary? Incorrect talent assessment? In essence this formula leaves an underachieving healthy team intact indefinitely!
  2. Quick question, take out injuries and how many of the Twins youth would be playing regularly on the ML team? Replacing injured players with another player is not constructing a roster, it's plugging holes temporarily.
  3. I hate to mention Reusse on here, it drives people nuts, but yesterday he said the rumor ar the park is 20% discount if you renew season tickets in August?
  4. Good piece. And all basically relevant. The sad part, for me and I imagine quite a few others, is the hopeless feeling that virtually nothing significant will be done. Everything you have listed is valid and needed. But nothing in this owners or FO history allow optimism that any of the following will take place with enough impact to change the face of this team drastically: 1. Trading beloved vets. See Dozier, Suzuki, and add Nunez, Grossman, Escobar. Plouffe might be the exception, and if he doesn't go, the rest of your article is bird cage lining. 2. Eat contract money. The big three SP. And if things don't change, I would add Park. If that's the kind of hitting it takes to get to thirty solo HR's, I will pass thank you. 3. Introspection. I can look in the mirror everyday, and think I should get a haircut! I can tell my wife, "I need a haircut". I can even issue a press release. But until I go to the barber, my hair is still gonna be too long. The best the optimist in me can do is hope what you wrote happens. The pessimist in me thinks little will.
  5. My wife was in the room, she cares a bleep about football. I said hes gonna miss this kick. She said how do you know? I said it's the Vikings! That's what they do!
  6. Yes, and next week, er month, we will again! .
  7. My parents and all the neighbors got into homemade wine making years ago. They bought these kits with the bottles, and all you did was mix the ingredients. Neighbor Muriel couldn't understand why you would use a ballon on top of the bottle, so she tossed it and put a cork in the bottle. It's amazing how far wine and broken glass will fly! The Twins depression the last 6 years is like an alcoholic who has been at it for years, and just can't quit. The Vikings are more like, you go to the meetings for almost the whole year, and then suddenly you walk into a bar..............

  9. See, all you guys who wanted him to go to RF, take that! . Just to prove you wrong, I will do it again in July!
  10. We start with serial killers, and close with psychopaths!
  11. They said he has back issues. Last year he complained of not being able recover pitching every day in the pen, v 4 days off between starts.
  12. What are the odds you could have seen all of them? You should buy a lottery ticket!
  13. I keep waiting for him to turn back into a Pumpkin. Guys his age just don't change this drastically long term.
  14. Is it just me, or does Robbie's arm look a little light.
  15. I think it's a little extreme to throw yourself in the wash machine just to wash your dirty socks!
  16. It would always feel like the collar is is tugging to the left!
  17. We had a guy spend three days installing a bookkeeping program, just as he was to finally get it online he said "Whoops"! I asked if whoops was a technical term? He did not see the humor. It was the next week before it worked.
  18. 60% of my deliveries go to my neighbor to the east, the other 40% go to my neighbor to the west.
  19. Don't forget swamp land, pill mills, and extremely affordable health insurance. .
  20. And Canada only exists because of the furnace!
  21. That's always been the downside to being a serial killer. The abrupt end to your career. But on the plus side, you don't need to spend a lot of time on long range financial planning!
  22. Serial killers tend to try and keep things on the down low.
  23. I have never seen an alligator in trousers! I saw some in some very expensive loafers though!
  24. Would make a great Messin with Sasquatch bit!
