    Yoshii, What is their record again????
  2. Fanatic Jack
    We gave away Kevin Slowey for this guy. Just another terrible trade for the Twins.
  3. Fanatic Jack
    Guerra has no chance of ever being successful in the big leagues. He was hit hard in spring training by guys who are bagging groceries right now.

    This team is like a defective Viagra product. Mauer and Morneau both hurt again 22 games into the season. No clutch hitting, pitching staff a disaster, no leadership, coaching staff cluless. What a joke and we were told it would be better than 2011. Right now 2011 looks pretty good.

    Seth, I love my wife but would not want to watch her have an affair with another guy. This product is straight up embarrassing and the top level management does not even care. They just care about the money and fans were lied to about things getting better. Too many excuses and not enough results!!

    Nick, Your facts are about as accurate as Cliff Cleavin. You demanded Liriano be signed to a 3-year deal after the 2010 season. Do you still remember that or just choose to forget. Your right it's not Gardy's fault for losing 12 straight playoff games in a row, a 24-68 lifetime record vs the Yankees, or that he coddled his players so much last year people just asked to sit the bench. We have the worst manager and coaching staff in MLB and it's not even close. Liriano is screwed up because of them telling him to "pitch to contact." Why make changes when the team is losing? It's just a rebuilding year and fans should accept it. This makes a lot of sense and would never fly in NY, LA, Boston, or even Detroit. My last point is Gardy has coached the most talented players in Twins history since 2002 and has accomplished nothing. Sorry but a cheap divsion tiltle (worst division in MLB from 2002-2007) does not mean anything. The fans were promised a better product and you defend them because of a tough schedule. I have never heard Texas complain about their schedule.

    Sure glad we acquired the game changer Clete Thomas! Revere was thrown away by this team and for what another Plouffe. Thomas is not even as good as Plouffe. Joke....
  8. Fanatic Jack
    Why have a 2nd MRI? The ones on Baker and Zumaya worked out so well. Where is the accountablity Ryan promised? How about the middle infield being so much better?
  9. Fanatic Jack
    Mark Appel or Zimmer. We dont need another outfielder.
  10. Fanatic Jack
    I would keep Alex Burnett over Jeff Gray?
  11. Fanatic Jack
    The Twins continue to go out of their way to appease Denard Span. It's unreal Gardy is afraid to move him to right field and now his best friend Clete Thomas is brought in as our 4th outfielder. I really question why this is happening?
  12. Fanatic Jack
    We were promised more as fans when we helped Pohlad build his fortress of solitude called Target Field.
  13. Fanatic Jack
    I'm a 10 win, lose, or draw. However, I will cancel my season tickets after 2012 if manager Ron Gardenhire keeps his job. Name another market in MLB where Gardenhire would keep his job? Jim Leyland nearly won a World Series in 2007 and was on the hot seat until last year. Ozzie won it all in 2005 and was very good friends with the owner (Jerry Reinsdorf) and they did not retain him when his contract was up. Gardenhire can't beat any teams in the AL East or West, has lost 12 straight playoff games, and refuses to even make a coaching change. He also continues to make excuses for the team. Injuries last year and now great pitching. Give me a break! I ask you Seth, at what point does losing become acceptable???? Why is ok in Minnesota but not New York, Boston, Chicago, and St. Louis?
  14. Fanatic Jack
    Luckylager, You are so wrong. How many people over the years have said they want Gardy gone. Pretty much anybody at this point would bring fans in. ANYBODY!!!
  15. Fanatic Jack
    Cody, Thanks for the update. I love Dozier's makeup and think he will be a good clubhouse leader and player for the Twins.
  16. Fanatic Jack
    Very encouraging. I hope Wimmers moves up fast the Twins really need the help. Thanks for the update.
  17. Fanatic Jack
    We have heard for years that Gardenhire does more with less. The only problem is nobody is saying that anymore. Paul Molitor or Jake Mauer would sell tickets and give fans hope for the future. Gardy is so stubborn he won't even make a coaching change like Vavra or Scott Ulger (who has been given every job except bat boy) with the team. Change is needed and soon. NO Way Gardy makes it through season.

    Casilla

    Fanatic Jack commented on Coach J's blog entry in Blog Coach J

    No you are right Casilla is terrible and should be traded in July.
  19. Fanatic Jack
    Minn55441, Jamey Carroll booting the double play ball in the 7th inning did cost the Twins the game. Once the double was hit by Chris Iannetta and two more runs scored the game was over. What game were you watching???
  20. Fanatic Jack
    Let's hope Joe Vavra or Gardenhire never work with him or he will be ruined.
  21. Fanatic Jack
    Travis, I'm quite sure you could careless what I think. However, Sano and Rosario do look like the real deals. I'm not sold on Hicks at all and think Dozier should be much higher on your list. I do have more hope for prospects now than ever before. I sure hope we have a good draft.
  22. Fanatic Jack
    Travis, I was wrong to make the comment about you not supporting the Twins. You are a huge supporter and I do appreciate your optimisum. Just sick of watching this team fail miserably vs teams in the AL East year after year.
  23. Fanatic Jack
    Travis, I find your post funny and very predictable. Have you ever criticized the braintrust of this team? We were promised by President Dave St. Peter (who was on Twitter everyday in the winter and now is completely absent) things would be so much better. The team picked up right where they left off in 2011 and nothing has changed. The Pohlad family has promised for years to spend money and has never even come close since we the tax payers built Target Field for them. This team is a joke and we are living the 90's all over again. Why can't you stop being such a HOMER and realize what has taken place. We have been tricked again and finally fans are upset and have every right to be. You live in Texas and don't contribute anything to this regime. I paid $3,200.00 for this crap. You should be ashamed of yourself for always defending the greed of the front office. I pose this question to you. Name the last MLB team that lost 99 games, year 3 of a new ballpark, ranked 4th in attendence in MLB in 2011, had a 95% renewal rate, and cut payroll by $15 million. My guess is you will never find a professional organization that has done so. NEVER!! The Pohlad family is taken advantage of Twins fans by peddaling this horrible product out and telling us they will be competitive. Nothing has changed and even new players don't want to play hard for Gardenhire. I would love to be a door salesman and come to your house. You have bought this gimmick hook, line, and sinker.
  24. Fanatic Jack
    I got news for people who love Jamey Carroll. He can't hit!!!!!!!!
  25. Fanatic Jack
    This mess is not Ryan's fault. He has no control over the Pohlads being cheap and cutting $15 million from payroll. The team may be in love with Gardy but they will have to do something to sell tickets in July. Paul Molitor is a St. Paul native and will bring the fans in.
