Dinger, you can't even HANDLE how good the Twins are going to be this year! Are you a BELIEVER? If you're not, get out of our SCORCHING HOT Lounge.
-
Mickey! Welcome back to the show! These rumors are ALTERNATIVE facts... All of our merchandise is made personally by North. We need to give our friendly neighbors in Canada a bone every once in a while!
-
This is a true toss-up question! Our hard-core analytics person (the Intern) says it's going to be Buxton.... But we only believe in HAWT taeks here.... So Billy Joel it is!
-
Our first thought: Is Molly on something? On second thought, maybe he's onto something! Who needs Dozier, Polanco, or Escobar when DanSan is so VERSATILE. His speed alone gives cops the heebie-jeebies. And the fact he has so much GRIT to play anywhere on the field. 5 years, $55 million. Who says no first?

You came to the right guy, diehard... If I were you, I'd hang on to those shares until they pried them from my cold, dead hands! You're sitting on a GOLDMINE! According to our research, Minnesota Moonshine's demand is expected to triple when Jose Berrios starts the season in AAA. And that's only the beginning! Just imagine people clamoring for moonshine when Gimenez makes the team over JRM....
-
Looks like a pure money grab before his career is over IMO.
-
Welcome back to the show Denny! We hope that this thread isn't collecting dust, as there's always hawt taeks throughout the season... We have high hopes this season, and your twisted thoughts are much needed around here!
-
This is a pretty revolutionary take... One that we're COMPLETELY on board with. Just imagine the possibilities Mike... A batter could karate kick at the ball, do a 360 spin swing, or throw his bat at the ball! Any of those things has the potential to drive in runs! Molitor is not only the manager of the future, he may be the ambassador of future baseball!

Mike! You're back! Our show took some time off to reflect, and make sure we get back to our ROOTS. North informed us about a remote cabin available for rent off Lake Manitoba, where we could take time to prepare for the season of HAWT taeks. We wanted to show our listeners that we CARE, and we're here to win a championship, no matter what it takes.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AqS4aNi0HQY ANNND Welcome! To Season 3 of Minnesota Twins Whine Line. I am your host, Vanimal. Joining me for his 2nd full year, the Intern! We're shocked that Brock and the moderators let us continue this show... But, we now have a new studio! We're broadcasting LIVE from the brand new SCORCHING HOT Lounge, and looking for some HOT STUFF to talk about. It's Thursday, and I think the Twins play today? Either way, as we all know, it's #ThrowbackThursday... For those that have been with us since day 1, you may recall the original intern that we had to fire. It wasn't his fault; Bark used two different voices to get on the show twice. Now that time has passed, we decided to check in on our old friend and see how he's doing.... Intern: "Welcome to Subway. What can I make fresh for you today?" Van: "Yeah I'll take a.... WAIT A MINUTE. Intern?!" Intern: "Oh, hey Van.... Yeah I'm working here now. Since you fired me." Van: "Sorry bud. It hasn't been the same without your hot takes in the studio.... Do you have anything you want to say to the listeners?" Intern: "Yeah. Shoutout to Loosey who nearly died drinking radiator fluid thinking it was Twins Kool-Aid." Van: "Alright, we'll let him know. And keep up the good work. Who knows, maybe North has a job waiting for you in Canada!" Now let's get on with the show... We're waiting, SALIVATING, for your hot Twins takes and questions. Who's going to start off the season STRONG?

So Tebow is playing on the major league side of ST for the Mets, and let's just say it's not going well. He went 0-3 with 2 backwards Ks, grounded into a double play, got hit by a pitch, then was doubled off at 1st base. Red Sox manager John Farrell had this to say about Tebow: "There’s strength in (his) BP,’’ he said. “That’s the best I can tell you.”
-
The best LT available, arguably, appears to be off the board. Per Adam Schefter on Twitter: "Framework of Andrew Whitworth deal between Rams and @_SportsTrust: 3 years, $36M, $15M guar, including $2.5M guar in Year 2"
-
The hot rumor from Mike Florio is Kalil will sign with the Panthers so he can play with his brother. The Vikings need to strike while the iron is hot. Okung, Reiff, someone....

2017 Twins Minor League Storylines: Sixth-Year Guys
Vanimal46 replied to Seth Stohs's topic in Twins Daily Front Page News
Underwhelming list. I don't expect any of these players to be 40 man adds after this season. -
That's a good point. Still, I wouldn't expect more than 1 or 2 years of good production from Garcon. I would have kept the traditional back loaded deal and cut him when he was no longer productive.
-
Yeah I can't see Kalil agreeing to a contract we would hope for. Minimal guaranteed money off the bat.... and if he hits some goals, such as snaps played, performance things, then more guaranteed money can come into play.
-
Well, if you believe Ryan Boser's source, they're busy offering that kind of contract to Kalil.... Ugh.
-
I also really, really hope Ryan Boser is wrong. Per his Twitter: "Vikings have offered Matt Kalil 3/~$30M w/bonuses" That contract would make me physically ill.
-
The Lions picked up RT Ricky Wagner. One of the better options out there. Reportedly in the $9 MM per season range. Maybe that means Reiff is signing somewhere else?
-
Couple of notable-ish signings around the league. WR Brandon Marshall signs a 2 year $12 million deal with the Giants. He's 33 and still relevant. Nice little 1-2 punch for the Giants partnering him with OBJ. WR Pierre Garcon signs a deal with the 49ers. Reportedly he's getting $16 MM in the first year of the contract. He's 31. I can't recall him ever being that good? Certainly not $16 MM good.
-
This has been your favorite hot sports take all winter long.... You can't say with such authority that players don't care because they choose to play in the WBC. It's getting very old.
-
Agreed. He's also facing some of the best MLB talent at the WBC. I'll take him pitching against Manny Machado 3 times instead of Manny MayNotMakeIt any day.
-
It's considered a really thin pancake, right? If so, you're celebrating the day!
-
OPH was my favorite Saturday or Sunday morning breakfast stop after a night at the bars... 49'er Flapjacks always hit the spot.
