  1. That Tropicana nightmare has always made the Metrodome look positively pastoral. What a sheer sterile nightmare, and practically empty even with winning teams there. Plus it's in the Tampa area, no reason at all to go there, unless it's for strawberries.
  2. So, not signed. Welp, there goes the pennant, then, ya.
  3. And dang, it looks like the Keoni Cavaco Era gets pushed back another year, too.
  4. Hmmm..... I seem to remember a squeezably soft power hitter that just wouldn't conform to TK's "go the other way" approach. I think he moved on to the Red Sox and did OK after that... 🤔
  5. Get. Him. Now.
  6. Paddack, Mahle, and now DeCaf. Ffs, Falvine... Every box score I see with Encarnacion-Strand and Steer, (and soon Chase Petty) I gnash my molars to stubs.
  7. I'd be down with old Central foes Lorenzen or Clevinger- think they might have some extra incentive vs their old clubs? Although, I'm also down with Bauer.
  8. Hammys get trickier as the years go by. Come back too soon, and it's a long time out.
  9. And the mighty toothpick, from the Royals glory days-- He always seemed to come up big against the Twinks. Sad to see him go.
  10. A lot of great candidates for this prestigious award! But my pick, with one of the great all-time baseball names, is young Willie Joe Garry Jr!
  11. No, just, no. Too high a price for "Buxton insurance." Me no like.
  12. Did we do something wrong? Why would this be imposed on the Twins? It's like your dentist calling and telling you, "Congrats! You're a finalist for a root canal!"
  13. Sucked losing Damian Miller to AZ. But then, there was this Mauer guy who came along... The real tragedy is that we never got to see the Jayhawk Owens Era in Minnesota.
  14. I've always liked his abililty and potential. Hopefully he can keep from p*ssing anybody off in the bars of Ft. Meyers this spring.
  15. '65 was the first Twins team I was aware of, my first baseball memory, there in Mrs. Loerch's 1st grade class on the ND plains. Aren't those kid memories great, in the sense that, well, we didn't win this one, but we'll get the next one and the one after that.... Heh... It's tight, but I gotta go with 65 as the top. 69 probably second, and 67 and 70 right there as well. And then.... well, 77 was a blip in a long, flat line, but we started cranking up again in 84, and you could see it coming. There's my synopsis of the early years. It might be coloured by the mist of sweet memory, but keep in mind, that 1965 was also the year the Yankees began to SUCK, BIG TIME, and for a long time, (until Reggie came along). So there's that, too.
  16. Will The Twins Get Their Postseason SP? No.
  17. Wow! An athletic prepster! With any luck, he could turn out to be another Keoni Cavaco! 👍
  18. As a boomer-era relic, this is entirely confusing for me. I saw this on Espn this morning (HK time), and still didn't understand what it all meant- this was the telling paragraph in their report: Espn report- amazon deal "What about MLB in 2024 and beyond? An attorney for Diamond asserted in bankruptcy court that the company will broadcast all the games and honor all the rights fees for nine of the teams in its portfolio: the Tigers, Marlins, Royals, Brewers, Rays, St. Louis Cardinals, Cincinnati Reds, Los Angeles Angels and Atlanta Braves. There are three others, the attorney said, in talks about restructured contracts. The names weren't disclosed, but those three, according to sources, are the Texas Rangers, Cleveland Guardians and Minnesota Twins (the Twins are essentially a free agent; their contract with Diamond expired at the end of the 2023 season)." I still don't know what it all means for the Twins. All I do know is, I've had mlb.tv for many years, and I'm pissed off when they decide to broadcast on Apple and I can't watch what I've already paid for.
  19. Any Frankenstein movie would tell you that. One turn of the screw and everything's fine! 😂
  20. I just came across this today as background while marking papers.... Interesting concept- do you think it would include propects, too, or straight up?
  21. Clevinger is still out there, ain't he? I wouldn't be opposed to taking a flyer on Trevor Bauer either. Make the Twinks the Mlb answer to the old Oakland Raiders.
