    Yes, I had blocked all those walk off losses from the memory bank.
  2. theBOMisthebomb
    Yes, a 50 game season is better than nothing. That being said, 50 games reminds me of a weekend slow pitch beer bash softball tournament. Let's just play ball, at this point I would take a single elimination tournament that could be completed in 5 days.

    In Falvine We Trust. This type of scenario was supposed to be where the geniuses would shine so I am trusting they will make lemonade out of lemons.

    Interesting factoid, I had never heard of this. If he would have signed with the Twins then he wouldn't have changed the pronunciation of his last name to rhyme with the Heisman Trophy.

    It was a sneaky enjoyable season. Watching Dozier was a great experience and seeing the prospects finally start to make noise in the bigs was gratifying. 2016 provided hope for the future.
  6. theBOMisthebomb
    It will be catastrophic for both owners and players if they don't have a 2020 season. I feel the long term health of the MLB is at risk.
  7. theBOMisthebomb
    Well played, well played. I could see the Arraez and Buxton things if some weird things really happened. Sano, 0%.
  8. theBOMisthebomb
    Fun season, it sure felt great to get away from the end of the Gardy era doldrums.

    It's been a real eye opener to me as to the value of the fans in live attendance. I'd been under the false assumption for years that MLB could operate profitably without fans in the stands. The competitive balance issue is troubling to me as well. It is baffling why they can't have some semblance of sanity on this issue of the haves and have nots financially.

    MVP - La Tortuga As you said, let's have some fun with the SSS.
  11. theBOMisthebomb
    As much as I love Target Field and Twins baseball, the game day scenario you paint sounds as much fun as a kick in the crotch. You might be right and I will have to adjust to the 'new normal'.
  12. theBOMisthebomb
    I couldn't agree more. Hopefully, this is all just posturing and they cut a reasonable deal soon. It's all about greed and baseball is dancing close to a major PR disaster. I remember 1994 and how many friends and family that were casual fans said forget MLB. If they don't play a 2019 the negative reactions will dwarf what happened in 1994.

    As others have stated, I would be a wait and see type of approach. Although, when/if tickets went on sale would be when the rubber hit the road and if I could back the talk. I might purchase immediately and be there for that new opening day, I think there is a good chance I would just buy and attend.
  14. theBOMisthebomb
    That hurt.
  15. theBOMisthebomb
    Man, it feels good to talk Dome vs. Target Field instead of current events! The Dome is championships and Target Field is glorious outdoor baseball. Long term I will take the World Series titles, although a sunny Saturday afternoon at Target Field sounds like nirvana right about now. The original 2020 schedule had the Twins hosting the Angels for a four game series starting today.

    I didn't realize this season was the swan song for so many Twins. This was such an ugly period of sustained Twins losing. The losing of the 90s didn't seem to sting so much, maybe because the memory of 1991 was recent.
  17. theBOMisthebomb
    No. That is not it at all. You have the right to that opinion. I don't agree as I can remember the 1970s and how society still treated people then. The offensive language still used and accepted, and the unfair treatment. Things have gotten better for minorities, disabled, special needs, LGTBQ, etc. in the last 55 years. I disagree with your attack on white people. I firmly believe you would consider my family and me part of "White America" that you feel is preventing change when nothing could be further from the truth. I want to thank TFRazor for the post which does a great job of making points I agree with on what has really changed in 55 years and "subconscious racism".

    This was over the line and offensive. I have been telling myself for 24 hours not to respond to this thread. For my own reasons. I have been reading, trying to respect and understand the various perspectives expressed. I cannot do the same for these words.
  19. theBOMisthebomb
    Yes, just a terrible season from the get-go. My only lasting memory is thinking that Gardy should get fired after the September collapse. Little did I know how wrong I'd be.
  20. theBOMisthebomb
    I just remember how darn difficult and expensive it seemed to get tickets in 2010. I remember walking into the Twins pro shop in Apple Valley and it was packed with people (10 years before social distancing, a scene like that seems so odd now). Finally getting my chance to buy some tickets, I simply spent my entire budget that day because demand was so crazy. Fun season,Tarvet Field turned out to be worth it. I went to 2 or 3 games that April and just remember the thrill of outdoor baseball and the buzz of the excited Twins fans.
  21. theBOMisthebomb
    Jeepers, $400 per week is $10 per hour. Even after all that has happened, the owners should pay this for Pete's sake. The business of baseball is broken, as it always has been.
  22. theBOMisthebomb
    My knee jerk reaction was a solid no for Torii. You spun a good case so i looked at JAWS, where Torii is at 34, right behind guys like Curtis Granderson, Ellis Burks, Devon White, and Brett Butler. Hall of Very Good may be more appropriate.
  23. theBOMisthebomb
    Or, the Twins now get Rich Hill from opening day (the Strib recently projected a mid-July return), Maeda won't wear down and get sent to the bullpen, and Graterol will essentially lose a year of development.
  24. theBOMisthebomb
    The amount and frequency of the strikeouts is sickening. Yes, it will eventually catch up to Sano, good work on the Prince Fielder comp. One of the baseball principles I grew up with was that you cannot get a hit if you don't put the ball in play.
  25. theBOMisthebomb
    Right. That would be the same as the Timberwolves franchise celebrating Minneapolis Lakers greats and those titles. It is silly since the Lakers still exist. Or, even sillier, the Mets honoring the Brooklyn Dodgers and New York Giants history.
