    I recommend the Twins take the next Johan Santana-type success story.

    Trade an outfielder for pitching. I am too high on Buxton and Kepler so what could the Twins get with Eddie Rosario as the crown jewel of a package?

    The work they do is a tough job and thankless most of the time (unless a great guy like Bonnes goes out of his way to thank them). These moderators are on top of things and it is appreciated to come to a safe place and not get butchered by trolls. Although, they did delete one of my posts where I called Dick Bremer, "a bore, a hack and an annoying homer." I thought that was a bit strict and taken in context my comments were appropriate. Oh wait, don't remove this quote of my deleted post.

    Well, I have lived in small towns in Minnesota over the years and have family that still do live in small towns, so I know of what you speak. It doesn't "matter" to me, I was just stating my opinion, and going to WCCO is a downgrade for the majority of people.

    Hughes is similar to the food storage we have in our basement. We own it, it's ours, we hope not to have to use although in a way we are obligated not to let it go to waste. Maybe Hughes can contribute in 2018-2019. The Twins have nothing to lose. Is he is any way a trade prospect?

    Since at least 60% of the state lives in the "cities" as you call it, it seems it would make sense to me to have a station that is based in the "cities" and doesn't sound like it was from two generations ago as the flagship of the MLB team. Well, if it helps people not from the "cities" to listen to the Twins on their transitor radios that is peachy keen by me. I am a "cities" person I guess, although I don't live in Minneapolis or St. Paul. I use technology from this century, like the internet, and the FSGO app, etc. so I am not the target audience for WCCO listeners.

    You are right about the Vikings. Favre across the body did it for me - I could no longer give my heart and soul to that cursed franchise and had to cash in the 10+ year season tickets. It isn't worth the agony and the elevated blood pressue. I am much happier being a dedicated fan that realizes the Vikings will never win the big one until they actuall prove the can win it - and until then I will jump on the bandwagon when appropriate and not get emotionally invested in them. As for college football, North Dakota is not relevant because they win the JV championship. They just aren't relevant no matter how many JV titles they win and how many guys they send to the NFL. Play with the big boys and start winning there and then you will be relevant. Until then, nobody outside of North Dakota really cares.

    The increase in strikeouts is sickening. That being said, I had not thought of it in terms of the Twins pitching staff recording more strikeouts. Let's start sending more batters to the pine after three strikes. Is this officially the end of the 'pitch to contact' era and that Twins Way?
  9. theBOMisthebomb
    I guess going back to 'CCO is a good thing for the market they are targeting. I still have nightmarish flashbacks at having to listen to 'CCO in the car as a boy in the early 1980s and that "WCCO" jingle makes me break into cold sweats. To each his own, though. As for me, I cannot stand that AM static and background buzz.
  10. theBOMisthebomb
    Bunting is cool and always will be. The focus should be on the alarming amount of strikeouts in today's game.
  11. theBOMisthebomb
    This Thanksgiving I am thankful that Falvine could not trade Dozier. Twins fans are blessed to watch him daily. Now, sign Doz to an extension.
  12. theBOMisthebomb
    Santana should make it. Does he have the "it" factor to capture the voters' attention? That lost Cy Young to Bartolo might really hurt.
  13. theBOMisthebomb
    Why not Little Nicky Punto (LNP)?
  14. theBOMisthebomb
    Maybe it's because it is so fresh in my mind.. Buxton's 2017 soars a mile high over Gomez and Hunter's strong seasons. Not sure about Koskie's season - I do recall thinking he was an underrated magician at 3rd base.
  15. theBOMisthebomb
    The Twins will beat the Yankees in the wild card game tonight. Then, give Cleveland a run in the ALDS. That's all I have. This generation of Twins feels different. Winners. No Yankees baggage.
  16. theBOMisthebomb
    Word to your Mother!
  17. theBOMisthebomb
    Yeah sure, I guess why not right? It just seems like such a mediocre accomplishment in the grand scheme of things and big picture the Twins should have their sights on a World Series title in the next few years. I go back to the NBA and NHL - the Warriors aren't celebrating by popping champagne when they knock off the #8 seed in the first round, are they?
  18. theBOMisthebomb
    Hey, if the Twins batters catch fire in the playoffs and a couple of the pitchers do the same and supporting guys step up... just saying the Twins could give some teams trouble in a short series. They play the games for a reason and this season has been enjoyable. Hopefully, we will look back at 2017 as the year it all started and this franchise goes on a run of championship contention and titles for 5-10 years. Because, boy does this town deserve it...
  19. theBOMisthebomb
    My friend insists the Twins are going to pop champagne and celebrate when/if they clinch the second wild card spot. This seems ridiculous to a sane person, celebrating locking up the #5 playoff spot. I am fairly certain the Houston Rockets or whatever middle of the road lame NBA team isn't popping the bubbly when they secure their first round spot in the NBA playoffs. Will our Twins really celebrate such a minor accomplishment in this fashion? The memory bank does not go back to 2010 for such trivial matters.
  20. theBOMisthebomb
    Agree with you 100 percent. If we leave Colon out of the rotation there is no reason to have him on the roster as he is not a bullpen option.
  21. theBOMisthebomb
    Go Twins! I will be at the game tonight so let's skunk these clowns!
  22. theBOMisthebomb
    "Lighten up, Francis."
  23. theBOMisthebomb
    If Joe's numbers continue to trend positively 2017 and beyond, hopefully the voters will take the statistically weak 'concussion years' into consideration as down statistical years and not hold those years against Joe. Some postseason success and maybe hoisting a World Series trophy woud also be an intangible help to Joe's HOF case.
  24. theBOMisthebomb
    Santana. 100% Santana. Colon in game 1 of the ALDS if you advance. Leave Berrios as the #3 choice simply because he is so young. There are enough off days in the postseason to move everyone up a slot if need be.
  25. theBOMisthebomb
    Go Twins go! Let us tWIN.
