    It’s our last night in the BWCA woods. Listening to the game again in the boat today. Caught a bunch of fish...frying up some fresh walleye tonight for dinner. Will pour some more bourbon, thank the good Lord for our bounty and the WELY “end of the road” radio station. I’m half tempted to stay up here until the winning streak ends. Don’t want to jinx anything. Guess I’ll stay in the woods til October. Please send donations to PO Box: 1987-1991 Ely, MN 55114 Go Twins and cheers from somewhere near the Canadian border.

    I always knew this team was going to be great this year. I bet $1500 on the Twins to win ALCS back in December. Begged and pleaded for Perez signing and Cruz. Screamed for an extension for Kepler and Polanco...drafted Buxton, Odorizzi and Garver for fantasy league. Foresaw Rocco playing the shift in ways only actuaries could understand. Sorry...got lost in the camp fire. I might need to slow down on the bourbon...Loons won’t stop screaming. Camp finally dried out. Twins won too. Ecstasy!

    This article was fantastic. Laughed out loud! Thanks for contributing Stu! If Twins lose 3 in a row, please put me in a straight jacket and throw me into padded cell until mid November.

    I’m currently holed up in a camp site in the Boundary Waters 10 miles from Canada holding my phone towards the NE to get a good signal. I listened to the game today on an old radio in my boat. The Twins would hit a homer and I’d catch a walleye. The Twins would hit another and my son wound catch a walleye...what an amazing team! Wait til Cruz and Garver come back! I’ll be over my walleye limit. I have tears in my eyes... Seriously friends, this is the best offensive Twins team I’ve ever seen and I’ve been a fan for 35 years. The pitching ain’t bad either... Gotta go now, fire needs another log. 40 degrees tonight.

    It's early training for October.

    I love this! Hilarious. Thank you.

    The Twins should have won Friday night...Bases loaded two times and nothing, errors, etc. Not a good showing and we beat ourselves. Today's game illustrates how we can play with anyone, especially after beating up on Houston. This team is for real. They will contend barring the usual pitfalls: Injuries, pitching, blah, blah, blah... This lineup is scary good. If Sano produces you'll wish you'd bought the Vegas Sport Book for Twins as ALCS Champs and WS Champs.

    World Series Champs too!

    Reminds me of 87 Twins...

    Perez 2019 results: 20-9 Seems like a good year.

    Having fun and making money is always a recipe for success.

    Hey Yankees.....Here come the Minnesota Twins BOMBERS! Your ballpark is for wimps. Anyone with a 230 foot fly ball to RF with a light NE wind can hit homers there.

    This team has been fun to watch!! They've got the right chemistry going. Wins like these build up a ton of confidence for the players. I think we are in for a fun season... Go Twins!

    Barring injury this team only gets better as the season progresses. We should actually have two more wins than we do solely based on poor managing (which is expected early on in Rocco's tenure). Get ready for a run people. After what we've been through the last 8 years or so, this is going to be fun.

    Duffy can help throw batting practice. He grooves them in there nice and steady.
  16. twinssporto
    Tom - Thanks for doing these recaps!!! They are greatly appreciated.

    I did not like seeing Pressly leave the Twins. However, I did read Patrick Reusse's article this morning in the StarTrib and it made me feel a little bit better about watching Pressly go.

    Risk vs. Reward - A one or two year signing doesn't seem to be a huge risk. You get a HISTORICALLY reliable pitcher that can give you a lot of innings and some consistency. The potential payback for the Twins after two years looks to me like more risk than they need to take. I would prefer they stick with and nurture the young arms.

    The whole spring training experience is great! I've been fortunate over the last 15-20 years to make it there on a somewhat regular basis. Most of the time the players are very accommodating (especially if you have kids with you). Most will stop and talk or sign autographs. I remember about 8-9 years ago Joe Nathan coming back to the locker room from one of the back fields later in the day. My wife and 3 kids were standing near the gate John mentioned in his post. Joe stopped and signed everyone's ball and took photos with all my kids. We stood there and talked about the upcoming season for about 5 minutes. We've had similar stories with Mauer, T.K., Molitor, etc. I flew down to Tampa for work this week and was supposed to fly home tomorrow. After reading John's post it gave me the inspiration to head to Ft. Myers on Thursday and Friday instead of heading home...the 8+ inches of snow starting tonight through tomorrow helped sway the decision too. My wife will not be happy (prayers for her understanding are appreciated).

    Nothing to see here. Move along...
  21. twinssporto
    I agree with this too. Unless there was some lights out FA reliever still sitting out there use your home grown arms to build the pen. Cycle the guys in the minors through the system and see what sticks. A lot of teams find gems like that all the time.

    Thanks Seth! Great stuff!!
  23. twinssporto
    I like it. Almost the same age Tom Kelly was when he took over. Young manager with young talent. Good combo in my opinion. Yo Adrianne! Your husband Rocco just landed a managers job in Minnesota!
  24. twinssporto
    I miss Kirby...I miss the chemistry of those 1980"s Twins... The current team needs to build some chemistry and a clubhouse. That's what we need in a new manager and players.
  25. twinssporto
    The batting averages between Kepler and Buxton seem somewhat close to each other...220-240. Might as well keep them both and see what happens this year. "220, 221 whatever it takes...." Mr. Mom reference circa 1983?
