  1. So...Bert is just sort of on vacation?
  2. I'm sure this has been asked a million times but since I'm not always on here, where has Bert been? Is he just not going to do games anymore? Seems like he's missed three weeks. That's an awful long time when the season is 6 months.
  3. Haha exactly what I was going for. I live in PA so I hear that nonsense all the time. Back to back! And a belly to belly! Barf
  4. Miguel sano...a dontcha know?
  5. I have to be honest, I did not see the twins imploding like this. Not to say I thought they'd qualify for the postseason, but this is bad. Very bad. Gardy is probably loving it.
  6. I want to get behind the blue jays for the postseason...but I feel like their fans are sort of douchey.
  7. The future is so bright I need....a flashlight?
  8. Losing a prospect for a short term player is only worth it if that player helps you win a championship. With the addition of the second wild card, you're not even guaranteed a 5 game series, let alone a pennant. It's just not worth it. We don't match up well with any playoff contender in the AL, moves or no moves.
  9. I was thinking "the gin blossoms". Just because.
  10. And the twins sink to 11 games under .500 in months that don't begin with M and end in Y. If a band put out 1 good album out of 5, what would you call them?
  11. If they are weak minded enough to go into a tailspin because the team didn't mortgage its future to get a short term guy or two, then too bad. We keep hearing about the future and that may pan out or not, but if there is a plan for the future, then it needs to be adhered too. Honestly, where would this team go in the postseason with not one consistently reliable SP or reliever?
  12. I don't buy that. They had their best week since May the final 7 games before the ASB. They abused Detroit after that big comeback win at TF. Then they came back from the break and easily trounced the A's. They were one measly out from a huge comeback win the next night, but that's when perk decided to blow his first save. Then there was the blow out loss the next day and a series in LA where they got one big hit that won them a game, but otherwise they were handled with ease. Then we know how the Yankees series unfolded and it all went downhill from there. Bottom line is, this team needed more help than they ever could have possibly gotten without really losing prospects, and for a team not really ready to compete "for the entire season", I'm glad they made no serious moves. For what? To be bounced immediately in the playoffs? The team has been scuffling for about 60 games, and the 30 games before May. They played at over their heads and now have zero confidence. Doesn't have much to do with moves made or not mad IMO.
  13. At what point do you start to wonder about the actual brightness of the twins future? You have to expect that once "the book gets out" on our young guys, their numbers will regress and so far whatever character we thought the club had when they were throwing their gloves on the field and winning every night seems to be non-existent. There really hasn't been one "great" starter all year for the twins...the bullpen has been dreadful for months and the only solid guy we had now has the yips. The jury is still out on Molitor too. Right now, we have no catcher, a 22 million dollar first baseman not nearly producing enough, a platoon at short stop, an up and down 3B, a 40 year old RF and an offense that can't do squat. Have to wonder about the future as much as the present.
  14. I think Erik Estrada would have two hit the twins tonight. Pathetic.
  15. I feel like I'm watching one of my former relationships wither right before my eyes. You know it's over but you keep showing up. Less crying though.
  16. He didn't do anything to stop it.
  17. LaTroy Hawkins pitched in the bigs 6 years before 9/11. Let that sink in to your skull.
  18. No, you're thinking of "dance party coordinator"
  19. I just saw on twitter that the twins are 0-15 with the bases loaded since july 17. Please tell me that isn't true.
  20. That should have been strike 3 for boyer. And a horrendous throw from LF to boot.
  21. I'm sorry to say, but there aren't enough David Prices or Carlos Gomezes in the league to make the twins anything more than a mediocre club for 2015. The twins would embarrass themselves in the playoffs, assuming they even made it past the wild card game.
  22. The fact that there is not one, but two teams in the year 2015 still playing on artificial turf makes me sad.
  23. I forgot the twins had an early game today. Apparently they did too. These last two months can't go by quickly enough. Hopefully they can finish near .500 but that would require someone, anyone, to be a leader and at least galvanize the team to have an inspired performance here and there. It's been a sleep walk for months now.
  24. 43 days until Vikings opening game.
