  • Biography
    Twins fan since Tony O was trying to play OF on gimpy knees, Carew played 2B, and Blyleven was the young star pitcher.

    Retired from the Air Force after 24 years.

    Grew up halfway between NY and Boston - Yankee fans are much more obnoxious than Red Sox fans. At least they were - that whole "Red Sox Nation" garbage that everyone else has borrowed might have helped tip the balance.

    We were starting to see shades of that in the Buxton at-bat.

    Only if we are officially tanking, which I thought we weren't (for now.)

    There's always a bit of truth in all good satire. Just usually not that much of it. I bet he did more than that. He was probably on the road for 30 minutes before he decided he'd like to keep getting a paycheck. Plus the answer to the question "Do I want to drive through SD and Wyoming or Iowa and Nebraska" was a resounding "neither." (OK, the was probably in Florida with the team, but I-10 through west Texas will convince you to turn around, too. )

    Yeah, finally some words that fit yet won't get us banned from the site.

    I'm torn on this. The return could be high, but teams that don't have any good starters tend to turn into a meat grinder for arms. There are only so many pitchers you can keep on the staff, and if you have a bunch of guys who routinely use 90 pitches to get through 3-1/3 innings, it just destroys everybody. It's hard to develop when you are just trying to survive.

    When the 2023 uniforms came out, I didn't like them. They grew on me, and I came to appreciate the simplicity. I have always liked the navy blue with Twins as opposed to Minnesota, and script as opposed to block letters. I'm glad we have that option back. These also look like a bit darker shade, so we might not need a second look to tell them apart from Cleveland alternates. I will have to see the whole uniform on a field, but I think I'm really going to like these.

    Their minor league lines are both not very good. Of course, Henriquez is 4 years younger than Kowar and has 1 great year preceded by two decent months at the major league level. Kowar's ERA has dropped in each major league stint after the first one. The progression was horrendous, really bad, bad, and finally adequate for the last arm in the pen. He missed all of 2024 and the first half of 2025 with Tommy John surgery. Maybe he's finally healthy and ready to do something. Apparently he also missed the last month of 2025 with a shoulder impingement, so maybe he's not Edit to add: I'd tell you whose stats are whose, but I don't remember.

    No kidding. Just after the Rogers signing, we hear the Meltdown is sold out . Can the TwinsFest be far behind?
