    So wondferfully written Matt. I'm old enough that while enjoying your words, Bob Hope's song "Thanks for the Memories" was playing in the background in my mind. You can Google it if you've never heard if before. I've been a huge fan of Eddie Rosario since I first read about him in Elizabethton, when he out-homered the highly-touted Miguel Sano for the team lead in HR's that year. First saw him play and met Eddie during his time in low A ball with Beloit, and love to bring my "Eddie Rosario Fan Club" sign to Target Field, where he acknowledged the sign on several occasions. I'm hanging onto the sign for when he visits in the future.

    Great writing Seth and I echo your sentiments on keeping Cedar Rapids as an affiliate and encourage Twins fans to take the short road trip to Cedar Rapids to see the Kernels (you'll thank us later.) I'm still holding out hope that Eddie Rosario will come back on a one year deal, but I have a feeling that some team will pony up the money and sign him.

    Indeed we all do have a lot to be thankful for including the aforentioned Twins Daily.

    I really like Jake Reed, felt he should have been given a shot a couple of years ago when the Twins were struggling and he put up good numbers. Wish Reed luck, just not against our Boys.

    What a fun list. I enjoy seeing some names I haven't thought about in quite a while like Disco Dan Ford.

    A very good read that presents some very intriguing perspectives. I'm an Eddie Rosario fan, always have been, I would like to see the Twins sign him to a 1 year deal. He's on the field so much more than any other Twins outfielder and he has been consistently productive. I too have patches of hair that I've pulled out in frustration over his base-running miscues and errant throws when he missed the cutoff. Overall, I like his passion for the game and the way he produces.

    It looks pretty good, I think Jake Cave starting in LF is a huge drop from Rosario, whose has led the Twins in RBI the past 2 seasons. I pony up for Rosario for one more year, keep Cave as a fourth OF.

    Outstanding piece. Well played. Little Miss Muffet would approve of your Muppet.

    I've always liked Jake Reed and felt he deserved a look with the big club a couple of years ago.

    Eddie has been in the line-up more consistently than any other outfielder the Twins have had over the past 5-6 years. He's my favorite Twin (has been since his Beloit days) and while he does have moments that drive you crazy with lapses of brain flatulence, I love his bat, throwing arm, and enthusiasm in Minnesota's line-up.

    Awesome story, what a great read. Read some Twins names I haven't heard in awhile. Bombo.

    RandBalls Stu, IMO one of the best and gutsy pieces I've ever read on Twins Daily. I fully support the decision by the Twins and Tigers not to play and hopefully it got a few heads that were buried in the sand to come up and take a look at what's really going on in our world.

    Therein lies the hypocrisy.

    Excellent read, may all your dreams come true, especially #19.

    I do not have a least favorite Twin's announcer. I like that each of Dick Bremer's sidekicks has their own style or approach to how they provide commentary during the game. I like the variety they bring to the booth and their own way of sharing their expertise.
  16. nclahammer
    I would definately attend more Saints games if they were a Twins affiliate. Would love to have our top prospects that close.
  17. nclahammer
    I would aniticpate fewer days off for starters in the daily line-up and injuries being huge factors in a 60 game season. Bench depth could be the X factor for teams that incur injuries. A slow start could equal no playoffs. It's going be be great to watch it all unfold, I can not wait for our Boys to be back.

    Most enjoyab le thing i've read in quite awhile. Thank you and please can we "Play ball" sometime soon?

    "What Griffith said was inappropriate. But it was something that someone born more than a century ago said more than 4 decades ago. It has no bearing on what is happening today." I wholeheartedly disagree that the mindset and mentality of Calvin Griffith 4 decades ago has no bearing on what is going on today. That mindset and mentality among white America is still alive and well (and I say that being a white male.) That same line of thinking has been passed on to the next generation for decades/centuries, and still exists today and is deeply rooted in the curent problems our soceity is facing. It's time to put out the torch once and for all, instead of allowing it to be passed on.

    To make the Trout pick by the Angels even more amazing IMO, is they drafted another outfielder right before Mike Trout, Randal Grichuk, who has also shown he can hit the long ball.

    A happy medium between what the owners and players have proposed and counter-proposed would be an 80-ish game season. I'm a diehard baseball fan and I will survive, even if there is not a season this year. The fans IMO that MLB has the greatest risk of losing are those fringe fans, who will look for and find another outlet for their sports needs, if one is provided. Let's get together play ball!

    No I would not, by myself or with my family. Not at this time, too much is still unknown. It would be irresponsible even with masks on.

    I created a custom Minnesota Twins hat with instant Joe Mauer sideburns fattache don the sides for Halloween one day, and sent a picture to the Minnesota Twins and pitched it as a possible SGA. That was a few years ago, nothing yet.
