These Twins certainly making it hard to temper my optimism. Did not expect 25 wins on May 25th, much less have the 3rd best record in the AL. What makes it better is that nobody is really having spectacular year...yet. Just quietly winning games. I like it.
You know those good feelings we've been having lately? Nolasco is really good at crushing those. The reverse stopper. Answer with 3 runs? Better give at least one back
Heck of a catch by Mr Robinson. Way to cap off the game. It's been said earlier, I'm not sure how long this good feeling will last but I will enjoy every second of it for as long as I can. Haven't felt positively about this team as a whole for a long time. Are we coming out of the "dog days" that we have endured for the past 4 seasons? I sure hope so.
I also adopted Kansas City as my team this postseason. So I'll say Kansas City in 7. Nobody should go without a World Series for 29 years, much less a playoff appearance. Unless that team is the Yankees. Go Royals
I guess I didn't mean I wanted it to be an exact same scenario as the Kelly-Gardy "handoff". What I meant was I had hoped that Gardy would get this team close to or over .500, ala Kelly in 2001 and "handoff" a solid team to the new manager. Whomever that new manager may be, in house or external hire. And Gardy would ride off into the sunset and do some spring training/broadcasting part time stuff for the Twins as he enjoys retirement.
It's weird talking about this. Gardy has been manager of the Twins for nearly half of my lifetime. I liked Gardy. More as a person and less so as a manager. He was a constant figure over the past 13 years. This was necessary, but I was hoping that this was going to be a Kelly to Gardy type handoff. And maybe it is. I feel like this team is nearing the corner to be turned to contention again. Well, at least the offense is. Godspeed Ron Gardenhire.
In no particular order, I'd would be ok with the following: Dougie Baseball, Ozzie Guillen, Dave Martinez or Ron Washington. First three seem more likely than the last one. This off season shall be interesting to say the least.
I have been having the same issue on my home network for approximately 2 weeks. But only on my home network. Been in Chicago the past day and a half so I don't know if I'm having the same issue there or not. I assume I do
