  1. I live in California and only get to see live games when the Twins travel to Anaheim. It feels pretty bad when the Twins are getting killed, sitting in the middle of thousands of Angels fans. But it's great to see the team live, and there are generally at least a thousand fans wearing blue and red, and sometimes women will hug me when the Twins win.
  2. Well said Twinsnorth. I have been a fan since 1965, and only death or dementia can change that. But I also respect the fans who look away when the team is performing poorly. It seems to me that the major problem this year is poor starting pitching. The hitting has been better than I expected, and the defense seems (barely) adequate. If the pitching could just get to league average, and if Morneau and Valencia can break out, there could be a lot of wins. Span, Mauer and Willingham are all already off to decent starts and could do better... I guess one sign of a "die hard" fan is that he/she is always thinking of a scenario where the team can still make the playoffs. I have not yet given up. If Liriano can work out his issues, if Pavano can increase his velocity, if Blackburn can pitch like he did in spring training, if Hendricks can gain more confidence and Marquis can have a miracle year, we could still make the playoffs.
  3. There are lots of good ideas here, but also some crazy ones. For example, if Benson is not hitting in the minors, it does not make sense to bring him up. I would give the team another week or two to start winning, and unless there are major improvements, then I would be trying to trade for minor league pitchers who are close to ready for the majors.
  4. I am really enjoying these reports. Thanks for doing such a great job!
