  1. Let's bring 'em up and kick the tires!!!
  2. We know what we have with Sano, we aren't sure about Rooker, but I'm willing to find out if he strikes out less than rally-killing Sano. My vote; trade Sano and put Rooker in every game the rest of the season.
  3. Can't give this piece enough "likes"!!!!
  4. Tuning in the Twins is like coming across a multiple vehicle pile-up; there's car parts strewn all over the highway, injured people walking around in a daze, maybe a pair of medics working over a poor guy on stretcher. You don't want to look, but you do. In fact you slow down to give it a good once-over because it's so terrible. Then you stop at a nearby food truck to share what you saw with a dozen other spectators. What the hell; barbecue chicken on a stick ain't something you can pass up.
  5. The team has lost the starting rotation, the bull pen, defense, RISP and Buxton. And now they can't find their way to the locker room? How much worse can it get?
  6. I'd vote for the most consistent player that's filled in everywhere (you can take that two different ways); The Turtle.
  7. You suppose A-Rod's first move as owner would be to juice up the players?
  8. Maybe it's time Donaldson takes Wee Willie's advice to heart and "hit 'em where they ain't"
  9. Sounds like Samantha Thiede's got her feet on the ground while her boyfriend has his head up his... well, you know where. This is Minnesota for gods' sakes! Land of 10,000 Professional Team Sports Disappointments (PTSD)!
  10. I'm not a stats guy so here's a question I'd like some help with: How many games did Sano not win by striking out with RISP when the Twins were behind versus how many games did he "win" by smacking a moonshot to put the Twins in the lead and/or tie the game and the Twins eventually triumphed? Is there a stat for that?
  11. Circle Me Bert... so Scotty can fix my location and beam me up. I seem to have purposely lost my communicator.
  12. Momma always said that checking the Twins score in late innings is like opening a box of chocolates... and finding they all melted.
  13. The Angels DFA future Hall of Famer Pujols . We start Sano and Cave. Pujols .198/.250/.372 5 HR 12 RBI Sano .113/.299/.226 2 HR 4 RBI Cave .160/.241/.253 1 HR 11 RBI For Comparison: Tortuga .313/.308/.484 3 HR 11 RBI Gee! Should we sign Pujols? Just keep trotting Sano and Cave out there? Trade Tortuga for Pujols? Are the Angels that much better they don't need someone putting up numbers like Pujols? But the Twins need two guys worse than Pujol this season? Plenty of blame for FO and Rocco to share if you ask me.
  14. "Senior Manager of Fan Experience Bob Moulette" ? What? How did I survive all those years as a Twins fan last century without having someone manage my experience?
  15. The Little Sisters of the Poor would have more wins if Sister Goretti was on the mound.
  16. Call it schadenfreude but I'm actually staying tuned in to see how many ways this team can implode. Sort of Lovable Mets fixation. Rocco pulls a starting pitcher by accident; I chuckle. Rocco pulls a starting pitcher that's doing okay because he's approaching a mythical barrier and replaces him from a depleted bullpen that promptly blows the lead; I laugh. We drop six games in the 10th inning and I'm holding my sides from laughter. We load the bases up and the next three guys strike out on 11 pitches; I roar with laughter. A player we sign for defensive prowess commits a handful of errors; I howl with laughter. Someone airmails a throw to first base into the grandstand and I'm rolling on the floor with mirth Hell, you can't pay for this kind of entertainment! It's pulled me right out of the pandemic doldrums. Makes me want to stay isolated at home just to watch/listen to the Twins. Can't wait to see how they're going to lose next. I hope they surprise me.
  17. Wow! Six identical comments! Driving home your point or is the TD changeover not going well? Just funning. I like your title for Sano.
