    We may lose by more than 6.

    Belisle...he has to be gone after the ASB. The Twins have better options! What are they doing?
  3. bighat
    Belisle greeted with a leadoff single.

    Embarrassing way to handle a 6-4 lead from the pitching staff. Our lone All-Star limps into the mid-summer classic after getting hammered. Eddie should be our All-Star, alas the AL outfield is stacked...but he is our best player and should be repping the Twins in the game.

    I have to agree. At this point, we should be happy to have Cave as our CF and Buxton has been reborn as a prospect once again. What a setback for what once looked like a future perennial All-Star. He is now a backup and deserves to be where he is. I also wish he was up with the club and producing, but it is what it is.

    Who starts Sunday? Slegers gets another shot?
  7. bighat
    Embarrassing.
  8. bighat
    Odorizzi, terrible.
  9. bighat
    Amazing what a shot in the arm he's been. Team's looking good with Polanco in the lineup for sure.

    Great win...Gibby is so solid. Rosie might hit 35 dingers this year! Keep racking up wins, fellas. The first half ain't over yet, let's win this series. He also goes 0-4 with 2 strikeouts and leaves 5 men on base, unfortunately.

    Jake Cave is going to be our Max Muncey. I prefer seeing Cave's name in the lineup over Buxton. Go Twins, sweep TB!

    Went to the game. Got up in the 2nd inning to grab a hot dog, came back and it was 5-1. Slegers didn't have it, although I'd have preferred for Molitor to let the kid work his way through that 2nd and see if he could get deeper into the game. Watching Morrison round 2nd base as he tried to turn that double into a triple was painful. Like watching cement dry. Getting the first out at 3rd base is a no-no, that's Baserunning 101 stuff. The whole crowd groaned when he made that turn...I think a few of the mascot race participants were faster than LoMo. Think we spent $50 on food-drinks and we didn't consume any alcohol. Prices weren't shocking but it still sucks to stop for a small coke and have them say "That'll be $6 bucks". Target Field makes airport food prices look cheap.

    I feel like the Twins might not win another game this season. Being a fan of this team feels like being a blackjack addict getting dealt 16 every hand. Just no real chance at all to win, and even those small number of times you get lucky, the dealer's showing an ace. You play one more hand because maybe THIS time you'll win. Kick yourself, repeat. Happy 4th! I'm taking a flight back to Minnesota today, all the way from Guatemala. I'm going to pack my winter jacket - I've got a 4-hour layover inside the Miami Airport, after all.

    Not sure any contenders want to deal with Rodney, looks like his value has pretty much already imploded. The Twins need to sell, and just about every asset we'd like to sell is at an all-time low, unfortunately! Can the guys just win a damn game, pleeeeezzze?
  15. bighat
    I think we are very, very close to having Buxton officially be a "bust". Sano might be OK in the long run but I think Byron's on the brink of playing himself out of the major leagues for good. Very sad stuff.
  16. bighat
    So placing Adrianza on the phantom DL is the only real move here? Watching everyone sit on their hands waiting for someone to step up while the team plays terrible baseball is somewhat irritating.
  17. bighat
    The Twins really need to just blow this whole thing up and start from scratch. Gonna be 2021 before this team is even remotely competitive again. That 2017 wild card run was a blast, but it looks like we are going to pay a heavy price for that ride.
  18. bighat
    Ugh. Lester with the 3-run bomb...never in a million years...
  19. bighat
    I'm not sure how retaliating would help Escobar's arm....
  20. bighat
    ...and son.

    I hear you and totally get the argument. We know who buys condos in Wrigley, and we know why...younger couples want to be close to the action and live the urban dream for a few years. They get a dog, then have kids a few years later and move to Schaumberg. Maybe it's not the residents that are inconvenienced as much as the businesses, like you said. With a full slate of night games that area could turn into a bigger sh*t-show than it already is now. It's Sounds like you've got a great location, I love that area over by Soldier Field, it's really developed a ton in the past 15 years. I lived in Ukrainian Village for about 10 years (after my obligatory first Chicago year in Lakeview). I appreciated being only a few blue line stops from downtown but without the crowds. That said, living so close to Western Ave was like being next to a highway sometimes. :-0 Haven't been back to Chicago since I sold all my stuff on Craigslist, put a few t-shirts in a backpack and moved to Guatemala 5 years ago. Most of the time I don't miss it, but watching the Cubs games the past few days really bring back some nostalgic feelings.

    As you are aware, these regulations are because the stadium is in a residential neighborhood. The lights came on 8/8/88 (I was in the stands that day!) and ever since, neighbors have steadfastly voted for aldermen/women who will ensure that they can have some peace & quiet at night. The Cubs have been asking for more night games for years - and they seem to get a handful more each time they ask. But you have to have some sympathy for the neighbors and residents here.

    Unfortunately, the Twins are at a point where every loss crushes hope and momentum. Losing 4-out-of-5 ballgames isn't a step in the right direction, no matter how many runs you score. I sure do agree it was nice to see some 2-out hitting today but the weather was a huge factor. Before the game even started, Vegas had this game pegged as the highest scoring game of the day...humid, hot day games at Wrigley produce tons of runs.

    Thanks again Tom for watching these games and giving us the rundown! Gotta be a tough job right about now, respect to ya.

    Absolute disaster for an absolute train wreck of a team. There may not be a worse team in baseball at this point. White Sox, Orioles, and Royals included. This team is just awful. Has no heart, no leadership, no captain, and very little talent. Checks all the boxes. I'm not contributing or being helpful to the morale here, so I'm outta here. Watching the Twins makes me angry and so I guess it's time to just stop watching.
