St. Peter would like you to know that the Twins will debut their new red uniforms on Wednesday as they try to avoid an 0-8 start.

 

 

And here's Molly, getting the boys psyched up for their next mission...

If the Twins keep this up, alcoholism in MN is going to spike through the roof!!!

Another silver lining to this mess of a team...and I listened to the whole game and kept hearing "but, it's the White Sox's and Twins are home" in my head     ​

BBBBBBBBBOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Gopher Fans

 

I scoff at thee!!!

As well you should, RB . As well you should.

As well you should, RB . As well you should.

Actually I'm still kinda scoffing at myself.

 

I only divorced the Gophers in Hockey for obvious reasons.

 

Still cheer for BBall and FBall. Although that doesn't seem to do them any good.

 

I think it's the Gophers who have taught me my amazing patience.

I was gonna read through the entire thread but I'm resting in Escanaba and 28 pages is gonna take me until 3AM.

 

Someone just tell me who got post of the day.

 

Must have been a great game thread with some ugly stuff mixed in... considering the result.

 

To my Twins,

 

Concentrate on the next 155 games.

 

Concentrate hard... And... And... Start tonight.

I feel a little like Escobar on that Suzuki sacrifice.

But you had a better chance!

Remember, the Twins had a single crazy month last year or they would have drafted 1st or 2nd again. We've replaced Hunter in right with a 270-300 lb guy who doesn't want to be there. In our big move we replaced Sano as DH with 30 year old Korean. Oh, yeah, we put a very slick fielder in center, a fielder who in 2 years hasn't hit his weight...and he's skinny. Finally, we did absolutely nothing to improve a very bad bull pen.

 

I thought we'd be better. Why did I think that?

Don't forget to spit at thee, from Hell's heart, or at least from Tailgator's...

Rosario is leading the league in bad routes taken to balls hit down the left field line (Frazier's double today and the Hosmer triple on Sunday).  Can anyone get him a Google Maps app?  Is Lew Ford available?

 

I'm not the manager and I'm not in the clubhouse. But, just the same, I'm going to swear and kick something over in my house.

If you have a water cooler, go for that!

 

Already dead. Take it up with the afterlife.

Is there really an afterlife, and if so why does He let us suffer watching this?

Mrs Chief has a wine cooler, will that work?

Haw!  It's Kismet!  I just re-watched the original series Kahn episode last night--  get 'em, Ricardo!  Maybe he can give the Twinkies a pep talk from beyond...

I'm really disappointed I missed the Suzuki bunt because I love bunting.

I heard Chief is ecstatic....... Oh wait, they said he was beside himself!

There is definitely some sort of afterlife. First, you see a bright light. Then, you end up near the top of Target Center. From there, I saw Him wearing a Tigers hat, and he had a big, thick mustache.

Although maybe that wasn't Him. Maybe I caught the last 10 minutes of an old episode of Magnum, P.I.

 

Anyway, I assume He wants us to repent for something. If I see Him again, I'll ask.

 

How about "Taps?" or the "Funeral March?" Dirge?

I propose this.....

 

 

Or this....

Do the rules allow a team to substitute a player from the bench to replace the batter? A "pinch hitter", if you will.

As a rule, yes. But we are in Twins Territory, where hitting for a veteran is highly frowned upon. It is deemed a lack of respect!

 

I think it's the Gophers who have taught me my amazing patience.

 

And modesty.   Don't forget your bottomless well of modesty.

Well said. You can't win in baseball today staying status quo when the club was mediocre outside of one month. So much has been placed on the backs of prospects and those prospects seem overmatched and completely unable to deal with their disastrous starts. Sano swatting at flies or being frozen by a 90 mph cutter that splits the plate. Rosario swinging at anything within 5 feet of the plate. Buxton rarely even reaching base. If these guys don't pan out, this organization will be set back YEARS. Time for a new leader in the FO

Kepler can't be used again until an eighth inch of dust has settled on him following his previous cameo.

He needs time to acclimate to this level of play!

A bit of both, possibly?

 

 

Dick Bremer gets more out of touch with reality every year. He makes Hawk Harrelson look like Elon Musk.

I used to use that after a shower, drove the wife wild!

Tomorrow's gate giveaway should be rope and a footstool

late, but post of the day!

'After sufficient acclimation, Kepler finally gets another plate appearance...'

Ok, ok, I know, that's totally ridiculous.

 

Kepler bats left.

omg, get out of bed, go downtown to the brew pub, old bank on th left side. Vunder Bar

You know, Red Shirts meant death in Star Trek episodes.

 

And the Twins debut the new Red Shirts Friday.

 

Hmmm. Coincidence?

God's response:

 

“Enter ye in at the strait gate: for wide is the gate, and broad is the way, that leadeth to destruction, and many there be which go in thereat: Because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it."

 

Cheer up, everybody! God is on our side! This passage is clearly an allegory on the merits of bandwagon/fair-weather fans versus the ever faithful Twins fans.

I dunno, at the rate the Twins are going this year, we full time fans may be entering Cubs fan territory. The great thing about bandwagon jumping is the lack of angst when the season starts out poorly. Fairweather fans can hoard their strength until things turn around. Fairweather fans are probably less susceptible to heartburn and liver failure too.

Why was Nunez pitch hitting not Arcia or Kepler???

Arcia strikes out too much, and Kepler hasn't completed his orientation paperwork yet. 

 

Hope that help!
