HUGE rally on its way!!!

Ok - I was wrong.  However, this team is so bad that going forward any predictions that don't come to fruition on this thread are automatically pardoned for saying anything stupid.

    ROUGH draft

  • Tim Laudner assures us that the Twins won't lose all their remaining games.   So that's a load off.   Tim Laudner in studio is like a big, friendly, hairless mastiff,   but with less focus on sabermet

    No offense to anyone else who does these game threads, but I don't know that this one can ever be topped.  We should just dispense with the 5 point intros from here on out.

 

LOSAH!!!  :jump:  :jump:  :jump:

Don't have too much fun with that.

i may need to get a Moderator to sign off on that request though.  

At least it was a must-watch last at bat by Park. It's baseball. You find the little reasons to watch again. See ya'll next time.

Yeah, it was fun. But winning more than once every two weeks would be better. I struggle to find the words...

It occurred to me that in order for the twins to even win 40 games, they'd have to win a month's worth of games. We're averaging about 1/week

Maybe the Braves can come back against the Royals bullpen.

 

New third base coach?

Can't tell if she is waving them home or putting on the stop sign.

 

In all seriousness and honesty

 

Troubles are always behind you if you keep moving forward. 

Unless you're moving toward trouble.

 

At least we got the tying run on 3rd.   Coulda been worse.

 

This made me think immediately of another 'could be worse' moment...

But then it occurred to me that for the last couple of weeks,   bad weather has really been the most reliable thing standing between the Twins and a loss on any given night.

 

So no,  not even if it were raining could it be worse.

 

If nothing else,   though,   maybe each loss will subtract a little momentum from the apparently almost runaway 'Rob Antony for GM'    train.

I thought of that movie earlier tonight too, particularly in response to

 

What about a von Blucher?

But all i could think to respond was...

 

"Roll, roll, roll in the hay!"

 

So i got nothing.

 

What else should we throw down the well?

Either a Fool of a Took,   or the entire 2016 Twins bullpen.    Your call.

Before today his ERA is 1.89. 220 ERA+.  2.36 FIP.12.8 k per 9.    That ERA has now balloned to 3.20.

 

Which five starters would you prefer?

 

Viola, Radke, Tapani, Erickson, Santana

 

This team sucks across the entire organization.  I've never been more down on any team I root for in a very long time as much as I am about these guys.  Zero leadership on the bench or in the field.  No one steps up in a clutch situation.  No pitcher wants the ball in a big spot and comes through.  I've tried to stay patient but everything they've tried to work for has been shredded and there needs to be a new way of thinking around these parts.  Otherwise, we're gonna become what the Royals were for 25 years.

Do we know who this is?  Asking for a friend...

I was wondering the same. I like her moves.

It looks like that hobbit is taking a deuce in his pants.

Normally a loss like this would sting/be a bit heartbreaking and frustrating. Instead, I really could care less, it doesn't make a real difference in this season, it's a really really really bad sign that I (and a lot of fans) are already apathetic in the middle of May! In a year where we were supposed to contend.

 

Ugh.

451 posts in the game thread means we're having fun despite watching a team suck.

With Sano and Park in the lineup at least there's a thread (pun) of ... watchability.

Thought she's the Twins new third base coach.....
