Just want to make sure, Molitor is safe for next year, right? Just trying to figure out how anyone associated with this mess has job security.

 

Ok I'm done.

 

For now

Dick said the Twins are waiting for Kyle Gibson to become a consistent starter. Cue the Crickets!

Runner up for the evening's preposterous statement award: Jackie Mo says that Twins pitching is getting "almost hard to watch".

 

Not really sure what they could do to become more unwatchable at this point, unless the league would let them occasionally sacrifice a small animal on the mound.

Which number will be greater...pat dean's throws to first base this at bat or the number of Toronto homers this inning?

made that more realistic for ya!

[spinowner]

 

This is a cool story about the strange birth of "American Woman" ...

 

That was very very cool. Going back a generation earlier, legend has it that the song "Runaway" by Del Shannon had a similar origin. The band stumbled across a chord sequence and melody while on stage and eventually worked it up into a hit song.

Andrew Albers was warming up.

Night games at Rogers Centre make me feel like I'm at the dome. Pretty cool.

I liked "at some point, you're going to have to start throwing up some zeroes here"

 

I thought we've done plenty of throwing out zeroes this year

[Mr. Brooks]

Is it too late to take Bud Selig up on that contraction offer?

Del Shannon was awesome.    Runaway was a great tune!

Forget zeroes, throw up some 1's or 2's for a start.

[Aggies7]

I thought for sure we were winning the World Series in '06 before liriano got injured.

 

May have been our best shot in 25 years

[spinowner]

 

Just catching up: I always liked the McKenzie Brothers.

Give in to the dark side of the force, you knob!

[Pardon My Dinger]

Haven't checked in for a while. We're not still bashing Suzie, are we?

[S.]

 

Not really sure what they could do to become more unwatchable at this point

They could lick their entire hand, Mike Pelfrey style, every single pitch.

[twinssporto]

Suzuki!  

[King]

We are still in this. Lets go!

[Aggies7]

Frankie might as well board the flight back with the twins.

[Pardon My Dinger]

Luck Biagini tonight.

[twinssporto]

Not tonight.   Maybe tomorrow though.

"You can't run scared from talented players," Rangers manager Jeff Bannister said. Check out ESPN's article about the Rangers and their practice of taking players with talent but challenges, such as Carlos Gomez most recently.

[Aggies7]

How any MLB team still plays on turf at this point, in 2016, is ridiculous.

[operation mindcrime]

Can we leave Pat Dean in Canada permanently?

In a lot of places, it's not legal to play on grass.

[twinssporto]

I said this the other night.  Going to say it again:

 

Imagine how much fun these threads will be when we are in a World Series run...

 

Not delusional.  Just staying positive.

[Aggies7]

Can we leave Pat Dean in Canada permanently?

What, we should just leave him on the side of the only road in Canada?

[Deduno Abides]

In honor of Canada, are the Blue Jays going to get the Dean-Albers-Wimmers hat trick tonight? If they were hockey players, what would their line be called?

[LaBombo]

 

Since the MLB commish rob manfred is at the LLWS, you think there's any chance he could throw a scouting report together for mr. Antony?

Anything has to be better than this pile of trash we call a pitching staff.

 

But don't forget Ervin 'Magic' Santana, the Bela Lugosi of the Twins' C.W.A.S. rotation:

Georgie Weiss: "Kid, you must have me confused with David Selznick. I don't make major motion pictures; I make crap."

Edward D. Wood, Jr.:   "Yes, but if you take that crap and put a star in it, then you've got something!"
