Agree. AND he creeps me out a little with his Gene Simmons impression to the dugout camera. He also leaned forward (inexplicably) on a cross up earlier in the season letting the ball hit the umpire. I wouldn't trust him.

I'd like to see the scouting report: Average to below defense.  Trouble driving the fast ball.. average arm. Horrendous Gene simmons impression.  Over all grade : c-

Nothing like a dreadful series like this coming out of the All-Star break to dash any hope of a possible run to a post season birth. It looks like they are playing to lose. Where's T.K. when you need him. Leo Durocher or Billy Martin would be kicking some major butt right now.

They changed it 2 years ago, went from 2:20 to 2:00

Interesting! I stand corrected. I still can't imagine they'll go less than that but maybe they'll do something like the NFL with the split-screen commercials.

I can see Billy grabbing the ball from a pitcher and kicking him in the butt as he walked off the mound.

Once Cave is ready, I think most people think Celestino or Gordon will go to St Paul.  I wonder if it might be helpful for Larnach goes down for the month of August and come back in September.

I disagree I think they should let them play especially Gordon for the rest of the season to see what they can or cannot do.  Let them play consistently.  Who knows who will be here after 8/1.

When will someone in the Twins' FO, finally stand up during a game like this, and have security physically remove Baldelli for the dugout.  I don't care if he's at fault 0%, 33% or 100%.  He's providing nothing remotely positive for this team.  No one can even hold their head up, like they're playing aggressive or smart baseball.   He's just an extra seat on the plane or an extra buffet plate.  We would not be in worse shape, if he took a powder.

I'd like to see NIck "Night Light" Gordon get some regular playing time. Maybe provide a glimmer of light amidst the darkness.

Truthfully, that hope was dashed long ago

I’m not even watching the game. This is about as bad of an exit out of the all-star gate that any team can possibly make. My anticipation is just going to build up over the next 2 weeks as I see who we trade away, who we acquire, and analyze it the future potential of what we just traded for as I slip in to a coma of I don’t care for the last 2 months of the regular season.

This team is lifeless. Just waiting for the trades to happen.

I admire the Twins' decision to wear uniforms today.

It lends some much-needed credibility to the theory that they're at work and doing their jobs, rather than just some dudes who know each other from school and get a game together on weekends sometimes.
