  1. Right-on...was fun spending nights and weekends watching baseball, getting to know the players better, seeing that team camaradarie and keeping track of the victories. Shame, Shame on the Yankees for spoiling our fun!
  2. The Twins can pull this off but it will require something like we saw last time NY was in town, so I am guessing we will see a 8-7, 10-8 or maybe even a 12-11 game.
  3. If Arraez cannot go come Friday, I expect we will see Astudillo on the roster. I am going out on a "not really that far off the tree" limb to say he will deliver some clutch hits for this team.
  4. Cruz hits #40 of the year and #400 for his career. That, to me, is the coolest moment of the year! Just an overall class act and definitely a player to root for. He deserves the accolades. Hopefully this team can bring him a championship ring too.
  5. We have seen over the past decade or so in the men's pro leagues, young and relatively unknown teams that have become playoff-bound division champions, only to be beaten. But they ride that wave of success to eventually become world champions and dominant in their sport for several years. The Warriors and Astros come to mind. This current Twins team can achieve that too. Perhaps this is not their year to win it all but they are laying the foundation like those other teams have done.
  6. Shame! scottz. You shall walk the streets naked while we fling pig poo at you. Okay, Okay... I am doing the same thing as you, lol. The point is, most all of us rarely give 100% every day for the things we do to make a living. Puig is no different. He is an enigma that's for sure. But sometimes as fans of sports, we need that odd person, quizzical to us, a villain of sorts, someone that is easily identified, to make ourselves feel better for a brief period.
  7. A division crown is very close but definitely not a sure thing with the latest round of news about Pineda, Buxton and Kepler and with several other regulars ailing. Just don't know what to think. So close but yet so far...sigh.
  8. It does seem that way to me too and it seems to be psychological more so than physical (injuries) or even skill. I noticed when Cleveland last came to town they had swagger and confidence almost to the point of a bully and what I mean is they just kinda let you know they are good and you are gonna have to knock them off their perch if you wanna beat them. The Twins just don't seem to show that same type of assertiveness and aggression. Lesser teams, the ChiSox and Tigers lately, seem to catch on to that quickly and often take charge of game situations. Makes it harder for the Twins to re-assert themselves. At least that is what I perceive.
  9. I like Gibson. I don't like Gibson. I like Gibson. I don't like Gibson. I like Gibson. I don't like Gibson. I like Gibson. I don't like Gibson. I'm not picking petals off a daisy or being wishy-washy. That sentiment sums up how I feel about his Twins career.
  10. I like it. Egos aside, fielding the best team for that day is what is needed. I wonder what stats Rocco looks at in making his lineup? P.S. He needs your advice.
  11. I have no doubt, given this current record and tie for first place, that we would all feel different if we were seeing the April/May results right now and not the June/July/August ones.
  12. And knowing who was up next too. Even with Mr. Clutch's weak ground ball outs it would have only been the second out.
