RIP BYTO

Not blaming the umps at all for this sweep, but they probably were the only thing that was more inept than the Twins this series.

I watched a team that was not particularly interested in continuing on with their season.

Things that frustrated me: 1. watching these guys swing at almost every curveball they saw. 2. Polancos lazy defense in the 9th. 3. Pulling Maeda too soon. 4. Romo.....been trash ever since Cleveland got under his skin. 5. 17 straight. 6. As much as I like Cruz, he’s been underwhelming. Starting to play his age. 7. Sano had a good week or so run but for the most part is a big disappointment. 8. Donaldson even when healthy is a non factor.

The old man has only been a Twin a short time and even shorter when you look at games played, but so far, is he the best FA signing in Twins history? My top 3 prior to this year were: 1. Molitor 2. Morris 3. Davis A lot can change between now and October, but I Am tempted to place him number 1 already. There are few players in Twins history that has me glued to the TV when he’s up to bat like him. Kirby Puckett being the exception. Convince me otherwise.

Sometimes language is hard

The one rule I have always wanted is that ALL players must go through the draft process. Teams being able to bid on foreign players that have never played for an MLB team is unfair to small market teams.

I expect Boston to jump all over this. Hey, it worked before.

I ruined my 1987 homer hanky with a Les Straker autogragh...........so yeah....Les Straker.

I miss BYTO It should not be lost on the fact that since the death of BYTO, this team has sucked royally.

I would like to see a complete house cleaning.

I hope this is a sign of things to come. If we are going to lose, might as well lose with guys that are part of the future here. Neither of these stiffs qualify as part the future of this team.

Definitely a struggle for me to stay positive. Probably the first year for me not seeing them live in 20 years. I live in Wisc. and since they only played two games in Milwaukee this year, and I don't think I want invest the time and money to road trip it to Minn., it's looking likely MLBTV is going to be my only viewing option for this year. They are young in a lot of spots, but they just are not fun to watch for me. I get bored pretty easily with this team and often find myself finding something more productive to do other than spending 3 hrs watching a game. It's hard to admit for me, but I am finding that a quick glance to the scoreboard online is enough to satisfy my Twins fix for the day. As a hardened Twins fan, I am not opposed to watching losing baseball, I've done it many many times over in my lifetime, but it's wearing thin with me for some reason lately. Oh well, hopefully the winning will return and all things will be good again.
