Hijinks

No way do you try to lose for years, but talent needs to be built through trades and drafts. Just don't think losing for years does much, maybe in the NFL it could be considered a strategy but it just takes far too long to develop talent in the MLB. Also the drop in attendance would lower revenue to the point you could no longer hold on to the talent you develop.

I agree, I just don't see how we would acquire 4 more quality pitchers. Diamond has been great and hopefully will continue to be good next year. The Pohlads would have to spend a significant amount of money to sign free agents and history would indicate the are not likely to do that. Unless I am missing a number of significant prospects being ready next year, it doesn't seem like a fix that will occur during the offseason but more likely over the next few years.

Last off season, most the people I know, blamed the Twins record on injuries and some genuinely thought it was a simple fix away. This season it is much easier to see this team isn't a quick fix from contention and hopefully management makes decisions accordingly.

One could argue that is why the short series are so much fun, much harder to predict the outcome.

Why hasn't blackburn been pulled yet? Seriously blackburn,watching tape doesn't fix this kind of problem. Maybe next time you should say you solved the problem until you have strung together multiple quality starts.

Flowers hit a double, time to pull blacky

Beginning to understand why people drink during the day.

A double and this could be tied up, and cue two K's in a row.

If they are fans of the opposing team?

This is just painful...

They have already waited too long to send Plouffe to the DL, bet he comes back this weekend after sitting on the bench for a week.
