running a gauntlet is fine, as long as you don't do it with scissors..

Actually, I don't think they're ideas so much as a gauntlet thrown down.

SSOO, thanks for the list of ideas! You've now given me something to inflict on, I mean, use in game threads.

If you're going for the anti-jinx, you have to sell it.

Hmm, I was completely disgusted with Cave and he's turned things around. Okay, here goes: Fire Baldelli, bring back Gardy, option Harper and DFA Romo. I've had it with this team and it's time for this team to be woken up.

The Twins hung 6 runs on Detroit, which should be enough to beat the likes of Detroit. So no, Detroit doesn't have great pitching. Or even average pitching.

9 runs to Detroit. There is something seriously wrong when a team loses 3 out of 4 to two of the worst teams in the division. We're heading into epic collapse territory right now. Very disappointing. I understand "can't win them" all but the Twins losing to the likes of Chicago and Detroit? Both Detroit and Chicago look like they showed up to play. The Twins look like they showed up.

Nope, because a Triple A team should be able to beat Detroit.

I see the Twins are working on giving back the runs they got.

I'll own that I thought he should be sent down. By the way, crow tastes just fine, as long as you find someone else to eat it for you.

I'll take, "comments I never thought I'd see on TD for $500, Alex."

Twins, having trouble playing .500 ball since all star going up against a truly bad team. What could possibly go wrong?

"Bartender, I'l have one of what he's having!"

I'll take "comments that didn't age well for $500, Alex."

This is sad.

Ummm...well, you see... Shoot. I got nuthin.

oh, I forgot the rules: Yes.

In truth, Tyner could at least catch the ball. No power, but, I think he had a good on base percentage.

Jason Tyner.

Yeah, no longer holding my breath when Duffey and company enter the game. In fact, I thought that if Berrios got to the fifth, it would be okay for the bullpen to take over.

I remember Tom Kelly, when asked why he pulled a pitcher when he did, he responded with, "The pitcher was getting a lot of loud outs." And I seem to recall the pitcher had a shutout going at the time.

What depressing is that the grand slam wasn't really all that much of a surprise. And, sadly, again, an unknown pitcher is dealing against the Twins. What in the world?

Butch Huskey.

What did you do now?
