Keep in mind
That's the problem... People actually think the last 10 years have been a success. Winning garbage divisions and being embarrassed in the playoffs is a "success"?
-
Keep in mind
Ortiz was given plenty of opportunity here and didn't pan out... I don't really blame the Twins for that.
-
Keep in mind
Also, I never called for it. Just asked when the team would consider it.
-
Keep in mind
Those teams also don't have one of the worst playoff records in the last 10 years, either.

At what point?
I'd hate to move on from Gardy only to replace him with someone like Ullger... If you fire Gardy, you need new blood to come in.
-
At what point?
Heaven forbid anyone demands some accountability around here... Keep making wise ass comments without adding anything into the thread.
-
At what point?
Grow up? LOL, just trying to have intelligent Twins conversation... You can partake at any time.
-
At what point?
In most organizations, I'd agree. I have a hard time seeing the Pohlads pull the trigger, though, which frustrates me.
-
At what point?
He's won crappy divisions and has embarrassed himself and the team in the playoffs. "Very good manager" might be a little generous.
-
At what point?
Not delusional. What's delusional is letting a manager continue to get a free pass with a historically bad playoff record.

At what point?
Does Gardenhire go on the proverbial hot seat? Before I explain, I should probably make it clear I'm not trying to be one of those fans that overreacts over 2 games, but with his playoff failures, and now the fact that the wheels are starting to come off (based on last year), at what point do you think the team would think about making a change? I like Gardy, but it almost seems like his act is starting to wear thin, and sometimes change is a good thing. Just curious to get your thoughts. I think, and hope, he lasts the whole year. Midseason firings normally don't benefit anybody, really.

2012 AL Central Standings - Part 3
I think the Twins get 2nd, but for the sake of the thread, I'll take them for 3rd. Royals are still a year or 2 away, IMO.

Article: What do we make of Justin Morneau's quotes?
I've said for quite some time that even if Morneau was to come back, he'd be a fraction of his former self. Obviously, I'm rooting for him, but I have zero expectations for him.

First Reliever Into the Rotation?
I hope it's not Duensing, not because I don't like him, but because I feel like he can be a solid contributor if you give him a role he can stick with, and he was a valuable arm out of the pen a couple years ago. Swarzak would be the obvious guess.

Favorite Baseball Movie?
Probably Little Big League, but the Major League movies are up there. Moneyball was phenomenal as well. To be honest, if it's about baseball, I'd probably enjoy it.
