A well-balanced and thoughtful article, Nick. To remain so interested in this team at this point is a reflection of your dedication to the Twins and this website. I can hardly stand it, myself.

And a reply from the 21st century: Noice.

Slander is a heavy word. I'd edit that out if I were you. Simply criticizing a player is not slanderous. Definition of slander: "the action or crime of making a false spoken statement damaging to a person's reputation."

I agree, but it seems that the players are getting a ton of criticism, and deservedly so.

I have to agree. Though it was frustrating to see him drop the ball after a great catch, I don't think he could have thrown the runner out at first. He was virtually sitting down as I recall.

What is the meaning of this post? And you posted it twice. ??

Larnach played like that he was still in AA. Well ...

I didn't want to, but I looked up how fast Segways go. 12.5 miles per hour. Grossman hits a frozen rope. There's no seque for that!

I never heard of apple pandowdy, but I like it! Are you by any chance a traveller from the 18th century?

And a day later he's injured. This man's worth is confusing beyond what I can deal with.

Sano has been terrible, without a doubt, but he alone is not killing the team. There are multiple players doing that. Most, in fact.

The Twins tried to cobble together a starting rotation with a shoe maker who in a matter of weeks will be a foot note in Twins history.

And Simmons will gone by August too.

Simmons is a trade piece you overlooked. He's here on a one-year deal, and if the Twins continue to fizzle contending teams will like to add his defensive wizardry. Not much return, but something, and a line to cross later in the summer.

It's like watching a rerun of your least favorite TV show from the 1980s.
