This was my fault guys. First game I attended this year. It was ugly, I took the kids home after the 3 run homer. Magically when I leave they start playing better. Checked in on my phone and I was excited to see they came back. Turned on the TV to start the 10th... Again my fault I am a curse for this team... I will stay away.

I never understand why people blame the players for their salaries. The owners set the market. The owners charge the ticket prices and concessions. The owners ask for tax payers money. If you pay the players "what they are worth" (which in itself is debatable) do you think the owners are going to lower prices or pocket the money? In my opinion the only reason we choose to get mad at the players is that their money is public. I guarantee if you saw what the owners take home was you would not be so quick to blame the players for asking for the money they are asking. I would love to know more about your thoughts on this subject.

I am pessimistic - normally an optimist but in recent memory I do not have a "stud prospect" that has lived up to the hype in a twins uniform. The last one I can remember was Joe Mauer.

The front office has to be looking at 2019 season as a realistic playoff season. As bad as that sounds for the twins fans I think it is reality. You get rid of eeyore at first base and his $23 mill and the roster starts making sense. By then these your players will be established or gone and you will have the working capital to fill with the right veterans.
