All professional teams in MN suck right now and the Twins are on their way to sucking the most.

I don't think it's as much a lack of effort as it is a lack of talent. This pitching staff is embarrassing.

Our winning percentage right now is still better than Gardenhire's career playoff winning percentage. For another three games at least...
Good stuff!

The Twinkies,Wild,Queens all are so bad at rebuilding there teams I am embarrassed to say the Timberpuppies are the only local pro team that has improved, and I hate the NBA

At least the Twins got rid of Bill Smith. And this is a club that never gets rid of anyone. Sadly baseball has a long slow rebuilding process but I do think they've already made a step in the right direction in that regard.

The Twins didn't fully get rid of Billy Smith. They removed him from the position of GM and shuffled him a few doors down the hallway and gave him a new title. The self-labeled administrator is still in charge of international player development.

Funny when Stengel had players named Mantle, DiMaggio, Berra, Ford, etc. he was winning World Series and when he had guys named Throneberry, Neal, Chacon, etc. he was losing 120 games a year. I wonder why.

And when Gardenhire had two different league MVPs and a two-time Cy Young winner he wasn't. Not even best of 5 playoff series. With home field.
Just for the record, I don't lay blame on him for the 6 - 18 start. I do for the 6 - 21 career playoff record. At any rate, nothing will happen to him. Play in a crap division and when you go to the playoffs you aren't ever expected to beat teams from the East. Lose 100 games and it's because you don't have good enough personnel. He has a world class gig.

Beauner wrote:Twins claimed OF Erik Komatsu off waivers from St. Louis and designated Clete Thomas for assignment, thus ending the guy who strikes out more than anybody I've ever seen (16 times in 23 ABs IIRC).
Komatsu is 24 years old, an 8th round pick out of Cal State Fullerton. He played CF and RF for St. Louis.

They shouldn't have scored any tonight either (at least thru 7). Casilla got a gift walk that was strike 3 and the tapper that Span hit back to the mound was the easiest GIDP that you will ever see. Somehow Seattle didn't manage to get an out anywhere on that play.
This team can really hit.
EDIT: FSN Post game led with the headline: Twins Offense Awakens. We had 5 hits and Seattle gave up 1 earned run. You can't even make this stuff up....

I heard a stat today on the pregame show that the Twins starting rotation is averaging something like 5.15 K/9. The only starting staff in MLB history lower than that was the 2003 Detroit Tigers. That Tigers team went 43-119.![]()

Ryan Doumit has 2 HRs today. His first one today was the first Twins HR in 9 games according to Bremer.
His second HR was a bomb. I hope he can get his bat going. Something about the way he leaves his back leg/foot flat really bothers me, but I guess if he's going to hit bombs I'm ok with it

Is it any wonder why we are where we're at with this kind of dumbass lunacy?
We'll dump Liriano to the Rays for a bucket of balls before the trade deadline, and they'll figure out how to make him either a 20 game winner or a stud closer.
Kind of like how Delmon was going to turn into a triple crown threat once he got away from Vavra?
A triple crown threat brought down by a hate crime. Such a sad story...

They could bump up Joe into the 2 hole tonight, but only if he was playing SS or 2B. A middle infielder has to bat 2nd in your lineup.
Love that Komatsu taking Span's spot in the outfield means he necessarily has to in the batting order also.

Easily my most consistently frustrating point about Gardenhire over the past decade... Isn't that something a rookie manager would do if he didn't know how to properly manage a lineup...?
