Seeler. But they gave up on him last year. Probably cause Fenton acquired two new defensemen.

RFA Ek signed.

Cron's hit was a fair ball. Why no challenge? Cost them a run.

Big win.

I don't see the difference between attributing it to an unnamed source and just paraphrasing and reporting it anyway. Same thing. As Russo told Fenton a thousand times when he blew up at his employees about leaks, Russo ultimately got the information from someone outside the Wild organization. Ultim...

GM dictates culture. Hires the coach, buys the groceries.

Alright, can we get a full L-R for everyone else that doesn't typically see them with helmets off :lol: ? I have a couple question marks; did I get the rest correct?

Anyone watch Succession on HBO? I saw an episode at a hotel the other week and may start.

I started at the beginning. I gave up on it.

Another stupid send. Dumb dumb dumb. And now Rogers is going to lose it.
I don’t have a problem with the send. You have a chance to win, and you’ll still have a player in scoring position.

One out with a guy on third. No way I send him.

And that's the season. No pitching.

Another stupid send. Dumb dumb dumb. And now Rogers is going to lose it.

And Kepler homers.

So dumb to send the runner with Kepler on deck.

An 11 game lead over Cleveland has been erased. They clearly needed pitching help at the trade deadline and the 2 moves they made haven’t made much (if any) of a positive difference. In a year they have a punchers chance to do some damage in the playoffs, ownership & mgmt cheaped out AGAIN. Accordi...

So glad ownership decided to hit the flush handle at the deadline.

So glad when we needed a starter they went and got one.

The nagging injuries just keep piling up.

Same thing as the Vikings. The "experts" said they'd be fine, but the general fan base that doesn't even pay much attention saw they needed pitching/OL help and cried for it and then it was the team's downfall. Pretty much. We'll see if the Vikings did enough in that area this offseason and get luc...

Many said they needed pitching. Many said they needed more pitching than they went and got. Many were right.

That was murder.

Uh, huh. We should go out and find what they were saying about Granlund and Coyle back in the day. Never happened. First, I wouldn't lump Granlund in with Coyle. Second, if you want to think that Boldy's upside is what we know about Charlie Coyle in 2019 then so be it. Not to mention Charlie was a ...

Boldy is an extremely well rounded player that is good at everything.

So, he's Charlie Coyle. My excitement can't be contained.

I like Morgan. They'll be fine.

We've officially put more time into debating Fenton's competence than Leipold did before hiring him, so we've got that going for us, which is nice.

Truth.

This whole Fenton situation screams incompetence by the owner. He said Fenton wasn’t fired for the guys he drafted. Yeah right. How do you pass on Spencer Knight and Cole Caufield? Wonder how tickets sales are going...... You might want to read the actual article. It has almost nothing to do with t...

My guess is a year from now something big comes out...I dont care how bad he is (and it sounds like he was awful) a move like this usually means he did something really bad! Good riddance. Russo has reported that the scathing expose he wrote only scratched the surface. A lot of things he couldn't w...

USA playing Canada today & Boldy is NOT one of the 13 forwards who dressed today. Another nail...while Caufield is USA leading scorer

Not surprised.

Shouldn't take 11 runs to beat the Royals

The guy was terrible. I notice no one is defending him now. Even the Aberg deal was not handled correctly. Which I said at the time.

The GM at the time knew he’d likely not be around for the end of the contract so “who gives a $h!t what happens?”.

That and the owner, Parise, and Suter all thought they were going to compete for Cups in the first 6 years. They all failed.

You're expecting altruism out of sports teams? What planet are we discussing right now, cause it's not Earth?

Listening to Russo podcast right now. Apparently Fenton is being stupid enough to tell people that talk to Russo that someone else was responsible for him getting fired.

Reported in The Athletic again today. https://theathletic.com/1108742/2019/08/01/how-much-damage-did-paul-fenton-do-to-the-minnesota-wild/ There were puzzling developments off the ice, too.

Aaah, thanks. So, if they retire even if they aren't here anymore the Wild are screwed. Awesome system. Why shouldn't there be a penalty?

I don't see anyone beating Houston at this point. I'd sure love it if the Twins get to try though.

Just curious... what do people think would come in a return for Parise or Suter? And how would fans react? Dumping David Clarkson who could be put on LTI cost a 1st and 2nd. Dumping Bryan Bickell cost a prospect (Teravainen), 2nd & 3rd. Dumping Dave Bolland cost a 2nd and 3rd. Isn't there like a pe...

I'm tempted to cut the cord. Comcast is so freaking expensive for what I get (or want) it's ridiculous). Certainly paying the convenience of it all at this point.

Yep. The owner screwed up big time. No question.

Yep. The guy is a complete dick. That's why he was fired. who would you like to see as the next gm Hextall works. I think Nanne said Lombardi? Liked what I heard there. Russo said Fitzgerald? Don't mind that either. Just hire a guy who can manage people and hire good people this time. We still have...

Yep. The guy is a complete dick. That's why he was fired.

I see/hear loads of references to Suter basically running the team, but I'm unable to find anything actually in print about it. Is that because the media is afraid of writing the story lest they lose access? Can someone fill me in as to what the deal is? For reference: https://twitter.com/RussosFil...

For the team nothing has really changed ultimately. This year could be great or it could royally suck. Depends on Dubnyk, who if anyone breaks out, whether you get average or better years from the vets, and whether or not the team stays healthy. If the team stays healthy for the most part and Spurge...

Prickly? The man was a complete arrogant dick in every interview he ever gave.

I guess this means that idiot ScoobyDoo was right about him all along.

Having a young Gopher goalie playing in that league is awesome. Should bear fruit.

Well, the Twins certainly don't need pitching as most anyone who is a fan suggested every day for the past month. Fixed. :wink: Not true. I got ripped for even suggesting it a week ago. Had all these contrarian links posted. Pitching help is going to be a lot more expensive now then it was a month ...

Well, the Twins certainly don't need pitching as that idiot ScoobyDoo suggested the other day.

They're not a mess if the following happens. 1. Dubnyk plays his best and is consistently playing it all season and the playoffs. 2. They stay healthy. 3. They get career average years out of the vets. 4. They have a couple of the youngsters break out. If those (4) things happen then they will have ...

And now after the triple play the pitcher is throwing strikes and looking good.

Bomba Squad is back.

That made my night. Wow.

Pitching please.

Like I said.
Rogers has been one of the best relievers in baseball... Oak gets a hit w/ RISP while we are 0-5. The offense gets off the hook so easy?

So, when our offense is down it's not their pitching?

Potato, potato.

I'll say it again. I want more pitching.

Like I said.

Pitching please. Soon.

Need pitching.

If people are that all over the place as to who is going to win the West it's a good year for the Gophers to do it.

So, do it. Then crush whoever comes out of the East and put a stamp on the program forever.

If they stay healthy they can make some noise. But, if they continue the injury train they're screwed. See the Twins.

Wrong. This year they have Boston, San Jose, Tampa Bay, St. Louis, and Carolina. That's according to their formula.
