    On the bright side, the **********s are sending Javier Vasquez to the mound today.
    Having a clear conscience just means you have a bad memory or you had a boring weekend.

      The Twins will find a way to lose by a run again.

        Forgive me for not overreacting in May.
        Yes, but this is why they can win the division and be happy with that. We need to get ****ed off that they are going one and done year-in and year-out. It's old.

              No. The Twins drafting is way better than the T-wolves (with the exceptions of drafting Love/Garnett - both of whom are very good players). Their approach to payroll is also significantly better. Keep in mind that the Wolves were bumping against the salary cap (weren't they a luxury taxed team for a year or two as well?) ... and still achieved nothing more than that one conference final appearance.

              The Twins have matched the T-wolves' most successful period with a vastly lower payroll relative to their peers. Now that the Twins have their new stadium, they'll spend more, but it still will mean they're a bit above average - they will never try to match the Yanks or Sox on the spending.

                I'll be not happy with them going one and done again if that time comes.

                Until then, as a certain Coah Tice once said, just enjoy the ride. It's going to be a fun summer (I hope).

                  Remember on Sunday, when I said something to the tune of "if we can't beat the god-awful Brewers, there's no chance we can beat the Yankees."

                  Yup.

                  But move along everybody. Nothing to see here.

                    No matter what happens the rest of the season, the twins did better against NYY than they did last year.

                    No, I don't think the Twins have a team that's likely to win the world series this year due to their #1/#2 starters not being lights out. But they still have a shot, and people saying they have no shot sound just as ridiculous as someone acting like they've already won the world series.

                    The cardinals won the 2006 world series with an 83-78 record that had two separate 8 game losing streaks in it. And you guys are already declaring the season over, the team a joke, management incompetent, etc etc etc. Really?

                        Well, that was mostly just nathan. But anyone saying the twins can't beat the yankees in a series is being silly as well.

                          I get upset that people are okay with another central title and a first round exit. "Well, they won a lot of series throughout the yeary!" "Oh, Joe Mauer!" "At least we made the playoffs!"

                            We're saying it's highly unlikely that they will.

                            Can you name the last time it happened?

                                I said it once, I'll say it again. Enjoy the season. It's all we have and all we're going to get.
