That the Minnesota Twins would be this bad this year.  Coming into the season, most expected them to compete for the AL Central crown again.  Instead, they are now the worst team in baseball and falling fast.  It seems the team has no direction and is definitely lacking leadership from the stars.

It has been a very frustrating year.  When the pitching is good, the hitting is bad.  The couple of games the hitting has been productive, the bullpen or starters were horrible.  The big guys can't seem to get it going, and they can't be leaders when they are struggling.  And Delmon is horrible right now.

Typical MN team. They get your hopes up and make you think they are building something great. Then the next year no one even shows up. I don't get it. And how is Mauer hurt as often as he is? It's ridiculous already.

Just read the headlines that Harmon Killebrew passed away this morning.  Sad day for baseball fans and especially Twins fans.

My father used to pitch batting practice for all home games during the mid to late 60's for the Twins and Harmon was at the house a couple of times, not to mention the times at THE OLD MET. He was a warm great person. I was only 12 at the time and was in awe.
Oh by the way Killebrew could crush my dads curve ball, but my father owned Bob Allison.

We shall miss you Harm.

It really is hard to believe the twins are the worst team in baseball. Its hard to believe we are doing worse then Kansas City.

Need to get Thome back. Then Mauer and Morneau need to step it up.

Our defense is doing well but we need to scrap the entire bull pen.

This season started out with injuries and kept mounting. Nothing was going right. Yes the bullpen hasn't been the best, but the starters haven't shined either. Lack of offense is also to blame. With all of the injuries to key players, they have no choice but to put on the field a bunch of AAA players. There is a reason they are down at AAA. Not quite ready to play with the big boys.
So they will improve once everyone is healthy again. ( that is still aways away).
There record will improve when we get heathy. Also look for the pitching to pick up.

I will agree with part of that, so long as you don't blame Gardy. He hasn't had much to work with.

Yeah having a bunch of no name AAA players that can't hit to save their lives doesnt help.

Gardy has done well with what has had to work with and thru.

Once our starters heal and get back to normal strength things will start going better.

Someone on the radio was saying the Twins will be 500 or better by the all star break. Lets hope.

Did anyone watch or attend the memorial service for Harmon. I thought it was pretty well done and I liked the Jim Thome part.

I watched it and yes I had 3 ears of corn last nite. Not to bad from Rainbow.

Thanks for the memories Harm.

I'm just saying, it's always the same story around here. So Mauer signed that gigantic contract and what does he play now? 2 or 3 games a month if lucky??

No I totaly understand Shane. I wonder if Mauer would give back some since he is a walking wounded veteran. He can still make those commercials though.

 Twins need the come ons with the hometown boy,same with Kirby when he was here,they would never trade him.They trade so many for the $$$$ and always start with a AAA team, after building a competive team they trade and start over,WHY?? well the $$$$$
