Larry Hisle - 50 best Twins

[toughguy]

Is it just me or was this guy extremely annoying when they had him in the booth with Richard and Bert in the 4th. He answered every question with "well Bert......" Between that and the tone of his voice I had to turn down the volume. I'd rather listing to those soccer horns. Maybe I'm just in a weird mood. My wife agreed with me but she's a little weird too.

And when they were getting all sad about the trades and breaking up the team, wasn't it because the players wanted too much money? Or was that later?

To me this whole idea has been dumb so far. Alot of these guys played one season here, or a bunch of very very very mediocre seasons here and are still on the list. Should have a top 10 and thats it. I love the Twins to death, but we aren't the Yankees.

Paul Molitor? Come on. "he got his 3,000th hit in a Twins uniform" So what!!!

Totally agree Zamboni. Another thing that irked me was that Larry was in the booth as a 50 best Twin and he wore a Brewers shirt. I know he was a Brewer too and it was at Miller Park but come on. They should have kicked him off the 50 best team and replaced him with Punto on the spot just for the shirt alone.

I totally agree- I am 31 years old and until last night had never heard of larry Hisle. And with Molitor, you know they were going for the feel good story-local guy who had a GREAT career, and a few ok/good seasons with the Twins. Being in the 50 bestTwins isn't quite as big a deal as the 50 best Yankees

Toughguy I agree with you 100 percent. And yes I am a bit wierd myself but my goodness was he tough to listen too. It didn't help that the twins were loosing but man that was a long half inning.
