Lets not all pat the boys on the back just yet wink The Angels had a bad night, Starting pitching wasn't what it should have been. Good old Hunter helped the twinks when he went down flat on his face alowing a couple runs to score.

True enough, I was trying to check cbs power ranking and 30th isn't so bad ? I had no clue who the 3 middle relievers were ? Glad T Hunt kissed the wall, we need some karma. Do you guys sense we don't have that true home field adv. not that every stadium has that but compared to the dome ?

NO I don't ....I thought we put that baby to rest the 1st year we played at Target field and had the best home record in the league. It's more about the players and not traveling then it was about the old Dome field advantage MYTH that everybody was brain-washed into thinking we had.

158 - 4 after last night grin or more like their 1 - 4 pace to finish with only 32 for the year?

I predict more injuries and the run for a hun will be completed with minimum of 2 weeks left in September. 135 and a major league record in play depending how signifigant the injuries.

I'd classify losing Blackie as a big loss. Hope it's a minor ailment but Twins track record with pitching injuries, or injuries in general for that matter, would leave one to bet the other way.

Guess no one told Willingham that Target field is hard to hit the ball out of....

maybe its NOT the field.....hmmmmmmm

First it was the deep center field,

then it was the trees in center field,

then it was, who knows what.

It's all excuses. The Twins play small ball. It's the "Twins way".

I think that there would be many more home runs hit at Target field if any other team called it home because most other teams don't play the "Twins way".

Example, second game in the new ballpark one of the smaller players in the game had no problem sending a ball out of park, Pedroia. The Twins problem is skill level and coaching, not the park.

Agreed. It's only the second time through the rotation but he was their best starter on the first rotation, maybe the second as well.

Hopefully it is nothing serious.

LEN3 tweets that mri shows no serious damage. Speculation that he may make his next scheduled start. Not sure what to read into the no serious damage part. Fails to mention who evaluated the mri also. Training staff hasn't earned high marks over the years.

I don't think the trainers would have anything to do with reading the MRI, that would probably be done by a doctor, a specialist.

You do realize there is a team Dr. ? Part of the training staff.

I was just doing some quick math and it looks like I gave the Twins a little too much credit when I said they would finish 60-102. At the rate they are going now, they are on pace to win a whopping 43 games this year. I dont think it can stay this bad all year, so I'll give them the benefit of the doubt and go with 50-112. This team is really a disgrace.

And to all the guys saying that Gardy needs to go...I dont think a guy like Tony LaRussa or Joe Torre could win with these clowns!!!

I think the whole upper management needs to be shown the door for thinking they could use these guys and put a winner on the field.

We're looking worse than that Detroit team that I'm sure we were chuckling about and thought we'd never be that bad, well knock on wood we look sick, in the dug out, on the bases if anyone gets on, on the hill, on-deck, in the bull pen, etc. We got a lot of decent 8 and 9 hitters. Thank heavens for i-pods, DS's, etc. or these guys might actually have to talk to one another on the flights to and from where we're getting pounded. I could care less if we lose every game really...I want to see some freakin enthusiasm for the game of baseball, all these guys need to reflect back to being that all-star babe ruth league player or on the traveling team or the stud high school player, they need to find "it" again and simply forget how ugly it is, they are a really dull group to watch play, bring back Carlos Gomez,Punto,Thome,Cuddy, at least somebody with a pulse. Sorry, but forget the money, contracts,etc. just go play for fun for the love of the game, quit letting the game eat you guys up, go swing from the heals a few times, all these defensive swings are tappers to the mound or two hoppers to 2nd. Find yourself and maybe a team will surface out of it.

Marquis Has been designated for reassignment so he's gone. You know the pitching staff is in trouble when you have your catcher throwing harder than any of the starting five.

      Problems with Yetti

      By rundrave · Posted

      got this tackled today took about 3 hours to get both sides done. Didnt even get to use a torch....   Thought I was golden with just jacking it up and I could get to everything but no luck. Had to remove the entire axle hub and brake assembly to get to what I needed. Was a pain but still better then taking off the entire pivot arm.    Axle bearings were already greased and in great shape thankfully. Got both leaf springs installed and its ready for the road again.   Probably going to have my electric brakes checked, I am not touching anything with the brake drums. Based on what I saw it doesn't look like my electric brakes have been working anyway. Brakes are nice to have if its slippery out

      It’s done automatically.  You might need an actual person to clear that log in stuff up.   Trash your laptop history if you haven’t tried that already.

      we had some nice weather yesterday and this conundrum was driving me crazy  so I drove up to the house to take another look. I got a bunch of goodies via ups yesterday (cables,  winch ratchet parts, handles, leaf springs etc).   I wanted to make sure the new leaf springs I got fit. I got everything laid out and ready to go. Will be busy this weekend with kids stuff and too cold to fish anyway, but I will try to get back up there again next weekend and get it done. I don't think it will be bad once I get it lifted up.    For anyone in the google verse, the leaf springs are 4 leafs and measure 25 1/4" eye  to eye per Yetti. I didnt want to pay their markup so just got something else comparable rated for the same weight.   I am a first time wheel house owner, this is all new to me. My house didn't come with any handles for the rear cables? I was told this week by someone in the industry that cordless drills do not have enough brake to lower it slow enough and it can damage the cables and the ratchets in the winches.  I put on a handle last night and it is 100% better than using a drill, unfortatenly I found out the hard way lol and will only use the ICNutz to raise the house now.
