Twins tailspin...

Well, I don't even know what to say…

The Twins are in a complete free fall, and I can’t even blame it on Gardy.

I used to be able to pin nearly %50 of our losses on him, whether it be a bad call because of his constant umpire badgering, or his misuse of personnel, or his misuse of the pitching staff.

I always thought we were one dunce manager away from going to the next level.

And I want to point out one thing: I ask all real baseball fans if they think Gardy is a good manager, I see nobody stepping to the plate (as it were) in his defense.

I don’t ever remember any conversation with anyone, who said: “boy, Gardy made some good moves tonight that won us the game.”

Is there anyone besides Terry Ryan who thinks Gardy is up to the task?

In my circles, I don’t hear from anyone, repeat anyone, who thinks he’s a top flight skipper.

And this is what pains me the most, because it’s easy to blame “The Blockhead” (hey, anyone who names his son Toby is admitting mental deficiency right there), but right now I can’t.

We were just swept in 3 games by the Tigers by a score of 33-1.

This can not be laid on the Mgr’s doorstep because he made a bad move, this has to go higher.

The most specious stat in today’s Mpls Star Tribune was this: the Twins lead the American League in fewest errors, 7 at the moment.

Ha! You don’t have an opportunity for an error when the ball leaves the park!

Terry Ryan was quite stoic on his radio show today, even though we’re 8 games back after only one month of play.

Hello?

This franchise is in a free fall! I know cadet teams that could beat them.

Mr. Ryan, unmoved continues on course, unfazed by the devastation surrounding him.

The only thing that keeps me from unloading on him, is that I attribute much of our pitching woes to the immortal & eternal enemy of baseball: Dr. Evil- Commissioner Bud Selig and his perfidious World Classic side show.

After watching the NFL draft this weekend, and watching the classy & dignified Paul Tagliabue, and then comparing him to the twitchy, insecure used car dealer Bud Selig; is it any surprise the NFL is the most popular pro sport in the land?
