Some reconstruction was expected, but the Twins relievers are enduring painful lessons.

Anybody else thinking that the only way the twins tie that game up would have been a wild pitch to cuddyer?

I may boycott this team if I ever see Plouffe wearing a Twins jersey again. Gardenhire with his relentless babying of players has sunk this team. Why Nishi & Mauer aren't playing is just baffling. This team is such an embarrassment.

Well, no late-inning collapse like we're used to, but still another loss you can chalk up to shoddy defense up the middle and a bullpen that is beyond pathetic. Was JJ Hardy really so bad we had to swap him for Hoey? Sad sad sad.

Yeah, when I saw Cruddyer coming up, I knew we'd lose. But, he's one of Gardy's boys.

17 games below .500 before June. Really is there anything else that needs to be said? It's as sad as it is pathetic. Wow!

I wonder if we will see any quotes from Cuddyer about why he failed again in a clutch situation? Of course not. He is a media favorite. We go to him for quotes on everything else, but never about his own personal performance.

So the only game the Twins won this weekend was the one in which Gardenhire was ejected in the 6th inning, and thus had no bearing on the rest of the game...read into this what you will...
