Ron Gardenhire is responsible for motivating these losers and should be run out of town with the rest of them.

I hope Billy Smith shows up to the State Fair. He has some explaining to do.

We need to stop going to games, watching them on TV and buying Twins stuff. Most professional athletes only care about the money and extending their careers. We can see this in Joe Mauer. We need to find players playing for the love of the game instead of money. The players who went from city to city on a bus. I know that sounds corny but this little Mauer experiement is pathetic.

Just think, Joe Mauer made more money sitting on the bench today than most us make working our butts off for 2 frigging years.

Zygi Wilf fired Childress after like what, 8 games of ineptitude after having gone to the NFC championship game the previous season. How long do we have to wait for Billy Smith and Gardenhire to be canned? Waiting... waiting... waiting... I can say one thing, until Smith is gone this team will not see one red cent from me.

Speaking of stiff, I feel for all the fans who have been stiffed that have laid out good money for their 2011 Target Field experience.

Seriously, the only reason that Target Field is as filled as it is, was last winters season ticket and individual game sales. Expect both to be down dramatically this coming winter. Come Spring Target field stands will look like safeco field or the bad days at the metrodome, until they give us a reason to come back.
