You know, I can take losing seasons when you see guys playing their hearts out! Like back in the day. I HATE this team! Over paid, soft and much less fundamentals then in the past! Some people like the GM and the Coach have to be held accountable!!

I have been a huge Twins fan for almost 30 years, and we had a horrible run in the 90's with some bad, bad teams, but never before have I been this angry with the complete lack of effort. Even in the lean years, I enjoyed going to the Dome, and seeing the over-matched kids do their very best, and every now and then pull one out. It is just impossible to pull for this team, there is just no fight in these millionaires, they all got paid, and they all got complacent, and it starts with Gardy. BOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!

Gardy is gonna HAVE to crack the whip in spring training. Another lousy start next will likely cost him his job. Based on division strenght the Twins can easily win the division next year but there won't be much patience for a lousy start relying on the frequent come-from-behind division championships that have occurred. Some faith has been lost here. And the fanbase is quite down on the guy that CAN be fired......the manager.
