Baserunning gaffes, costly stumbles, pop-up miscues -- the Twins are getting more creative in their futility on the field.

This has got to be the worst professional team I've ever seen in my entire life. They should go back to playing in the dome just out of principle.

Send Plouffe down NOW! That experiment failed last year, admit it and move on!

Many experiments have failed....it's a travesty to call them a major league ball club. Gardy still doesn't have a clue on what to do. Why isn't Joe back there catching?

It's "automatic" double in this case, not "ground rule."

At some point, you've just got to let the broken musical chairs stop. When does this display of complete futility finally result in the the loss of jobs on the people who should be held most accountable, the coaches?

BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

It's also difficult to use that speed if you can't get on base, isn't it? This is a AAAA roster again already this year. I feel bad for Span and Willingham.

Most ridiculous line of the night was when Robbie asks Rasmus why he thinks Toronto plays so well at Target Field. Duh. Cause they are playing the Twins, Robbie.

Did I say that this terrible team would be lucky to win 40 games? I meant 30. Pathetic!

Hey, ho, Gardy's gotta go ...

Poll: Should baseball expand instant replay?

Weekly Question

Yes, too many mistakes are being made
