I was at the game tonight. I'm now 0 for 7. Two points I want to make. The Twins signed the wrong player from Japan and Trevor Plouffe is not the answer at third base. I will not be back until significant management and personnel changes are made.

3-16? That says it all and yet nothing changes...not satisfied with two 98+loss seasons Terry, Dave, Gardy and Jim? Then have another one next year. When is someone gonna get tired enough of this to do something? When?

Did you hear that Twins? Justthetruth is not spending his money on you till you spend on the product. Now, I just wanna watch baseball but he's embarassed by this sore of an excuse for a team so why aren't you guys?

Franklin Gutierrez not Carlos. Mariners have best defense, 3rd best pitching staff in American League. Worst hitting like last year too.

the bad news is that we're 19 1/2 games out in our division: the good news is that we're only 18 1/2 games out in the wild card. wahoo!

ISN'T IT TIME THAT MR. POLLAD CLEANS HOUSE? I MEAN FROM RYAN TO TOM KELLY (yes he is still running the team) TO GARDENHIRE AND THE COMPLETE COACHING STAFF. INCLUDE THE AAA FROM NY AND BRING IN NEW BLOOD FROM COMPLETELY OUTSIDE THE TWINS ORGANIZATION. MAYBE THAN, SOMEONE WILL TELL OUR LOCAL HERO (Mr. Mauer) TO LEAD THIS TEAM WITH THE SALERY HE HAS BEEN GIVEN, RAHER THAN TAKE A WALK WHEN WE NEED A HIT. I WILL ALWAYS BE A TWINS FAN, BUT WE NEED A MAJOR CHANGE..... NOW! NOT AT THE END OF THE SEASON.

This team needs...something. Like a complete overhaul, from the ownership on down.

Gardy and his familiars canned, Paul Molitor, Cuellar, and Brunansky hired. Imagine the joy. The rest of the season played out as a foundation for the next. Gardy and his guys can go battle in the Mexican leagues.

Until there are changes in the upper level of Twins management, we'll see continuous 90+ [or 100] loss seasons. Dave St. Peter simply MUST go. While Rome is burning he cheerfully talks All-Star game 2014. While the team [barely] wins 2 of 8 on the road he talks excitedly about some damn Pearson's candy bar promotion. Deflect + deny is what he learned @ corn-fed NDSU. He is, without question, a JOKE of a "president." Rob Antony and his weak and wavering voice is the next one. He is more useless than St. Pete ----if that's even possible. Gardy is not the problem--it is the front office people who must depart. Today. There is NO one in this organization ashamed of this team. No one. Only the fans--who, sadly, pay their salaries. Twins lose 90+? collect my check. Twins lose 100+? collect my check. The "Drive to 105" is happening, unfortunately. Pray for us. Pray hard.
