I was sure they were going to lose 100. So congrats, I guess.

By 10:00 p.m. CDT, Ronald Gardenhire should be relieved of his managerial duties...if not, it is a total travesty!!

Gardy and his coaches should be gone. Any player with b.a. less than Alexi should also be gone. Any pitcher with ERA over 5 should be gone. Dick Bremer should be gone. Anyone hear last visit to Texas? He sounded like a Texas "homer" -announcer for the Texas team. What an embarrassment. He should marry the Texas team.

Mauer and Morneau missed much of 2011. With both back this season, plus the acquisitions of sluggers Willingham and Doumit, they were a better team, winning three more games.

Finally, this horrendous season is over. This was shameful. Whoever dared to call this professional baseball is sadly mistaken and this bunch of light-hitting misfits should not be mistaken for a pro-baseball team. All I can say is "yuch." Good bye and good riddance. At least I don't have to worry about watching any of the post-season play because I don't give a r@t's behind about any of the teams in the playoffs. Time to give up baseball for good.

The Twins finish with a whimper. The first thing the Twins should do, is follow Seattle's lead and pull in those damn fences, particularly that right field fence, and fire the person who wanted them this way in the first place. What idiot would sign a player to a 180 million dollar contract, and then built a stadium to set him up for failure?
