Does anyones opinion change if the Twins lose in 5? or 4?<br /><br />Is it the fact that they got their butts handed to them by the yankees the issue or just that they couldn&#39;t make it out of the first round?Daymonsterhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16832485378852569696noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5801768329447624769.post-58747495000811026742010-10-11T17:23:18.324-05:002010-10-11T17:23:18.324-05:00The fact that Gardenhire will not be fired is all you really need to know about the Minnesota Twins organization. In any other market around baseball he would have been released years ago. Getting to the playoffs is all the front office cares about in the heart of Mediocrity. However, this year the fans are mad as hell and are not going to take it anymore. Remember Target Field was built by the fans.<br /><br />What happens to a team that lets Pavano, Hardy, Hudson, Kubel, Fuentes, Crain, Guerrier, and Rauch go from the roster. The answer is simple you turn into the Cleveland Indians. Once target Field wears out it&#39;s welcome the fans will stop coming to the games.

I thought Gardy did a fine job with the in game decisions, but I question how overwhelmed this team looks every post season. You can make the case, well the Yanks are better on paper and they&#39;re just a better team. <br /><br />But like we talked about, there&#39;s nobody on this team that says, &quot;if it&#39;s the bottom of the 9th with two outs and we need a run, I want the bat in my hands.&quot; Instead, these players see Rivera warm up and go &quot;oh geez, here we go again.&quot;<br /><br />87 Tigers were expected by everyone to roll the Twins but the opposite happened. Hrbek, Puckett, Bert, Gladden, etc. all had that killer instinct mentality that I do not see in any current Twin. Perhaps Morneau has that but until he plays in another playoff series we&#39;ll never know.<br /><br />It&#39;s common that the best team on paper doesn&#39;t win the world series, chip chair and a chance. I personally blame BOTH players and Gardy, but like you said, there&#39;s no point in discussing this since he inked the extenstion. blah.bizmarkie507http://www.blogger.com/profile/02338087361037043540noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5801768329447624769.post-50650849209130456632010-10-11T12:54:14.396-05:002010-10-11T12:54:14.396-05:00I&#39;m completely fine that bronxboi hasn&#39;t chimed in with a guest post yet.
