  1. The fuck is there to hope for as a Twins fan? Smidgens of belief smashed by heartbreaking loss after heartbreaking loss.

  2. About to only be up 1.5 games on Detroit. Don’t worry though, our playoff odds were 90 something percent a few weeks ago so there was nothing to worry about when this team had been playing like ass for weeks.

  3. Around the world and back again (to where we started, last place is the div).

    What a hellacious journey.

    I don’t believe in the “running out of gas” thing. All teams are tired. We are just getting beat.

  4. Royce Lewis needs to play better. Allows a run and can’t bring anyone in with the bases loaded. Maybe this past month will humble him a little…

  5. Don’t let the fact that the Twins blew this game to Cleveland distract you from the fact that the Royals blew a 4 run lead to Detroit and is currently down 1 in the 6th…

    Hahahahaha kill me

  6. The MLB scriptwriters seriously need to add some variety. This same story arc was already getting stale last year, can’t believe they’re doubling down.

  7. Zebby on the mound tomorrow. Royals just blew a 4 run lead to the Tigers. This is the lowest point of the season

  8. Struggling to find any reason to maintain interest in this team. They have failed me at nearly every turn this year.

  9. They don’t deserve to make the playoffs. And we can point fingers in every direction but the players just need to do better.

  10. The real question is when, not if Detroit leap frogs the Twins.

    Talk about teams going in opposite directions…

  11. I don’t think I’ve ever been this over the twins in my life and I stayed loyal in the dark times

  12. Same script, new night….. Maybe the Twins finishing behind Cleveland, KC, and Detroit will send a message that we can’t BS our way into a playoff spot because of our division.

  13. Dead inside. Absolutely dead inside. To watch a team for 6 months and pour your heart and soul into it just to be torn to shreds day in and day out in September.

  14. I’m more intrigued at the thought of watching Skubal v Astros than letting this team serve as fluffers for Houston’s 500th trip to the ALCS

  15. I’m 35 years old and the best memory I have was a flukey run to the ALCS in 2002. Every year the cheapness of ownership and lack of true stars is an issue. Good but never good enough.
