You know I'm just razzing you Greebs. You have solid takes on the Twins and sports in general for sure and your insight is much appreciated. Cuddyer could be the worst clutch hitter in the game the numbers just don't lie.

For any one else I may have offended my apologizes I'm just trying to have some fun and I know it doesn't come across that way all the time.

Go Twins!

One bad inning, the rest of the game wasn't too bad tonight. Is it me or is that Napoli guy Sid Ponsons long last identical twin??? Both chubby and they both got the grease drippin' off their mullets, look an awful lot alike as well. Weird!!

Hey pierbridge wasn't A-Rod before last years playoff's the worst clutch hitter with Barry Bonds of all time ? JK, I know Cuddy and his solo shots when we're down 9-0, he's had a few good ones lately. My favorite Cuddy is when he and mauer see Thome dressed like Paul Bunyan and cuddy hacks out that vodka, I mean water and points the laundry guy to the clubhouse. I know exactly what you mean but I will give him the benefit of the doubt as he's about as quality of a person that plays in the bigs and with him or without him we'd be no closer to winning it all anyway, at least he doesn't get bilateral leg weakness, no wonder he's tired filling in for all the twins carcasses on the DL. smile

I have followed the Twins for the majority of my life and this past 2 weeks has really suprised me.

With all the key players injured and the way the starting pitching and the hitting was going, I was truely ready to give them up for dead.

I have no idea how this season will turn out but they sure have started to make this interesting for sure.

The starting pitching as of late has been great and the bullpen has been doing a pretty good job also.

My question is, when Span and Kubel get back, do we start Young or do we keep Revere in. He has been hitting pretty good and he can really run those balls down and make some awesome catches. The one issue I see with Revere is his arm throwing in from the outfield.

Yes, Delmon has been around alot longer but the lack of hussle seems to be an issue as of late along with his bat.

If and when Mauer can get his bat going and Morneau and Thomes get back, they could make a run for the division. We also need a few others to crank it up like Cassila has.

I guess one can never count the Twins out in thier division.

Delmon's bat which as expected is coming around lately will be in the line-up one way or another. You can book that. Other than that I agrre with most of your post.

I don't see us catching Detroit but we are fun to watch and anything can and will happen in baseball!

I see Revere as our center fielder. Span to left and Young as trade bait for a reliever.

I agree DonBo. Young seems to not hustle on some plays and Revere is always going full throttle. He can bat as well or so it seems at this pooint and may run faster on the bases.

It's a no brainer for me to have Revere in the outfield and sit Young down.

They should have sat Delmon a looooooooong time ago. He is horrible!!! He must be gaining some of that wieght back that he lost before last season and he is fat and happy at his $3.5 mil a year.

I'm certainly not sold on Revere at this point but he has shown some potential. I would think Cuddyer who's stock is as high as ever would be a good trade value at the present time. We just aren't going to be able to pay him the money he will command even at a home town discount with the way our payroll is these days.!

I don't see any possible way we are going to give up Delmon for a reliever.

Gardy and the entire Twins organization love Cuddy. I believe he'll be a Twin till he retires. With all the holes he's been able to fill over the years he's pretty valuable to the Twins. Besides his defense, right now he's one of just a couple real threats on offense. Be silly to let that go IMHO.

That would be a disgrace to baseball to have someone with Cuddy's numbers make an allstar team

I completely agree. Revere is much better defensively in CF than Span is. I guarantee that the collective BABIP for our entire pitching staff would drop significantly if we were able to get Delmon out of the field.

I still prefer Span in Center over Revere he catches the ball just as good and his arm which is much more important in center blows Reveres away, actually Revere doesn't have an arm to begin with. But then again Span is much more versatile so it wouldn't be the end of the world if Gardy goes against what he said he was going to do. I don't get caught up in short term samplings and couple of nice catches is my point.

So who would you send to the All Star Game Sled?

Before Kubel got hurt, I thought he was the only Twin that deserved a shot at the All Star game, obviously that's not going to happen now. With the utility spot now part of the game, Kuddy seems to be the only other player on the team that makes any sense.

I have been following them probably longer than you have been on this earth Sled.

Unless you are 50, I have been watching them longer.

My grandma has been watching the twins since their inception, but the other day she asked me why Jesse Crain hasn't been Pitching.

If I was over 50, that would make my grandma REALLY old

Will Mauer get in just because of who he is??? If not, I'd say by process of elimination, Cuddy would be the last Twin standing.

IMO, anyone on the Twins that is .030 avg and 9 RBIs ahead of Delmon and plays everyday deserves a shot..

      thats great to hear regarding the lake levels!!!!!!
    • Kettle
      On an off light precipitation today. Hoping the weather this weekend will be nice so I can get out and crappie fish and check the weather. My yard has standing water and the driveway is a mess. Lot of lakes are near standard water levels which is good. Heard they are done stripping eggs on cut foot. Shaping up to be a good opener. Last year fished open water 60+ days and 28 different lakes. Hopefully bump both those numbers up this year
    • rundrave
      I don't think its 100% accurate, you are just relying on other average joes to report precipitation. But I think most numbers there are right in the ball park, especially when you see consistency among multiple reports in a general area.   It's probably more accurate than what the weather terrorists say on the news  which usually only reports metro areas. cocorahs is good for getting rural area reports you just might not have as many reports to go off of

      i like this site!!!!!  👍 thanks rundave......its in my favorites!!!!!!

      Thanks Mike.  I've been looking at bags of it for years but never wanted to chance wasting good meat on it.  I have a gas and charcoal grills, but really love the flavor of charcoal over gas. Most of the time it's if we have time to use one or the other.

      On the south end...   The big open water, otherwise known as Big Traverse Bay, is ice free.  The bays and tributaries of LOW such as Zippel Bay, Bostic Bay and Four Mile Bay are ice free as well.  The lake is in good shape for the MN Fishing Opener on May 11th. The many bays and backwaters of the lake have been receiving attention from spring pike anglers.  Some pike have already entered the bays, spawned and gone back out to the lake, but there are still a pile of fish to be had.   The pike season on LOW is open year round. The limit is 3 pike per day with one fish allowed more than 40 inches. All fish 30 - 40 inches must be released. On the Rainy River...  Another great week sturgeon fishing on the Rainy River.  The bite has been very good and lots of fish of all sizes are being boated.     Sturgeon are being caught from Four Mile Bay at the mouth of the Rainy River all the way to Birchdale, about 42 miles.  There are many boat ramps along the river to make life easy.  Starting from the east going west...   -Nelson Park at Birchdale (About 30 miles east of Baudette) -Frontier (9 miles west of Birchdale) -Vidas (Near Clementson Rapids) -Timbermill Park (East Baudette) -Peace Park (International Drive, Baudette) -Wheeler's Point (mouth of Rainy River)  The sturgeon season continues through May 15th and resumes again July 1st.   Oct 1 - April 23, Catch and Release April 24 - May 7, Harvest Season May 8 - May 15, Catch and Release May 16 - June 30, Sturgeon Fishing Closed July 1 - Sep 30, Harvest Season If you fish during the sturgeon harvest season and you want to keep a sturgeon, you must purchase a sturgeon tag for $5 prior to fishing.    One sturgeon per calendar year (45 - 50" inclusive, or over 75"). Up at the NW Angle...  The Angle is ice free.  Resorts are gearing up for the fishing opener which is expected to be excellent.  The late ice bite was very good and the walleyes are in good numbers amongst the islands area of the NW Angle.
