Minnesota Twins More Focused on Cars Than Winning

Recently I received an email from the Minnesota Twins marketing department.  While I would love to feel as if I was the only one subjected to the silliness enclosed, the email was issued to all Twins fans with emails currently in the Twins database.  The idea that the survey enclosed in the email is real, well it’s just hard to believe.

So let’s take a step back, pick your jaw up off the floor, and let’s get through this together.  The Minnesota Twins currently have 78 losses.  Hitting 90, needing only 12 more with the entire month of September left, looks to be a very doable feat.  Minnesota’s highest priced free agent acquisition Ricky Nolasco, has an ERA out of the stratosphere.  But here we are, comparing the Twins brand to car companies.

Terry Ryan, I get it, you’re cleaning up Bill Smith‘s mess.  Ron Gardenhire I get it, you’re dealing with a lack of talent.  Minnesota Twins, you don’t get it, let’s not go down the road of comparisons; I promise for your sake, you don’t want to know where that leads.
