It's not exactly Connie Mack territory, but if Gardy manages the duration of his current contract, the Twins will have had just two managers over almost a quarter century.

In Response to 2008-09 Game 9: Wolves @ Nuggets,
ubelmann wrote: That seems completely reasonable on general grounds. In a similar vein, it seems like Love is being woefully underutilized. From 82games, the team is doing slightly better than average with Love on the…Whiffers wrote: His cluelessness on the defensive end keeps him off my list. Damn good post player though, no doubt; he's quick, strong, and creative.
SBG wrote: There you have it. Up by nine with about 6 minutes left, lose by six. That sound you hear is the remaining fan base slowly backing away from this club.
SBG wrote: I think BAJ has some smarts. Doesn't move his feet much on defense, but he's got a very polished low post game.

Whiffers wrote: This has nothing to do with anything that is happening on the court right now, but I was thinking about the mythical "basketball IQ" and the Wolves. This was after watching Brewer run like…
SBG wrote: Great shot on TV. Wolves have kicked this away. Billups on the line. In the background McCan't pointing at his flexed bicep. Heh.
SBG wrote: Randy Wittman not a reader of the WGOM. Four shots for Miller tonight.
E-6 wrote: 17-2 run for DEN. Way to close it out, fellas.
In Response to Twins Prepare To Offer Blake Contract; Upset, Ubes, Gleeman, All Other Fans, Too.,
ubelmann wrote: Yeah, and I'm still disappointed that Everett's shoulder soiled that little experiment. It would have been fun watching him when he was at the top of his game. He's pretty much toast at…E-6 wrote: I, too, got the impression Gardy didn't like Harris at short. I kinda gathered he wasn't crazy about Harris wearing a mitt, period. It's got to hurt the manager watching his team downgraded defensively. I…
ubelmann wrote: I think that's just as bad. I suspect that Casilla is a worse defender at SS than he is at 2B, and while Harris would see fewer opps/game at 2B, he's probably worse there…
E-6 wrote: Agreed that Harris at SS is a disaster. What of the talk moving Casilla to short and Dirty Harry to second? Will that be any better? The locals have a log-jam of defensive (sub) mediocrity…
