Walleye tacos it is!

The Twins have announced their new food vendor, Delaware North Companies Sportservice, for the new stadium and the couple of food items that really jump off the page are: walleye tacos, meatloaf, cheese curds (definately MN flavor), potato sliders, and some asian dishes.

I can picture myself blitz out of my mind, the hot sauce running out out of my walleye taco with the sun on my face and watching some balls float into the Minneapolis skyline. Damn it, when is this stadium going to be finished! I’ve got to put up with the indoor marshmallow and shitty food for two more years, 2010 can’t get here any sooner.

This just in…

Carl Pohlad in all his wisdom is pictured here waving goodbye to former Twins Johan Santana, Torri Hunter, and Joe Nathan.

This just in…Terry’s out!

This was posted today on the forum today and it’s just too shocking for me to not report it. I know I rarely post anything serious, that was what wwtrd was suppose to do but I gotta report this. Here is the excerpt from Star Tribune’s blog Randball article:

Terry Ryan will step down as Twins general manager and be succeeded by longtime assistant Bill Smith, according to three persons within the organization.
The Twins have called a 2 p.m. press conference today to announce a “major announcement’’ in the baseball department.

Ryan, 52, is completing his 12th season as general manager. The Twins have won the Central Division title in four of the last six seasons. He was Sporting News Executive of the Year in 2006, and is regarded as one of the top talent evaluators in baseball.

Smith, 49, has been with the Twins for 22 years. He has been vice-president/assistant general manager the last 13 seasons.

Ryan is expected to stay with the organization as a senior adviser, working with the scouting department.

As a longtime Twins fan and season ticket holder, I’m saddened by this. I feel like this might be caused by the lack of commitment to Terry to get players signed most notably financially. Not a good sign Twins fans. I guarantee that Terry will be snatched up by another ball club. I wonder what he could do with a team that will spend some more money? I can’t foresee him staying on as a “senior adviser” for long.

What are the Twins missing?

I guess it was inevitable that the Twins were going to get rid of Luis Castillo, Terry Ryan made it evident he would be gone by the end of the year.  So let the pawning of the ‘valuable’ players begin. 

Maybe what the Twins are missing is some ‘Marble Columns’.  I think if we got some ‘Marble Columns’ in the metrodome, we’d be set…I mean it wouldn’t hurt!  Maybe Dr. Morneau could hit the ball through our very own ’Marble Columns’.  SOMEBODY TELL TERRY RYAN TO GET SOME MARBLE COLUMNS!!! WE GOTTA GET OURSELVES SOME MARBLE COLUMNS!

It’s ok, he’s the MVP!!!

I guess they thought it would be ok if Morneau went first since he’s the MVP…I personally think it was a bad draw. Even my boy Gardy seemed to be having problems getting the ball across the dish. Gardy seemed to calm down after the break between hitters which included 4 chili cheese dogs, a PBR, and a box of crackerjacks.

I’ll be honest with you guys, I was just STARVING! I hope I didn’t throw Justin off! I thought that pizza I ate for breakfast would hold me down but you know how I get when I get worked up…I just burn calories. I needed some energy food!

It’s ok Gardy, Justin just couldn’t catch a groove…you my boy Morney…you my boy! Morneau’s former roommate Mauer, said that he’d have a snack pack pudding waiting for him with his name on it when he got home.

Too bad Pat…too bad

It’s a damn shame that our boy Pat Neshek didn’t get in the All-star game. Though it was a valiant effort by Twins fans everwhere we came up short. This kid’s got character though, he says he’ll continue keeping up the good fight and continue his world blogging domination.  All in all, this kids’ (Pat Neshek) a good kid.  We at PFO salute you goofy reliever Pat Neshek.  I believe even one of our staff writers has played against you in college, can any of you guess who that might be? At least we fellow bloggers can blog about Johan, Torri, and Morneau in the all star game.  A fellow blogger has told me that Dr. Morneau will be participating in the homerun contest. It’s been awhile since we’ve had anyone from the Twins participate in this contest, GO Dr. Morneau. 

Anyways, I thought the video mentioned in the NY times article was funny but here are a couple more that I found more funny.  Enjoy.

MMM…I think you’ll enjoy this, midweek mindboggler

This website is by far one of the best sites I’ve come across, the song makes me giggle like a immature little school boy…hehehe.  Jessica Alba at her finest, hehehe.  Also, try this online game out!  I think they have an IM program running while you play so you can chat with other gamers who are playing Kongregate.  I don’t think anyone has thought of this yet, have they?  This is almost better that Half-Life or WOW (world of warcraft for the lame man).  OR, how about this Albino Sheep game?  Gotta love these midweek mindbogglers!

 Twins note: What a game yesterday, it’s good to see a low scoring/extra-inning game every once in awhile.  Boy would you feel stupid if you left that game early, I mean seriously!!!  Hopefully Morneau will be back soon.  Nick Punto still smells!  I guess Gardenhire has been ejected from two games this week, nice work Gardy!

It’s a sweep bitches…

The twins sweep the Braves….hooray!  Down two nuts in the ninth the twins pulled out their rally monkeys and beat that junk baller Bob Wickman.  The dreaded piranhas wouldn’t go away and Redmond was smelling the game winning RBI.  Twins win…Twins win! 

In the broadcasting department, Marney Gellnar was just thrilled because she can actually do something for the post game report.  The Fox Sports Net producer started panicking because he couldn’t find Marney right away.  Steve Lloyd, FSN sports net producer, said he found Marney at the concession stand mowing down left over dome dogs with the legendary Yankees catcher Yogi Berra.  I said to Marney: 

What the hell are you doing the Twins have come back, THEY’RE BAAACK!  Get your ass out there and make magic Marney, make magic!

Marney embarassed that she had spilled mustard on her white shirt asked politely if Yogi had an extra napkin. Yogi replied no, but said that he could lick it off. Marney leaves disgusted but happy that she was able to get down 4 of 5 dogs beating the legendary catcher who put down 2.75 of his 5. Yogi replied, I’m old and I’ve got heart burn damn it.

Marney, I love you but sometimes you just need a little lift like a come from behind win to boost your performance for the day.  Marney is PFO’s announcer of the week.  Usually we favor Bert because he’s goofy and he’s been know to drop f bombs but today, Marney shines.  Go Marney!  You did good too Twins.

Nick Punto Slams Twins To A Win!

What the hell just happened.  The Twins were showing their usually impressive offensive today, when WHAM, Nick Punto goes yard.  Behind, Punto’s homerun the Twins pulled off a much needed win over the Anaheim /Los Angeles/ Englewood/ Long Beach/ Northern San Diego/ South Pacific Ocean Angels.  Someone kick me in the balls because I can’t believe what I just saw.  Let’s hope that Punto does not think he is a power hitter because god knows we don’t need more flyballs from the lad. 

 Notes:

 Congratulations to Kevin Slowey, you popped your major league win cherry today.  KUDOS (I hate this word, my boss loves it).

If Punto’s homerun wasn’t enough of a suprise, then Jason Bartlett hit a BOMB to left.  Maybe Jason Giambi was selling his HGH at a clearance rate, and some desperate Piranahas could not resist. 

Still Bitching in the Big Chi

It has been a while since I have posted, but one thing has bothered me since the Twins sweep of Chicago, that the White Sox can’t take being beaten by the Twins. One of my most hated Bitch Sox is one Sun-Times writer Joe Cowley. “>Read this article from May 12 last year.

O.K. The Twins came back and won the division and the White Sox fell apart last year. So I and probably many Twins fans decided to remind Mr. Cowley of his article. Here is this smug little assholes response. Note that this man writes for a major paper in Chicago and he banters with fans from other teams, a true professional at his craft. So here is my email to this clown. (Now I admit its quite childish, but hell I’m not the professional writer here.)

Dear Joseph,

Ever heard of of a thing called a jinx. YOU JUST JINXED YOUR FAVORITE LITTLE BASEBALL TEAM. How about the Joe Cowley curse!!! May I remind you that the division is not won in early May. Also, the Twins actually have a farm system in which they don’t have to BUY players. I think you should eat some crow and actually write an article admitting your wrong. Then I might have some respect for you as a sports journalist. Until then I think I will remind you daily about your article. SLEEP TIGHT! PLAYOFFS BABY!!! FOUR OUT OF FIVE YEARS!!!!! HOW DO YOU LIKE THEM APPLES!!!! I’VE WITNESSED TWO WORLD SERIES IN MY LIFETIME!!!!
ROGERS PARK TWINS GUY

Now here is this ass-clowns response. He never owned up once, and he then claims he only cheers for one team. Notice how he had to include the other sports.

xxxx,

First of all, not from Chicago. The only team I cheer for is the Pittsburgh Steelers. And yes, four out of five years your team has been in the postseason. And, wait, how many World Series rings did they get out of those?

I’m glad you’ve witnessed two World Series in your life. If that is true, then you also witnessed the city of Chicago winning a Super Bowl, a World Series and six NBA Championships. Ouch! Then again, the Gophers did win some college hockey thing that no one cares about.

JC

Here is my response which he did not reply too.

Joe

How about I actually like the Bulls, and grew where Phil Jackson grew up. So MY team actually won. GOT ME THERE. How about the Bears actually winning a playoff game in the last 12 years? At least the Twins made the playoffs buddy. You can’t buy tickets to watch Mark Beurhle sit in a tree stand.

Now you would think this man would just quit being a smarmy little bitch, but on Friday he wrote this article. Two days after the Twins swept the White Sox, and his little team of bitches were have quite a time handling those dreaded Toronto Blue Jays.

You would think this man would just quit being a whiny bitch, but no. Well, that’s Chi Town for you! BOO HOO HOO.  Joe Cowley can be reached at: jcowley@suntimes.com

Here’s what some other people are saying about Cowley:
Results Disoriented

Twins Notes:

Apparently the Twins have caught a case of the ass bats while on the west coast.

Where have you gone Joe Mauer? How about you just kick Punto out of the two hole (and in the balls), and get over the case of the pussitis. I have talked to the Twins trainers and they recommend some vagisil. Just kidding Joe is the man.

Well, last time I checked Nick Punto still sucks.

Peace,
