And how many people are going to give him a pass and chalk it up to "Well, boys will be boys..."

I'm sure you are right

I went to the Twins game Saturday night with the Mrs. And you know what? I was thoroughly entertained, even though they lost. A bunch of young guys just out there playing their hearts out.

Everyone was hustling. No one was "conserving" their energy. Everyone swinging for the fences at every at bat, not trying to "bunt 'em over, boys!"

I expect when these guys come up for contracts the Pohlads will trade most of them away because they're not "The Hometown Boy". 

But for right now I was entertained.

I was there too - and there WAS one time Rosario didn't run out an infield grounder - so not everyone hustled. The one saving grace was the crowd for the most part boo'd that bogus effort

Yea, it doesn't make a lot of sense to me either.  Not dollars nor cents too.  If you're not providing a service then why do we have to pay for it?  We should all get a big rebate that way.  

For sure! The odd thing is...this has happened before, but never got more than a day or two. I can't remember the last Twins game I've seen...but this has been most of the summer! And now it bleeds into Wild season too. I suppose there's no way to prove to them we deserve a rebate being that we get a certain tier in order to watch Twins/Wild?

Yup - I have DISH and have not seen a Twins game for months - why do I still have to pay for FSN ???

Or more people went the online way at 1000 hrs so they could sleep in. But yeah, could be fans are taking a wait and see attitude with the team. 

And pay all those damned fees? 

Got great seats for the Habs tilt...and a "free" coffee and pastry ... And still made it to campus by ten to tailgate. WOW.

Lots fewer peeps in line than the last few years...very telling indeed?!!!

I thought the Wild were going to get a new alternate jersey this season. Turns out they aren´t getting it. 

 

Someone lied to me and im p****d

Pissed? Really? Any team that needs an alternate sweater has their site set on the wrong prize. Seriously?  Gimme a break. Good lord.

Works out perfectly...I can go there at 9 and still get on campus quickly to tailgate for the Rodents tilt. Thanks again for the heads-up @IllaZilla

attaboy - thanks!

Well, especially when there was a goaltender in I think their first season that was allowed to wear the number 1...Zac Bierk?

It should be taken down and reintroduced as a keeper's number

No, that's "Marketing Gimmickry 101..."

For an or-gan-EYE-ZAY-shun that has done countless lame things - THAT takes the cake.

And that’s the thing. No one on the Wild has ever won anything (except the Masterton).  I think it will be very interesting to see who wins in this Tug of War: the GM or the C and the A’s...

But wait - there's a #1 retired in the rafters - isn't that "winning"??

You can get singles on the Ticketmaster site, but it looks like they are all resales. I'm guessing it's STH's trying to make a little extra.

 

For the Habs game on 10/20 there are two tickets right next to the Habs bench...$499 per...

Yeah...I like to go down there and pick em out with a live human. I love their reaction when I say "I want two downstairs as close as possible, AND on the side of the ice the Habs shoot twice" ... That usually throws them for a loop

Now that you say it...I do remember going down to get them after first attending a Golden Rodent football game ... So I bet the second Saturday in Sept. is the date.

Looks like last season single game tickets went on sale mid-September (Sept 15). I'm guessing they'll do the same this season...if I see anything sooner I'll holler...

Thanks...I shoulda thought of that since I always go down there on the first day

Have not heard anything. Only pre-season singles available.

 

I'm guessing they are waiting to see how many season tickets/11 game packages they can sell before they offer up the individuals...

 

I think there will be plenty. Sounds like a lot of STH's dropped their tickets after last years debacle. And now companies can't write off season tickets like they used to be able to, so there's that...

Got it - thanks man

Anyone know when single game ducats go on sale to the public?

 I went and watched the replays on YouTube.  The fight didn't quite go like I remembered!  Or Tkachuk vs Dirty Claude.

I was just aboot to post the youtube   Totally in fun.  My damned memory ain't what it used to be either - by any stretch

Thanks for mentioning our only Beaver to have his name on the Cup  GO BEAVS!

PS I agree 100% with you and JR on the lack of passion in today's game

Isn't it a prerequisite to have once been "built" in order to "rebuild"

Interesting.  First off I'm a tiny bit surprised Adam Sandler would know who Jack Hughes is.  

He's a Rag$ fan so I am sure he was envious of Beelzebub

Sunday Matinee vs the Habs on Oct 20

oh...here's the rest:

Not Wilds draft related - but I'm listening to Adam Sandler on the Dan Patrick show right now and he (Sandler) mentioned he went to the Yankee game last night and added he was in a box with Jack Hughes and said he was "the nicest kid he's ever met"

Thanks Wilds, for passing on Caufield
