It says on the front page of this blog:

"We strive to be the best Minnesota Twins blog by providing quality content and analysis, as well as daily news and notes on the team. "

As for this quote, I would like to say, "Well done lads." And, I think there is no doubt that your goal has been met once again. Thanks for bringing the Twins a little closer than 6500 frequent flyer miles away (many miles more if one flies Continental through Houston).

An additional thumbs up to all of the contributors who really do help to make this the best Twins blog.

Now let's win some postseason games.

This has been my first full Twins season away from MN, and this blog has been great. It is so refreshing to chat with people who not only know Twins baseball, but baseball in general. The blog has been my escape from hearing about all things Yankees and for that alone I owe you guys a ‘thank you’.

Appreciate

I appreciate this forum. A lot of good stuff, without so much snark and insults.

Same here.

Bravo guys! And I love the Stu addition too. You are all very talented and devoted!

I always loved that one.

Agreed

I guess I’m kind of an old-timer here, having been around since John Bonnes’ old TwinsTerritory.com, and I’ve always enjoyed both the writing (Jon’s Dave Barry-esque season preview is one of my favorite columns of the year anywhere) and the community. While it’s obvious that Jesse & Co. deserve credit for the former, I’d say that they also deserve some for the latter – the tone set by the folks in charge filters into the comment sections, and it’s no easy thing to foster a respectful yet spirited online community.

I would also like to point out that the Game Threads during getaway day games have been a huge detriment to my productivity at work, for which I am thankful.

Agreed with all of the above.

this place has been good fun this year…the contributors and commenters make games a lot more fun and entertaining to watch. Many thanks!

I have been here

since this was the old Twinkietown. My brother, CarterHayes, managed to get me to join and I don’t think I have regretted it. Jesse and all the Senior Writers are very good and most of the contributors to this blog are very fun to blog with.

Good job once again TwinkieTown!

Love it

This is great! The game threads alone made winning better and made me laugh when we lost.

Thanks!
