I Demand a Ron Gardenhire Twitter Account

As you may be aware, Ozzie Guillen is on the Twitter. Ken Williams ("No comment…and make sure you write that it is a no comment with a head shake from side to side") sounds like he is already on Joe Don Baker's Pepto-and-whiskey diet from Cape Fear, and I fully expect this to destroy the White Sox organization faster than if they brought back their 1970s shorts jerseys (pictured).
However, it does make me yearn for Ron Gardenhire to follow the lead of Pat Neshek and Denard Span and try his hand at the Twitter. After all, Gardy also has a temper, and isn't shy about expressing his opinion (see also: Wendelstedt, Hunter) even when holding his tongue would be the better course of action for his wallet. I imagine it would look something like this:
getafteritgardy: hey guys, I'm on the damn Twitter now. @thisisdspan and @PatNeshek talked me into it.
thisisdspan: @getafteritgardy awesome! You talk Andy into signing up yet?
getafteritgardy: @thisisdspan nah, he's busy combing his spring mustache, and now Mijares says he won't pitch at home till Dome Dogs R back LOL.
lewfordthewise: hey, @getafteritgardy, if ur not 2 busy, can you put in a good word for me w/Cincy?
getafteritgardy: @lewfordthewise WTF u pull yourselff away from Warcraft world to get to spring training? SMH
poutineanddingers: sup guys, it's Morneau. Looking 2 take some swings this wknd, anyone around?
PatNeshek: no way, dude. Im only pitching 2 u in August and September LOL.
poutineanddingers: STFU
getafteritgardy: @PatNeshek @poutineanddingers knock it off, idiots.
thisisdspan: holy s---, you guys get a look at Delmon yet? Dude looks like Jenny Craig ROFL.
thebeardabides: The Beard likes what it sees. Still runs like he's tiptoeing thru a minefield tho
thisisdspan: you makin fun of someone else running, Kubel? HAHAHAHAHA
thebeardabides: The Beard doesn't appreciate your attempt at humor. The Beard has a long memory.
thisisdspan: whatevs
getafteritgardy: alright guys, that's enough of that horsecrap. @ozzieguillen just asked me if I had wrestlemania tix, anyone got any?
LNPGETMONEYGETPAID: SURE THING, BOSS! YOU WANT SOME, BOSS?
getafteritgardy: whoa, settle down, Nicky.
LNPGETMONEYGETPAID: SORRY BOSS, JUST KEYED UP FOR THE SEASON! LET'S GOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
getafteritgardy: judas priest.

My only wish
is that Mauer would have responded to Mourneau saying he already had plans with his NEW fave teammate. Then we could see Justin’s emoticon capabilities.

damn….look at the thighs on that guy. I think that’s the sole reason for the booty short uniforms. Intimidation factor +250

"that guy"
is Ozzie Guillen.

That is so not Ozzie Guillen.

sacrilege
I apologize to the AL Central Gods. I will atone.

BWAHAHA
Even a little return of Lew Ford humor!

The beard isn't a friendly entity?

silly me ...
As I was reading it, I thought “the beard” would be Mauer.
While we’re demanding Twitter accounts …. Joe’s P.A. should get one & keep us posted.
Poutineanddingers
hahaha – though isn’t he from BC, not QC?
Still, I’m not going to quibble about details. That was hilarious.
Thanks...
for a great waste of time with that not so entertaining blog. Slow day in the news dept? Couldn’t find anything else more news worthy to report on?
You're right.
How dare us have any fun around here.
Nice to see you signed up just to make this comment, btw. Remember the rules you agreed to play by when signing up? Play by them. And try to enjoy yourself.
Um, ok, fun?
BTW no didn’t see any rules posted. I am quite a frequent reader of these blogs and have, for the most part, enjoyed them. Am also quite an avid YahooSports follower, of which your is where your guys’ blog are located. But a story of wanting Gardy to have a twitter account. Just seems like there could be something a little more interesting. But if you’d like, I can quit following the blog posts. Guess I’d figure if one was getting paid to write blogs for Yahoo, they could at least have some form of relevance to the sport. Or perhaps I am confused as to what blogging is about.
"Getting paid" isn't really accurate
if you’re talking about the compensation we get here. And we have a partnership with Yahoo!, but we don’t write for them. We write for SB Nation.
When you signed up for membership for this blog, you should have seen this phrase:
"By joining this community, you recognize that this blog is about the Twins and baseball—not politics, religion, or anything besides baseball. You will refrain from trolling, personal attacks and posting an argument you cannot or refuse to defend. This is a community: passionate and heated debate is expected and encouraged, but know where to draw the line.
Don’t be mean, and have fun."
Blogging is a fan service. We’re not a site that posts news, you can go anywhere for that. This site is for discussion, and some of my writers are a little irreverant and have fun with what they do, and I support that.
If you want topical Twins news from us, there’s plenty to choose from. We’ve talked about spring training battles, we’ve had a Q&A with the Twins assistant GM, we’ve talked about Jose Mijares and his getting stopped at the airport because of hairgel, we’ve had lots of stuff about the Twins’ farm system…and that’s just this week.
You can quite following this blog if you want, or you can go on reading it. But if you think posts like this are a waste of time, then you probably shouldn’t waste even more of your time by not being constructive. There are plenty of other baseball discussions around this site that you’d probably enjoy more.
Sorry you didn’t enjoy the post, Timvict5. Will make the jokes funnier next time.
