Who's your closer?

By Flip27 on Jul 6 2011, 9:16p 22

It's the question on everyone's minds, and yeah, it's already been beaten to death. So what! Right now, I can't exactly tell who the Twins closer is. Or if there even is one.

Gardenhire seems steadfast in his reluctance to take the title of "closer" away from Matt Capps. -But then again Matt Capps has 2 holds in his last 2 save opportunities. And I thought the title of "closer" meant that you finished the game and had no back up unless the lead was gone. What do you call your closer who has a closer?

Obviously, this "Matt Capps unless/until he sucks" closer isn't exactly a long term solution. Yet it seems to be the manager's weapon of choice now. So, instead of letting Gary keep making decisions that we will all disagree with, I'm going use the magical power of hypotheticism to let you (yes, YOU) determine this whole "closer role" thingie. Because you're obviously the most qualified individual to make these kinds of decisions.

But mostly I just wanted one easy to find location for the banter about this. Plus, I wanted to make a poll with jokes.

Poll

You've got a 1-run lead in the 9th. Who gets the mound?

3% Matt Capps. I like the cut of his jib. Also, I think we should start a land war in Asia this November. (6 votes)
34% Glen Perkins. He's the best we've got this year, and it's his turn. Yes, I thought he was a AAAA player in March, too. (54 votes)
53% Joe Nathan. You'll see. We'll all wake up Christmas morning to find that Santa did come and he did give us the veep we wished so very hard for. (83 votes)
8% Eddie Guardado. I really just want the "Ed-die" chant to return. Also, fist-pumping and croch-grabbing. (13 votes)
