The key word for me in my above listing is "TRUSTFUL". The Pohlad clan REALLY and EASILY has the $$$ this time to have gotten a 3rd baseman. If Buscher can play adequate defense, I'll shut up and become interested again. Otherwise, it just ain't fun any more. sid, I ain’t (a la my La Velle post) selling Buddy Holly tickets.

The key word for me in my above listing is “TRUSTFUL”. The Pohlad clan REALLY and EASILY has the $$$ this time to have gotten a 3rd baseman.

If Buscher can play adequate defense, I’ll shut up and become interested again.

Otherwise, it just ain’t fun any more.

” I’ll spend hundreds of hours every year now on something more worthy”

Like selling Buddy Holly tickets?
To each, his own.
All the best, partner.
Bon fortune, mon ami.

Rance Howard wrote the story 'The Ball Game' for 'The Andy Griffith Show', incidentally, Ron's favorite episode of the series. 'The Ball Game' originally aired within days of Game 1 the 1966 World Series. Unfortunately, Opie worshipped stars from the New York Yankees from that era. Damn Yankees!

Letting those 3rd-basemen slip away is a total put-off. Any future interest in the Twins on my part is directly co-relative, at present, to Buscher's defensive ability. Lotsa luck. There are too many interesting, rewarding, fun, and TRUSTFUL things out there in this world which prevent wasting any more time on imaginery hopes for the Twins. Pohlad's legacy for now seems to be non-championship baseball. I'll spend hundreds of hours every year now on something more worthy. And it won't take much of anything to be more worthy.
