No more excuses.

If I thought that the Twins had packed it in for the season like most teams would have a long time ago, then I would understand it. But, that would mean Ben Revere playing and Trevor Plouffe on the roster, so I don't believe that.

Josh Tomlin? Really? His picture is next to the word "junkballer" in the dictionary. He's got nothing. A team with this many lefties who supposedly can hit should be teeing off on him.

I saw one inning in which a bunch of hard-hit balls found gloves, but I'm tired of the excuses. But what I'm really tired of is incompetence.

I'm tired of seeing impatient at-bats. I'm tired of seeing not making routine plays. I'm especially tired of seeing Matt Tolbert. Is there anyone that has brought so little to a team that was allowed a major league job for this long? He has zero power. He can't hit from either side of the plate. He has no patience at the plate. He's a below-average fielder. He might have average speed, but he's not a good base stealer. He makes me long for the days of Nick Punto or even Denny Hocking. Even Al Newman.

I'm not asking for the Twins to try to make a miracle run. Right now, I'm just wanting to see some sign of hope for 2012.
