A bunch of angry Twins fan tweets (and a couple positive ones) after Kintzler trade

If Brian Dozier didn't like the Jaime Garcia trade (and he didn't), he can at least be consoled by the opportunity to forget that trade and focus on a deal he will probably like even less.

If Brian Dozier didn't like the Jaime Garcia trade (and he didn't), he can at least be consoled by the opportunity to forget that trade and focus on a deal he will probably like even less: the Twins' deadline trade Monday of closer Brandon Kintzler, one of the few dependable relievers they have had the past two seasons, to the Nationals for a Class A prospect.

Know who else doesn't like the idea that the Twins are throwing in the towel on this season? Twins fans. They reacted to the Twins' official tweet announcing the move with some pretty harsh replies. Here are several of their angry tweets (and a couple happier ones, too).
