Holy CRAP!!! What is happening to our beloved Twins? They're an offensive juggernaut right now. In the last 8 games they have scored 48 runs while holding they're opponents to only 19. If it weren't for Detroit and Chicago also being really hot, the Twins would be on their...

As of this moment the Twins lead the Wild Card race. They are 1/2 game over the White Sox and a full game over the Red Sox. With 49 games left in the regular season it's obvious that the standings as they currently set could change quite a bit. However, if Liriano can come back...

Yup, that's right. The Twins finally have a new home (atleast they will once it's built). After going to my first game in the Metrodome a couple weeks ago, I've been a huge supporter of my beloved Twins getting new digs. The Metrodome is just sad. Sterile, dingy and lacking...

I'm listening to the Twins game right now (Sept 13 game against the A's) and Liriano started. However, he just left the top of the 3rd inning with some unknown injury. The announcers seem to think it has somethign to do with his arm but they aren't sure. To this point he...

Holy Crap!!! Not only is there an incident with a plane hitting a building in Manhattan but it's a plane registered to Cory Lidle (yes, that Cory Lidle) who was the only occupant. Sounds like the plane was having problems and the pilot (I'm assuming Lidle) was trying to get...

I was curious about Jason Tyner who is the current Twins center fielder now that Torii Hunter is in the DL. Decided to look him up and I found some interesting info.Drafted in the first round by the New York Mets (21st overall in 1998 draft), Jason has bounced around the league a ton...

Carlos Silva started last night and the first thought that I and many others had was ok, there's a loss. Well, the final score was 5-3 with Houston coming out on top with two runs scored in the bottom of the 9th.Yes, it was a loss but the goat of the game wasn't Silva. The...

So, what is Tagliabue angry about? That his little "not so secret" secret is out? Everyone knew that Upshaw was a Tags lackey. Don't get me wrong. The NFL Players Union has got a lot for the players. Contracts are insane, players are acting like prima donnas without punishment...

Recently the Twins put three of their outfielders on the DL. Torii Hunter has a fracture in his left foot, Shannon Stewart has a flair up of his plantar fascitis and Lew Ford has a strained oblique muscle. With these three out of commission for a while (or maybe the rest of the season...

Well, this is what we expected. I am of the opinion that this is almost good news. I'd much rather have a very healthy Liriano in 2008 than a partially healthy Liriano in 2007. When you factor in the idea that many pitchers return with better pitching after Tommy John surgery,...

Here it is folks, definitive sign that Johan is the #1 pitcher in the MLB right now. Just think, if the voters had done their job correctly last year this would be his third Cy in a row. Man he's good. However, what scares me is that if healthy Liriano could be even better. Can you imagine???

What?!?!? You mean the Twins are doing something smart? Dumping Batista? Man, almost makes you have a hope.Now if we can just get Bartlett installed as the starter at SS, get Castro cut and have Tiffee or Williams sent up. Nah, that'll never happen.
