Awf-Roading
We are doing awful on the road this season, and we've got a lot more away games ahead of us. Ugh. I'm pulling out all the stops while they're in Cleveland this weekend. Lucky underwear, crossing fingers and toes, and maybe even a couple of prayers or voodoo tricks.

Twins Mixing It Up
This is the time of the year when players show the coach what kind of player they really are. Since the Twins are out of it this season, it's time to look forward to next season, and manager Ron Gardenhire is taking these last few games to see who is still giving it their all. Michael Cuddyer is on...

Not having any luck against Cleveland.
The Minnesota Twins lost to the Cleveland Indians Sunday for the third time in this series. I am a little disappointed in our offense so far. We are going to be playing our next three games against the Oakland Athletics who have won seven of their last nine. I hope the Twins can shape up for our firs...

Good for them!
So I'm as happy as anyone for the Twins now that pitcher Francisco Liriano has his Visa and is on his way to pplay for Minnesota. But considering I have friends waiting in line for visas just to get into the US for any kind of work, I can't help but grumble at how much easier it is to get things done...

On Fire
Johan Santana is getting paid to what he does best, and is getting outs one at a time. In the beginning of the season Santana still collected some wins but wasn't nearly as dominate as he has been in his last several outings. Santana pitched through is third complete game last night and ended up with...

Twins Headed for Lone Star State
Johan Santana of the Minnesota Twins is making quite a mark on our game this season. He single-handedly dominated the Detroit Tigers pitching seven no-hit innings in a row on Sunday. We won 4-2 and took the series. I am hoping we can see some of the same in our upcoming series against the Texas Range...

Starting Anew in 2006
When the 2006 season comes around expect some new faces to fill the Twins' roster. The Twins front office has spent this first couple of weeks of the off-season getting rid of spare parts and gearing up for another season. Designated hitter Matthew LeCroy was let go last week and probably won't com...

Hanging on by a Thread
Sorry for the long absence. I've been having lots of long conversations with our internet provider over the past few months due to some, let's say "disagreements," over whether or not my internet was working. I won't waste my energy going into it here, but I could start a separate blog about that alo...

Twins Staduim Delay
The bill to start production on a new stadium for the Twins has been delayed. The reason for the delay has been the addition of a possible referendum to the bill. Many were opposed to this addition on account that it would most likely end up being a deal killer. As of now, no referendum has been adde...

Farm System Showing Promise
The best thing to come out of the Twins' season is their minor league team the Elizabethton Twins. This season the E-Town Twins won the Appalachian League title, thanks to the help of relief pitcher Alexander Smit. Smit was given the Elizabethton Twins Pitcher of the Year award, because of these bl...

...hope you get an extra inning! How can you be the hero of the game when you go 1 for 5, including a strikeout in the 8th with a man on third? Easy -- hit a 2-RBI double in the 10th inning to push your team ahead for a 3-1 win. Nick Punto took his time making an impact on the game late Monday n...

twins twins twins, what up with that
The ALDS is quickly slipping away from our beloved Twins. Without delving too depply into what has happened to bring us to this unfortunate place or relying on the A's curse to keep them from pulling this one off, lemme just say this, I certainly hope Brad Radke feels as good as he can because we rea...

Radke Not Yet Retired
Brad Radke has not completely closed the door to the Minnesota Twins and announced his retirement. He is still in talks with the Twins organization to get him signed for his 13th season playing for the Twins. It seems that the Twins are really just wanting to keep Radke as a veteran motivator for t...

New GM brings hope for Minnesota Twins
Well, the 2007 season was painful for Twins fans, as it saw the end of their 6 year winning streak. They didn't even make it to the playoffs, though maybe that's less traumatic because they never seem to make it all the way to the World Series anyway. It seems that a major reorganization is in order, so Terry Ryan stepped down to be the Senior Advisor to the General Manager...

Twins breaking records, and didn't even know it!
How's this for a nice phone call - Rangers broadcaster Eric Nadel, researching opponents, suddenly discovers that Twins' second baseman Luis Castillo has broken two records, and neither he, nor the Twins management, even knew it!First, he beat Ryan Sandberg's record of 123 consecutive errorless games by a second baseman, and next, he broke Sandberg's record of 584...

Twins look to tie up Yanks series at home
After a 1-1 series against the White Sox in Chicago, the Twins are looking for victory against the Yankees back at the Metrodome. The Yanks will start without Hideki Matsui after he suffered a minor hamstring injury on Friday - Matsui is out for 15 days on the disabled list. Of course, with the Yankees' depth, this is good news for the Twins but doesn't exactly call for...

Knock their Sox off!
Okay let me put aside the baseball stats and facts and get emotional for a minute. Play baseball Twins! That's why we bought tickets! Give us more than Johan Santana. It's about teamwork. Single barrel baseball doesn't get you to the playoffs. We don't need another pair of stinky Sox in our face ... wash them up tonight!

Justin Morneau: A Good Judgment Call
Most Valuable Players for single events or short series are sometimes obvious. Over the course of an entire season, there are more likely to be several great candidates to choose from. This year some of the baseball players under consideration were the New York Yankees’ shortstop, Derek Jeter, and David Ortiz, DH for the Boston Red Sox. When the votes were counted, those outstanding...

Maybe not rested, maybe calcified
Okay, I guessed wrong on my World Series prediction. Amazing how often I manage that--although one fine day my yearly prediction that the Twins will go all the way will come true. One safe prediction seems to be that the Major League will keep playing without strikes or lockouts for another five years. The less I hear about that end of the business...the more baseball can feel...

Tigers Rested & Ready for Cardinals
The Tigers had some challenges on the way to the World Series, including regrouping for a final push at the end of the regular season, and dueling with the New York Yankees. But thanks to their sweep of the Oakland A’s, they have had this past week to a) rest up and b) watch the Mets and the Cardinals go at it. I’m guessing they didn’t just lounge around drinking beer during...
