It’s always fun to make predictions on how the players will perform each season. About six months ago we did community projections for both the hitters and pitchers, and asked readers to give their predictions.

It's not easy, and for the true fans, it shouldn't be. In fact, until the team gets back on the field next spring, it should be hard to think about the Twins without thinking what could have been and what should have been. Missing the playoffs by one game, and more so, one...

It’s disappointing, there is no doubt about that. The Minnesota Twins should have been done playing Sunday, they should have locked it up before this. Unfortunately, what shoulda happened didn’t happen and the Twins are done until next spring.
The end result is...

It’s more than frustration. It’s more than a sickening feeling. Watching a team that you’ve put countless hours into fade away is the worst feeling describable. You try to stay positive after each blown game, after each missed opportunity...

He who fears none.
Are you kidding me? Did the Minnesota Twins just sweep the Chicago White Sox? Did the bullpen just pitch 6.1 scoreless innings?
It might be the craziest game I've ever seen, I'm really not sure. That might be the adrenaline talking, who...

It all starts on Tuesday. The next three games will determine the outcome of the thus far surprising season. The Twins did all they could on Sunday to get within a game and a half before the big series, but a White Sox win prevented it.
Who will win the race? We'll...

Call me stupid, call me crazy; call me whatever you'd like, I'm not giving up on my Minnesota Twins. In the past three games the starters have failed to get past the fifth inning. After starting the roadtrip 2-0, the Twins have lost...

The newspapers and every other news outlet might as well save some time and record one story about how the Minnesota Twins bullpen blew the game and publish it every day. For the most part they'll get the story right, because most of the time it's Reyes, Guerrier, Crain or...

With the inconsistency and the shakiness of the bullpen in August, it seems as if Francisco Liriano’s performance has been overlooked. Coming out of spring training the team tried to rush Liriano back. It looked like he was ready health wise, so it was a good move. Three...

Four. That’s the number of games that the Twins’ bullpen has blown during the course of this fourteen-game roadtrip. Joe Nathan has now blown two saves and Jesse Crain has had his share of losses as well. Playoff teams do not blow four games within a week, and if the...

There has been something about Seattle this year, something that the Twins just couldn’t figure out. They played great against them at home, but in both series on the road missed chances at multiple victories. Seattle is not a good team this year, but the Twins went just...

Call it the first place pressure if you want, but I just don't buy it. Maybe if we were in the final weeks of the season, but with about a month and a half remaining in the season I don't see how there can be much pressure being just a half game in first.
