Liriano had a good first outing back in the bigs, using 96 pitches to go six scoreless innings in the victory. After thinking about some of the different aspects of his start, I really feel that had just a few things went the other way, Franchise could have probably gone seven...

It was a tough series for the Twins, one that had just a few things went the other way could have just as easily been a sweep for Minnesota rather than a series loss. I know one thing, and that is if the Twins can’t learn to win a few games on the road quickly, come September...

The signing period to sign 2008 draft picks came and went on Friday and the Twins managed to lock up their sixth rounder from the state of Iowa after it was thought that he might go to college instead. With the deadline I thought it might be a good idea to see how some of the different...
