Twins Fix

Quick note here. Minnesota Public Radio is collecting Metrodome Memories from Twins fans. Below is the information directly from MPR. Being an avid listener of 89.3 The Current and a big fan of the work they do in general, I would encourage people to participate in this. If you’re unfamiliar with MPR , you can [...]

I meant to put this in this morning’s post but forgot. Andrew Kneeland, the former writer for this blog, is now writing for Twins Target at www.twinstarget.com. If you’ve never read his stuff before, I’d still recommend checking out his blog; he provides very comprehensive Twins coverage. I’ve linked to his blog on the blog [...]

Unfortunately, the Twins weren’t able to take advantage of a number of opportunities to beat baseball’s best pitcher, Mr. Zack Greinke yesterday and take the sweep that I thought they would need.  Fortunately, the Tigers continued to play mediocre baseball and barely put up a fight in Chicago, leaving the Twins two games back with [...]

SWEEP! For the second time in two years, the Twins have faced the Chicago White Sox in a crucial three-game September series and swept.  While this year’s series lacked the dramatics of last year, the result was the same, and this year’s sweep may well be more impressive.  The Twins, lacking 60% of their starting [...]

  Even if the Twins ultimately fail to catch the Tigers, games like this will never get old.  Nice professional, methodical smackdown for our boys last night. Sounds like it was nothing serious with Span.  Hopefully he recovers quickly.

The Twins wrapped up a highly successful week with an intense, satisfying 3-0 win over the Detroit Tigers last night.  After losing three straight (one against Toronto, two against Oakland) the Twins rallied from a 3-0, eighth inning deficit against Cleveland on Monday to kick off a 5-0 week.  Ewing Theory lightening rod Michael Cuddyer [...]

(Note:  At the very least, this post is intended to be taken lightly, as a source of amusement.  At most, it’s meant to be taken as a ray of hope for Twins fans.  I hope you enjoy.) This week, Twins fans received tragic news.  Justin Morneau, out for the season with a back fracture.  Out.  [...]

Having ripped on Delmon Young the other night, I’ve been forced to eat a bit of crow the last few days as he’s actually hit a few line drives and an extra-base hit or two.  Still, I stand by my original post and still believe that Carlos Gomez is a far superior option to Young [...]

The Twins just finished up a frustrating series in Toronto.  Going into this series, the Twins hadn’t had any success in Toronto recently and hadn’t ever mustered a win against Roy Halladay.  After yet another disappointing/maddening series against the Indians and a Tigers sweep in Tampa Bay, the Twins chances at playing meaningful games the [...]

At the start of the season, the Minnesota Twins were said to have more outfielders than spots available.  “We have outfielders that can start for most teams,” opined Denard Span, back in spring training.  Gardenhire also boasted of his embarrassment of outfield riches, claiming that he wasn’t even sure how the playing time would play out. Three-quarters [...]
