I should have seen it coming. Livan away from home = ugly. Here are some thoughts: -The obvious story is the injury of Gomez. It was Hernandez’s goal to kill his outfielders tonight, but I’ll get into that later. Gomez slammed into the outfield wall while tracking a ball, and left a few minutes later [...]

Offensive Ineptitude Again?
Posted: 23rd July 2008 by vacant in Alexi Casilla, Carlos Gomez, Denard Span, Game Thoughts, Glen Perkins, Justin Morneau, Mike Lamb, OffensiveYet again the Twins found a way to lose to the Yankees. I can officially say that there is a sour taste in my mouth. Yuck. Here are some thoughts: -Minnesota is becoming an offensive inept team again. Remember last year when every single game seemed to be dominated by “offensive ineptitude”? It’s coming back, [...]
Many Good Things, Some Bad
Posted: 23rd July 2008 by vacant in Carlos Gomez, Denard Span, Francisco Liriano, Game Thoughts, Jesse Crain, Kevin SloweyI have to be honest with you guys, I don’t really care that the Twins lost tonight. They always have trouble at Yankee Stadium, and although they shouldn’t, I really don’t care tonight. This poor game was trumped by the many other great things that happened today. Let’s dive into some thoughts: -First off, did [...]
Carlos Gomez Needs to Go-Go Away
Posted: 22nd July 2008 by vacant in Carlos Gomez, Center Field, Denard Span, StatisticsSorry for the gimmicky title, but it’s all I could come up with, and I think it perfectly describes what is running through my mind right now. Carlos Gomez needs to go-go away. Fast. Go-Go Gomez is 22 years old and is blazing fast. This we know for a fact. He is also supposed to [...]
A Loss That Stings
Posted: 20th July 2008 by vacant in Carlos Gomez, Game Thoughts, Joe Mauer, Justin Morneau, Scott BakerI am once again experiencing a sour taste in my mouth right now, so let’s just dive into some thoughts before anybody gets hurt: -Baker was the obvious story this afternoon. He went a stellar eight innings against one of the most potent offenses in MLB, and limited them to only one run on two [...]
Offensive Outburst Led by Morneau and Mauer
Posted: 20th July 2008 by vacant in Alexi Casilla, Carlos Gomez, Denard Span, Game Thoughts, Joe Mauer, Justin Morneau, Livan Hernandez, OffensiveWhat an offensive outburst tonight! The Twins picked up another win, and gained a game on the unusually quiet offenses of the Chicago White Sox. Here are some thoughts: -Forget everything I said about Gomez yesterday and today. He had two hits today and drove in one run. He needs to stay with Minnesota. Seriously [...]
There is a situation brewing in Minnesota. Francisco Liriano has filed a grievance against the Twins because he believes that they are keeping him in the minors specifically to delay his right to arbitration. While I have my doubts on this, it does create a messy problem in the land of 10,000 lakes. Liriano claims [...]
Perkins Solid, Young Great, and Casilla Strong
Posted: 19th July 2008 by vacant in Boof Bonser, Brendan Harris, Brian Buscher, Carlos Gomez, Craig Breslow, Delmon Young, Francisco Liriano, Game Thoughts, Glen Perkins, Jason Kubel, Jesse Crain, Nick PuntoYou have no idea how glad I am to be back into regular game thoughts. I was getting sick and tired of coming up with abstract trade possibilities that probably won’t come true. So enough with my career as Nostradamus, and here are some of my game thoughts: -Glen Perkins went a solid six innings [...]
Dan Wade compares this year’s Minnesota Twins to teams of past. Congrats on 50 articles! If you don’t read Joel Sherman on a regular basis, you might want to consider adding him to your lineup. He is a great writer and put up an awesome post detailing his awards for this half of the season. [...]
