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 5-4 against them this season. Looking back quickly at both away series, the Twins very well could have walked away ...

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.
The Twins did make a solid move today adding Everyday Eddie to the bullpen. Whether the move works out in the end it was the right ...

Over the past month or so you've probably read a lot about how the American League Central could be a race to 90 wins for the Twins and White Sox. Recently while doing some research for an article I noticed something about the team's home records since they moved into the Metrodome.
Take a quick look.
HOME RECORDS:
1982: 37-44
1983: 37-44
1984: 47-34
1985: ...

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 picks have faired thus far in pro ball.
Aaron Hicks, 1 st Rounder:
Hicks has played in 39 ...

Scott Baker pitched five scoreless innings, but he wasn’t having a good day even then. You could tell each inning that he wasn’t very good. In four of his six innings he allowed the leadoff man to reach, and it was almost as if he threw to many strikes early on.
In the sixth inning he finally fell apart after somehow allowing no runs through the first five innings. He was ...

Carlos Silva made his return to the Metrodome, and it didn’t go as he would have liked. The story of Silva’s return was overshadowed by another solid outing from Francisco Liriano. It was Liriano’s third start since his recall and his best thus far.
Through the first three innings, Liriano looked dominant. He wasn’t striking out two hitters per inning, but ...

With the series victory over the New York Yankees, the Twins are now 67-53 on the season and could move into first place with a White Sox loss tonight. Nonetheless, if you would have asked most "experts" and for that matter, many fans, whether the Twins would be fourteen games above five-hundred in mid-August they'd tell you no.
The Twins have drastically overachieved, and it's ...

There will be limited posting over the next few days as I'm very busy. There may not be any posts this weekend, but I'll see what I can do. Then next week I'll do what I can do get things back on track and rolling again.
Also, it looks like Casilla should return this season if all goes well, and Cuddyer has hit some more bad luck meaning Span could finish the season in right and Kubel ...

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 we’ll be talking about how they missed the playoffs.
There isn’t really any team with the ...

The Twins were leading 6-1 going into the bottom of the seventh against one of the worst teams in baseball. Glen Perkins was rolling and things were looking good. A Grand Slam and 10 runs later and the Twins got blown out of the water.
Gardenhire looked like an idiot bringing in Brian Bass, and the Twins bullpen doesn't look like they're going to help us make the playoffs. ...

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.
There were three different instances where I think Liriano used more pitches than he needed to, which ...

It’s been an anticipated day for Twins fans, and they weren’t disappointed. In his first major league start in more than three months, Francisco Liriano dazzled the nearly 40,000 fans in attendance. His control was off at times, but in his first start back it was to be expected.
Liriano walked three hitters in the start, but one was more ...

We knew that Francisco Liriano was likely headed to Minnesota today with Livan heading out the door. But now it appears that he will be joined by a hitter as well. According to Joe Christensen , people with knowledge of the move have said that Craig Monroe is also leaving the Twins and Randy Ruiz has been added to the 40-man roster and is with Liriano on his quest.
Craig Monroe was ...

Starting Nine: Injury Updates
Going into the White Sox series, I said I’d be happy if the team could win two of the four games and come out of the series no worse than they went in. After they won the first two games, I got a little greedy and hoped for three so we could be just a half-game back.
Thanks to Gardenhire for igniting the crowd, and the crowd for igniting the ...

Does adding Ken Griffey Jr. really help the
White Sox? Looks who he compares to...
The Twins made no trades before the deadline, but if La Velle is correct, they could make a big move on Friday. Francisco Liriano is supposed to start for the Red Wings, but La Velle is reporting that indications are that he won't make that start.
He said he gets the feeling that Livan Hernandez will be cut loose and Liriano will take his spot on the roster. It'd be an interesting move ...
