Minnesota Twins

25 June 2009

The Minnesota Twins and Milwaukee Brewers are locked in a border battle of non-epic proportions.  Compared to the New York Yankees and Boston Red Sox rivalry, we are the two douche-bags on the play ground yelling about an ill-advised Magic the Gathering card throw.

Deciding to sit among baseball fans, I wanted to be in the competitive environment of a major league stadium.  My fraternity brothers are eclectic and both sides of the boarder.  Wisconsinites mingle freely on Minnesota soil.  I sat down just in time to see nervous eyed Carlos Gomez bat lead off.

The Twinkies seem solid.  The 10 year life shelf of real Twinkies in the grocery store doesn’t work with our ball club.  They flash good and bad at anytime.  They might make on the shelf for about 2 days then implode.  Yet with 10 runs they are undefeated.

Turning on Sportscenter and seeing a Twins story mentioned brightens my day.  It reminds Minnesotans that we are not forgotten in the quiet AL Central.  It’s good when they talk about our winning and not just the new stadium.  That stadium will make us famous next year regardless of our record.

Minnesota Twins Shortstop Nick Punto provides relief to his team injured.  Thank Manager Gardenhire for deciding to stop the bleeding.  There hasn’t been progress this season for Nick Punto.  He is batting his worst AVG ever and holds one of the worst On Base Percentages in MLB.

There was a previous blog about Joe Crede and given the Twins effort to bring him in, maybe they are looking to compete now, versus 2-3 years from now?   Am in total agreement there.  Although from the box score and an error or two in the field, this Twins fan will reserve his opinion until later in the season about whether it was worth it.  So far, so good....I will say that the Twins starting rotation has been very impressive and Liriano has shown up once again.  It would seem he is arriving at the form he was at before getting hurt a couple years back  Keep it up Liriano, great work....Also, Joe Nathan needs to maintain if not raise the bar maybe a bit....he is looked at as one of the premier closers, but isn't closing like it just yet...I know it's early, so I will back off on that negativity.....GO Joe!!!

While A-Rod has allegedly came clean, this Twin's fan thinks the Yankee's are almost under too much pressure to win now.  If they struggle & are not in 1st place by at least the all star brea

When spring training is barely 2 months out for pitchers and catchers, I think we need to take a look at what type of damage the NYY have done to the game.  From a competitive standpoint and p

Well it seems as though the "Devil" in Devil Rays has officially been exorcised.  The Rays win their first playoff game in franchise history on the shoulders of rookie Evan Longoria.

Suddenly it seems as though the Mets won't make the postseason yet again.  After winning again the Brewers now find themselves in the driver's seat and the Mets are on the outside looking in.&nbs
