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.
Twins

Twins you’ve shown back up to play baseball, thank you. I am getting excited if we can string together 4 wins and dominate the Cubs.
Joe Nathan has been nothing but spectacular as he picked up his 13th save of the season. I can’t imagine what he could do on a team that gave tons of runs.

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.

It's Labor Day in America and for some reason, the Twins are off. In the old days, the team would be playing a scheduled double header. Alas, I digress. I suppose even millionaire ballplayers deserve the day off. After all, they are union members.

The 2008 Twins Season was bumping along much as I had anticipated until about two weeks ago. Then this young team went on a tear and won 13 of 15 games. I was shocked. Despite an inexperienced rotation, a slew of new position players and Michael Cuddyer being injured for much of the year, the

Twenty-five games into the 2008 MLB Season, the Twins have an 11 and 14 record. With a young starting rotation and several new position players, this is about what you might expect. I don't expect any major changes to this team during the course of the season, so I think the club will continue to scuffle along in roughly the same way through the rest of year.

Where, oh where has the hitting gone...
The Twins found a pitcher last night. Nick Blackburn, in his first major league start, went seven innings, struck out six, walked one, and gave up only one run.

The Minnesota Twins served notice to the rest of the American League that they believe they'll be competitive sooner, rather than later, by signing Joe Nathan to a four-year deal worth $47 million. The deal runs through 2011 with the club holding a $12 million dollar option for 2012.

The end of Spring Training and the start of the season are looming, and the Twins have been making some moves. The big news over the weekend involved pitching. Glen Perkins was optioned to the minors, Liriano pitched four shutout innings and kept some hope of being on the major league roster alive.

With a week to go before opening day, the Twins roster seems to be pretty much set. There were a few minor surprises but for the most part, the usual suspects will be heading north this coming weekend.

One thing Twins fans have been looking for in spring training is for one of the pitchers to step up and lay claim to the title of number one starter, a position that is wide open after the departure of Johan Santana. Most of the

The Twins have been in camp for a couple of weeks now and things seem to be going pretty much as one might expect. There's been some mild surprises and some minor disappointments but overall, things seem to be progressing nicely. Really, I think this is what you want; a nice, uneventful camp.

Sunday's spring training game against the Yankees was televised here in Minneapolis, so some Twins fans got their first chance to see the team play this year. Here's a few observations from watching the game.

First, the Twins, as they are accustomed to doing, signed a couple of veteran pitching projects for their Spring training roster. Zach Day is a right-handed pitcher who underwent rotator cuff surgery in 2006 and pitched last year for the Kansas City Royals Omaha Triple-A team. Randy Keisler is a lefty who started three games last year for the St Louis Cardinals with a 5.19 ERA. Both pitchers are probably long-shots to make the team, but for the

Well, not a lot of exciting things going on right now in Twins land. The possible trade of Johan Santana is currently on hold, though there are plenty of rumours going around. Let's assume, though, for the fun of it, that Santana is traded, and that the trade brings the
