Twins Sign Miguel Sano

This is huuuuge. Sano was easily the top Latin American talent available this year. He received a 3.15 million signing bonus. The 16 year old shortstop probably will move to third base in the future as he is a big kid who still has some filling out to do.
With the signing of Sano, Max Kepler, [...]

The Coolest Thing You Will Ever Read

Generally catchers don’t catch both ends of a doubleheader. Joe Mauer is not most catchers.
The future AL MVP poked his head into Gardy’s office after the game and said three words: “I got this.”
Here are your lineups for game 2
(TWINS 82-74)
1. Denard Span, RF
2. Orlando Cabrera, SS

It’s Go Time

This is it, kids. Twins v. Tigers. Four games to decide the AL Central. The Twins have their four best pitchers going, while the Tigers have their ace and three other guys. Not that said three other guys are bad, but there is no one in there as good as Verlander, nor is there anyone [...]

First off, I would like to apologize for the sporadic posting over the last week or two (and generally low quality of said posts). School has been not a lot of fun the past couple weeks, but after next week I should be free and clear for a little while. Alright, let’s get to the [...]

How Sweep It is

The Twins swept the Sox tonight, despite a so so effort from Brian Duensing. He went 5.2 innings and gave up 3 runs, including a 2 run HR. Bobby Keppel also gave up a 2 run HR, but the rest of the bullpen did its job to close out the win. Nathan made it interesting, [...]

I Hate Chicago

In 1871, a great fire swept through Chicago, burning around four square miles. If Chicago re-enacts that fire, by all means go ahead, as long as you make sure you catch US Cellular Field.
The Twins are up 2 games to none in the series vs. the White Sox, and they go for the sweep tomorrow [...]
