psh

at least we've beaten the Sox 26 of the last 34

7/9/2011 6:50:35 PM

5 games under .500

5 games behind Cleveland and Detroit for the division lead

1 game behind the ShitSox

Chalk up another AL Central crown to the good guys

7/17/2011 5:40:22 PM

Looks like Tree forgot there was a game today

Its ok, so did the team

7/18/2011 3:41:08 PM

Cuddyer 2 run blast right after you post that

7/18/2011 3:47:32 PM

Gardy reads TWW, thats a known fact

7/18/2011 3:50:54 PM

yeah he is ron

7/18/2011 4:12:45 PM

GO TWINS!!!

7/24/2011 4:16:17 PM

wow

7/25/2011 9:54:49 PM

they could beat us 56-4, its just one loss

this is basically a day for our starters to rest

at least Chris Davis is 0-4...if the AL's equivalent of Mark Reynolds was raking on us, there would be a problem

7/25/2011 9:56:46 PM

one giant leap towards having the worst run differential in the majors

7/25/2011 10:02:29 PM

we'll be atop the Central in September, thats all that matters

I remember a Twins/Shitsox doubleheader where Morneau and Hunter each homered 3+ times and we hung about 35 runs on your team, but it only counted as 2 Chicago losses

7/25/2011 10:05:12 PM

September 201x

7/25/2011 10:09:45 PM

[Edited on July 25, 2011 at 10:10 PM. Reason : to be the man...you gotta beat the man...and the twins are the man]

when you're 5 innings deep and the opposing team has scored no less than 3 runs in each inning, its not a good game

[Edited on July 25, 2011 at 10:12 PM. Reason : .]

7/25/2011 10:10:41 PM

Mark Reynolds is in the AL....

7/25/2011 11:33:20 PM

^oh yeah good call

fuck Texas, beat them tonight 9-8, and Joe Nathan got the save...thats right ShitSox fans, Nathan is back...you won't like him when he's angry...cause he'll bean Nelson Cruz and still get the save

7/26/2011 11:45:05 PM

From @OzzieGuillen:

"29. Minnesota Twins Five years ago, the Twins rallied from 10.5 games out with eight weeks to go, winning the AL Central on the last day of the season. Many of the moves (or in this case nonmoves) that the Twins have made since then seem rooted in that improbable and very likely totally unrepeatable comeback. This year, it was not trading useful and affordable trade chips like Jason Kubel (.356 wOBA) or any of the 9,000 relief pitchers the Twins have assembled. GM Bill Smith apparently runs the Twins on the exact same principles that prompt old ladies to pull one-armed bandits for hours at a time: He's a slave to intermittent reinforcement, convinced that with Joe Mauer back (but not hitting anything like the Joe Mauer of old), Joe Nathan healthy (but not pitching like the Joe Nathan of old), and Justin Morneau due back … sometime, the Twins can easily make up seven games and pass three teams in the next eight weeks. Because if they did it once, dammit, they can do it again. Smith did pursue one trade that nearly materialized at the deadline. Too bad it was a terrible one. He was all set to offer Denard Span, a speedy on-base machine with excellent defense signed for four more years at $23 million, to the Nationals for a deal fronted by young reliever Drew Storen. You might recall that in 2010 the Twins traded Wilson Ramos, a starter-caliber catcher with six years of future team control, for Matt Capps, another expensive Nats relief pitcher. Luckily for Smith, the Nats refused to honor his wish to make Steve Lombardozzi's moderate-hitting middle-infield-prospect son a Twin like his dad. Stay tuned for next July, when Rizzo offers Tyler Clippard for Joe Mauer (contract paid in full), Target Field, and 10,000 autographed Daunte Culpepper jerseys … and Smith turns him down because he refused to throw Screech the Eagle in the deal."

when you see the royals, give them our regards

8/7/2011 6:02:42 PM

congrats on your first series sweep in like 2 years

8/7/2011 6:41:19 PM

(2004 actually, but thanks!)

[Edited on August 7, 2011 at 7:45 PM. Reason : actually, that was for a series IN minny, not sure for overall]

8/7/2011 7:38:28 PM

Joe Mauer may not hit 30 HR in the rest of his career. Twins should trade him to the Cubs.

8/8/2011 4:09:16 PM

man i'm glad NFL preseason starts in 3 days

8/10/2011 12:03:11 AM

we need a new rearview mirror pic around here

O's, Royals and Mariners are coming up quick!

8/10/2011 7:19:14 AM

10 games back, 45 games to go, and Morneau just activated off the disabled list

looks like the Tigers, Indians, Shitsox and Rlolyals can go ahead and pack their shit up, cause we're about to win probably 8 of our next 10

it's not gonna be the easy division title we have most years, but it will nonetheless be another AL Central title for the Twins

8/12/2011 7:34:19 PM

i, for one, have confidence that you guys can sweep the tigers

go twins!

8/14/2011 6:52:12 PM

please sweep

8/14/2011 8:16:43 PM

lol delmon young homers his first at bat for the tigers, thanks twins

GO TIGERS

8/15/2011 7:37:30 PM

don't get too used to Delmon Young hitting homers

Twins are just looking for a challenge this season instead of a normal cakewalk. Hence the fake injury and falsely reported surgery of Morneau, and Mauer "shaving runs"

we still have the belt

8/15/2011 7:47:12 PM

he's having a solid game

god porcello sucks... he's a young guy, but doesn't mean he can't suck

8/15/2011 8:36:22 PM

well I think Verlander goes tomorrow, so the only question is, will he take a no hitter past the 7th

8/15/2011 8:39:30 PM

Thome hits number 600

8/15/2011 9:19:36 PM

Quote :

"Two months later, Young was off to Minnesota, part of a six-player trade that sent emerging right-hander Matt Garza and steady shortstop Jason Bartlett to Tampa Bay. Since that trade, Garza and Bartlett have combined for 15.7 WAR. As for Young, in the three-plus seasons since the trade, he's produced 0.9 Wins Above Replacement for the Twins. That makes him the equivalent of a 25th man or a minor league veteran barely good enough to earn a promotion. There were many reasons the Rays shocked the baseball world and surged to the World Series in 2008. The Delmon Young trade was arguably the biggest."

Quote :

"Bill Smith’s tenure as Twins GM has some potential black marks, with the failure of the Johan Santana trade and the mishandling of the team's shortstop position. The Delmon Young Era in the Twin Cities might trump all of them."
