- April wrap up
- There’s no doubt that the Twins are sitting in a much better decision right now than they were as April closed last year. They finished off April with a 14-11 record compared to last...
- Inge defeats Twins in ninth
- Johan Santana wasn’t at his best on Sunday against Detroit and him and Mike Maroth dueled in a game that was close all day long. Pitch count ultimately got the best of Santana and he was forced...

- Twins blow away Tigers to set up sweep
- After the first inning of Saturday afternoon’s game in Detroit, things couldn’t have gone much smoother. After a good game Friday night, it looked like the Twins had reverted to their old...
- Twins bats reappear for a win
- Last night’s game between the Detroit Tigers finally got back to a level that was bearable to watch, or listen to, as was my case last night. After a stretch of games featuring no clutch...
- Rounding the Bases With Kevin Slowey

- Series preview - Detroit Tigers
- Most Twins fans can remember the series in Detroit on the last weekend of April last year. The Twins lost 9-0, 18-1 and 6-0. It was, without doubt, the lowest point of last season. This weekend the...
- Struggles continue in victory
- The fact that the Twins won Thursday afternoon’s game against the Kansas City Royals doesn’t make me feel much better about the way the Twins’ played. All-around, they were terrible,...
- Neshek Interview on Page 2
- ESPN's Page 2 recently interviewed Pat Neshek.
- This is getting old
- There’s not really much I can say besides rehashing what I’ve said the past few games. The Twins offense is failing to come up with timely hits and the middle of the lineup is in a slump....
- New "Piranhas" shirt
- I created a "got piranhas?" shirt last year during the Sept playoff run. Today I updated the shop with a new and improved piranha now chomping on a baseball. Check it out and Go Twins!
- Series preview - Kansas City Royals, take 2
- Didn’t they just play these guys? They sure did, but it didn’t go so well, so they’ll give it another go. Last week I said I’d be willing to give Sidney Ponson patience for...
- Twins mini-swept by Indians
- The Twins offense is now officially in a slump. They haven’t managed to exceed three runs scored in the past three games, all three of which came against poor to average pitchers. On Tuesday...

- No Twins on TV today
- Saturday’s game isn’t being broadcast by the Twins. I still don’t understand why they can broadcast 150+ games, but there’s a few they can’t. As far as I know, there are...
- Pitching problems against KC
- This was an ugly night for Twins pitching. First, the Sidney Ponson experiment might be nearing an end. I’d give him one last chance before turning to Matt Garza. Ponson gave up 10 hits through...
- Series preview - Kansas City Royals
- Better late than never…Here’s the series preview for the Kanas City Royals. The Royals head into the series already 6 games behind the Al Central leading Twins. On Wednesday they finally...

- Felix exits early, Twins win
- It was an interesting game for the Twins. The Felix Hernandez hype was short-lived as he left the game early with soreness in his elbow. Hopefully it’s not serious, but the whole event was...
- Twins rout Mariners in opener
- Before the game it was safe to assume that it would be a high scoring affair with two not so great pitchers, Jeff Weaver and Ramon Ortiz, faced off against each other. Ortiz got through the game...
- Series preview - Seattle Mariners
- The Twins will start off a 6-game road trip with a stop out west to face the Seattle Mariners. The Mariners literally got off to a slow start this season when they were forced to sit around in...
- Series split with Tampa Bay
- It was, for the most part, a disappointing series for the Twins against a team that they should be able to defeat easily. Not only did they lose on Friday night with ace Johan Santana on the mound,...
- Santana takes first loss

- Santana cutting off negotations?
- If there’s any truth to the first paragraphs of this SI.com story then we have good reason to cherish the next two years. Update: Joe Christensen says that Santana is denying the report....
- Another bad loss
- It was another ugly night of Twins baseball at the dome. Once again the Twins bats made a struggling pitcher look brilliant. Andy Pettitte pitched six shutout innings before the Twins finally scored...

- Postponed
- Tonight’s game in Chicago has been postponed due to “cold and blustery” weather. Game time temperatures would have been in the 30s with fairly strong winds, so I can’t blame...
- Starting with a sweep
- You can’t ask for a better start to the season than a 3-game sweep at home. For the most part, the Orioles were a pretty unimpressive team in all aspects, so I’m not ready to predict a 100...
- Another Twins win
- I was in attendance at Tuesday night’s game against the Orioles and while there wasn’t a great deal of excitement from the bats, it was a good, close game to watch. Boof Bonser pitched...
