- This offense has issues
- The big news of the week was Francisco Liriano’s demotion to AAA Rochester, which came as no surprise after his 3rd start of the season lasted just 2/3rds of an inning. However, the biggest...
- Boof robbed again
- Boof Bonser put together another start worthy of a win, but his offense again failed to provide decent run support. The offense was shut out by Chad Guadin in a close 3-0 game. In Boof’s 5...
- Weekend recap
- Three low scoring affairs ended in a series victory for the Twins against Central division rival Cleveland Indians. On Friday night the Twins were shut out while Francisco Liriano struggled again in...
- Twins win opener vs. Tampa Bay
- It looked the Twins might have been on the verge of giving up another lead when Livan Hernandez allowed 2 runs in the sixth, tying the ball game. Livan allowed 5 runs (3 earned) through six innings...
- Bullpen drops another one
- For the second straight night the bullpen gave up a late Twins’ lead. Three runs in the eighth inning were enough to put Detroit on top and hold off a small ninth inning rally from the Twins....
- Late lead slips away
- The Twins seemed on their way to handing the Tigers their 11th loss of the young season before the Tigers broke out for 11 runs in their final three innings at the plate to defeat the Twins by a score...
- Believe it: Livan is 3-0
- First, Francisco Liriano has been recalled to pitch on Sunday against the Royals. Slowey has been placed on the 15-day DL, retroactive to April 4th. After Thursday’s rainout, that comes as a...
- Rained out :-(
- As expected, tonight’s game in Chicago has been rained out. It actually works in the Twins favor as it will buy them a little bit of time in deciding who will fill Kevin Slowey’s spot in...
- Bats heat up in the cold
- The temperature started out in the low 40s and by game’s end it was into the 30s. The cold, however, didn’t stop the Twins from having their best offensive game of the season. The Twins...
- Did The Twins Know Matt Garza Was Injured?
- "We’re going to take our time," Garza said. "It’s something I’ve dealt with over time, but I was able to fight through it. (It started) more towards late last year. It got to the
- Liriano's AAA start
- With Kevin Slowey questionable for his next start and Francisco Liriano’s cycle in the rotation aligning with Slowey’s, there’s been much speculation that Sunday could mark the...
- Blackburn, bullpen struggle against White Sox
- I missed the day game and I’m in the process of watching the re-play on FSN. I’m currently in the process of watching the seventh inning, the one inning that doomed the Twins in this game....
- Offensive struggles continue for Twins
- A quality start from Boof Bonser wasn’t enough to overcome the continued offensive struggles of the Twins. Through seven games their offense is averaging only 2.7 runs per game and they’ve...
- Twins win another against KC
- Justin Morneau’s slump has possibly come to end. He hit his first home run of the season, a 3-run blast in the 4th inning, and later provided an RBI double. That gives him 3 hits and 5 RBI in...
- Twins win opener against Kansas City

- Offense fails Blackburn
- In his first major league start, Nick Blackburn gave the Twins a pretty good effort. Unfortunately, 0 run support never results in a win. Blackburn allowed just 1 run on 5 hits through 7 innings. He...
- Twins get a reality check
- Just about everything went right on opening day. In game two, just about nothing went right as the Twins fell to the Angels by a score of 9-1. Boof Bonser labored to get through six innings. It...
