Games 15 & 16: via The Apple Capital Rumble April 23, 2009 at 08:51 AM; Thursday 23 April 2009There isn't a whole lot that I can say about yesterday's double header as I didn't get to see the first game (thankfully), and I was busy last night, so I only got to see portions of the nightcap. My "analysis" of the game will be solely based on box scores and highlights. Regardless, the Twins didn't fare very well in their odd two-game series against the Red S
Off Day 1: via The Apple Capital Rumble April 21, 2009 at 08:33 AM; Tuesday 21 April 2009Monday found the Twins with their first off day of the season. After playing 14 straight games and bringing their record back to .500 the team needed it. Just because the Twins weren't playing, doesn't mean that they weren't active. Aside from traveling to Boston for a series against the Red Sox, the Twins placed Jesse Crain on the DL with inflammation of his shoulder.Yest
Games 12-14: via The Apple Capital Rumble April 19, 2009 at 10:39 PM; Monday 20 April 2009 After simply getting embarrassed by the Toronto Blue Jays last week, the Twins welcomed the Los Angeles Angels to the dome for a three game weekend series. In short, the Twins swept the series. I'll keep my synopsis of the series as short as possible... Jason Kubel hit for the cycle on Friday. Many fans were probably not watching at the end of the game. The previous series
Game 11: via The Apple Capital Rumble April 17, 2009 at 08:51 AM; Friday 17 April 20099-2At least I have Roy Halladay in my fantasy league. That's all I can say about last nights game.
Game 10: via The Apple Capital Rumble April 16, 2009 at 08:15 AM; Thursday 16 April 200612-2The Twins performance last night doesn't warrant much of an entry. Scott Baker returned from the DL, and didn't look good at all. He gave up 5 hits, four of which were home runs. Baker only lasted 4 innings, but no point in his start did he look like he was in control of pitches.Philip Humber come on to replace him, but couldn't even get through two full innings. He
Game 9: via The Apple Capital Rumble April 14, 2009 at 10:21 PM; Wednesday 15 April 2008 If you haven't done your taxes yet, you probably should. [Public Service Announcement...check] Sorry about there not being a post yesterday. I'm usually a man of my word, but I went to a concert instead. While on vacation visiting my parents out in DC, I apparently didn't miss anything as the Twins weren't too terribly successful from Wednesday through Monday night. I c
Opening Day 2009: via The Apple Capital Rumble April 10, 2009 at 02:40 PM; Monday 6 April 2009 Well...the day is finally here. The final opening day for the Minnesota Twins at the Metrodome. Scott Baker was supposed to be the opening day starter, but Francisco Liriano will be starting in his stead against Seattle's Felix Hernandez after Baker was placed on the DL. I'll have more of a recap for Tuesday as there will be more to talk about it tomorrow, so I'll just ful
Game 1: via The Apple Capital Rumble April 10, 2009 at 02:40 PM; Tuesday 7 April 2009 Game 1 is in the books, and the Twins didn't look all that great. Francisco Liriano started off strong and didn't pitch poorly, but left after 7 innings and 4 earned runs. It takes most teams a few games if not weeks to fully get back into season mode, but the Twins have more adjusting to do. If you watched the game, you saw two miscues by Alexi Casilla at second base where
Game 2: via The Apple Capital Rumble April 10, 2009 at 02:40 PM; Wednesday 8 April 2009So, Game 2 ended up being a much better game than we were lead to believe based on the first few innings. Nick Blackburn looked far from impressive in his first start of the season, but that really shouldn't be much of a surprise. He lasted 5 innings, but in the process gave up 8 hits and 3 walks which lead to 4 earned runs while only striking out one batter. As much as I
