  3. "Playoff Teams Do Not Have ____ "

  4. Twins-Mariners: Twins Find a Formidable Opponent in Last-Place Mariners

  5. The Tampa Bay Rays, and Why The Heck They're Still Winning

    Here's a bit of a stretch relation/link. And, like most things I think, I'm not quite sure if it's something you'll get too. The Rays have missed Longoria, Crawford, and Percival in the last few weeks...

  10. Justin Morneau, The Next Aaron Burr (The Man Who Beat Hamilton)

    Justin Morneau came into the 2008 State Farm Insurance (Or Is It The Century 21) Home Run Derby and Reggie Jackson Show as merely an afterthought. I mean, why not? Every Twin that has competed in a Derby was basically just picked to fill a spot...

  11. So I Jumped On The Kevin Slowey Bandwagon

    Last year, Kevin Slowey was tagged by some to be the second coming of Brad Radke. His control and poise, they said, was absolutely phenomenal. Well, halfway through 2008, and particularly in his last four starts, Slowey has lived up to the challenge...

  14. Sleeveless Twins play a Whole Different Ballgame

    This isn't in the box score, and I can't find a split of it on Baseball Reference's website. And I also know that it probably doesn't have an effect on anything. This is just my excuse to go look up useless statistics...

  16. Nick Punto, Mike Lamb, Adam Everett: Minnesota Twins' Left Infield Doomed

    The left side of the infield has been an absolute disgrace for the Twins so far this year. Mike Lamb and Adam Everett, both signed in the offseason from the Astros, have proven to be incompetent both in the field and more importantly at the plate...

  17. MLB: Money Can't Buy Happiness...or First Place, for That Matter

  19. AL Central Riddled With Inconsistency Through The First Quarter Of The Season

    We had thought this was going to be the cream of the MLB crop this year. Detroit and Chicago- they had the best lineups in baseball, bar none, said the analysts. The Indians? Still there! The Royals? Yep, they might finally not be a joke this year...
