Good riddance to the pesky Oakland A’s.  The A’s and Twins fought like hell over this four-game series, and just when it looked like the Twins might finally get an easy win on Sunday, the A’s had other ideas. The Twins scored four runs early before the A’s added two in the top of the... Continue Reading »

The Twins rallied to tie Sunday’s game at 3-3, but after reliever, Trevor May, served up a solo shot in the bottom of the seventh inning, the fight and game were lost, 4-3.

They took the lead in both games, then fell behind, then rallied for two wins. Meanwhile, the bullpen did not disappoint, nailing down both... Continue Reading »

I, like so many other Twins fans, want to believe that Twins third baseman, Miguel Sano, can not only become a star, but a superstar, someone who will smash home runs for the Twins for years to come. But after the Twins announced Tuesday that Sano will miss the first month of the season because... Continue Reading »
