Twins routed again 13-4. ‘Make it make sense’

Perhaps Glen Perkins, a former Twins relief pitcher who was in the radio booth on Monday with broadcast partner Kris Atteberry, put it best as he tried to wrap his head around what was happening to the Twins in their Game 1 tilt against the Cleveland Guardians. “Make it make sense,” said Perkins on a...

Hi, I’m Rolf Boone, Twins fan.

I became a fan of the Minnesota Twins after a friendly wager in the early 1980s. I survived Ron Davis, the meltdown in Cleveland, Phil Bradley at the Kingdome and then marveled at a rising generation of stars and two World Series wins in 1987 and 1991. Brad Radke made the 1990s bearable, while Kirby Puckett’s eye injury, exit from the game and eventual death made it almost too much to bear. The new century ushered in more talent — Joe Mauer, Johan Santana, Joe Nathan, Torii Hunter, Justin Morneau — and consecutive seasons of playoff baseball, followed by consecutive seasons of losing baseball. A winning season returned in 2015. So here we are. Go Twins.
