Sometimes life just isn’t fair, is it?

The Twins showed a lot of fight in their series loss to the M’s, but asking them to come from behind in every game is a tall order. They pulled it off on Friday — their only win in the series — and came up short in the next two games, both back-to-back walk-off losses,... Continue Reading »
