Twins can’t escape first-inning curse, drop series to M’s

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 »

The win earned the Twins a split of the four-game series with Cleveland. It wasn’t a sweep... Continue Reading »

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...

Happy birthday, USA. Twins rout Yanks, 11-4

It’s the best kind of Independence Day celebration for this fan because the Twins, a team that usually wilts when facing the New York Yankees, found its footing again on Saturday and showed off the American League’s best run-scoring offense by clobbering six home runs in an 11-4 rout of the Bronx Bombers at the...

Can the Twins beat the Yankees? I say they can

It almost seems like a cruel joke that the gods would schedule the Minnesota Twins vs. New York Yankees as the country is about to turn 250 years old, but those are the facts as the Twins get set to take on their arch-rival over the weekend.

Twins take care of business in Texas, sweep Rangers

Is this the same Minnesota Twins team that was swept by the Pittsburgh  Pirates and suffered series losses to the Royals and Tigers? None of that was evident this week as the Twins had their way with the Texas Rangers, outscoring the Arlington-based club 25-7, including a 12-2 win on Tuesday and a 9-3 pasting...

Twins even series with Pale Hose after extra-innings win

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.
