I wouldn't bet on it.

Add in a little bit of bad luck and yet another loss.

Anatomy of a losing streak: Questionable managerial decisions, close losses, slumping offense and deteriorating pitching. Most things that went right when the Twins were winning more than their...

The collision did not look good, but he was able to walk off the field under his own power, FWIW. Sad to say, but Trevor's the third best offensive player on the team right now.

This thread has morphed into an examination of the Twins management staff. I have mixed feelings about both. 1) Gardenhire has won when he had the talent and a couple times when he didn't have as...

Trevor's not a great baserunner.

Justice for Swarzak. He certainly didn't deserve the loss.

The Twins have a lot of candidates for demotion and Arcia is among them. It looks like the second half of May might be one of the worst fortnights in Twins' history.

Please rain, stop. let Pelfrey get back out there and lose his position on merit.

I would consider the catching tandem of Mauer and Doumit being in the top 20% of catching tandems to be meeting expectations. I am not a Mauer hater by any means, but the man is the highest paid...

The catching position for the Twins is manned by a capable hitting backup (Ryan Doumit) and a future Hall-of-Famer (Joe Mauer). I did not say that compared to the rest of the league they were...

The comment about Sano's defense falling off--does that have to do with errors or scouting reports? Errors can come from a lot of things like throwing to unoccuplied bases or hitting sliding...

It isn't about "team control" for Gibson, it is about arbitration. If Gibson were promoted today, or June 2 or July 10, the Twins would get this season plus six more out of Kyle. It is just that he...

If Pelf has another "disappointing" outing, I think it is possible that the Twins add either Walters or Gibson for a start in Detroit. I really would like to see Gibson sooner rather than later...

Going through the postion players, position by position (and counting Arcia as a RF), the Twins are getting less than expected performance from 2B, LF, CF, RF, and DH. I would say they are near...

Certainly some changes will be made. The team is playing poorly and very few position players are going well--Morneau is hitting (singles) and .........well Plouffe's been pretty consistent and...

Congratulations to Caleb Thielbar. Randolph is less than 25 miles from where I live and two of my cousins used to live in rural Randolph, so Caleb is practically a neighbor. I hope he is given a...

The Twins' roster has been stable for quite awhile. The last change that I remember is DLing Mastroianni and recalling Arcia and that was some time around April 20th. They are going on another...

I am not clear on Arica. He was a fairly early option in March--does it matter if he's optioned early before the teams start playing regulation games? On Hicks, I think the Twins need to first do...

Four types of players that the Twins need to make decisions on in the remaining three quarters of the season: 1) Veterans--keep and pay them, or trade them? This would include the oft mentioned...

While I hate seeing the Twins get swept at home, maybe the Front Office will process the losses and do what they can to help themselves down the road.

I certainly want the Twins to do well. I also want them to face reality and quit pretending that they can contend this year. They need to do what is right for the development of their young talent....

Given the performance of the Twins' starting staff, I sure hope so.

How is Hicks a better outfielder? He has misjudged more balls in a quarter season than Span did in a full season. I think he'll be good, but he's not there yet.

I went to my first Twins game this year. Four hours later, I was trying to summarize a whupping at the hands of the Rose Hose. Here are some quick thoughts:

I didn't have the greatest seat, but...
