I went to the game tonight at Target Field, my first trip there. Great venue. Much like the Vikings, the team needs improvement to fill gaping weaknesses.

Re: Twins 2012
Willingham hit his 31st bomb last night and seems like it's a real possibility he could finish the season with 40+. When was the last time the Twins had a guy with that many HRs? Killebrew?! For all the negative attention the team has received in recent years for bad signings and trades, Ryan made a great decision to go get Willingham. Doumit as well, he's not amazing but he's shown he's a valuable piece of the puzzle (switch hitting catcher with power? yes please). Plus, his walk-up song is Danzig's "Mother", which is freakin' awesome
They just need to continue to purge the team of all the horrible Bill Smith moves. Nishioka will never play in a Twins uniform again. Now they just need to find a way to get rid of Blackburn.

I do believe Killebrew is the last Twin with 40 homers in a season. Interestingly, he never hit 50 in a season either.
I still think Nishioka will play for the Twins one more time. He needs a real hitting coach however. I don't think the Twins will have any kind of success until Gardenhire, Anderson, and Vavra are all gone.
