Re: Twins 2012
Former Twin Philip Humber threw a perfect game for the ChiSox. I remember when he was here he was not very good. I guess this is what can happen when you have real coaches on your team.

Re: Twins 2012
Cuddy was my probably my favorite Twin, pretty much embodied what "Twins baseball" is. However, the ability to play many positions is overrated. You know what it means when a guy is a multi-position player (in most cases)? He's mediocre at all of them. The season is still young but Willingham looks like an upgrade already.viking_guy wrote:don't get me wrong, Willingham is playing great, but I would rather have Cuddyer. He can play many positions. And with all the injuries the twins seem to have, having a guy on roster who can fill in anywhere is huge.
It would be nice to have Kubel still around too. Watching Doumit play RF is painful. The other night he let two balls fall in front of him when most RFs would've been able to make the catch (or at least be in position for it)
Didn't Buerhle throw two perfect games while playing for them? Anyway, Humber was with another team in between the Twins and ChiSox, so c'mon.PurpleMustReign wrote:Former Twin Philip Humber threw a perfect game for the ChiSox.

Re: Twins 2012
May just started and I have already lost all interest in the Twins.
I think it is time to start the fire Gardy talk. Clearly his time has come and gone.

Re: Twins 2012
It's frustrating because we have some decent talent, but we can't get it together. Gardy's seat gonna be on fire soon

Re: Twins 2012
Then they get one-hit tonight. What a joke of a team. Just terrible.

Re: Twins 2012
just more depressing every day. not only do we have the worst record in baseball with 7 wins....but do you guys ever look at run differential?! just sick. just the stat that shows how many runs we've scored versus how many we've given up. currently we are -59! minus 59!
next worse is the royals at -29! even the royals are already 30 runs better than us. texas is +47 and st. louis is +62! ha....minus 59.

Re: Twins 2012
A great article by Souhan. I am not usually a fan of his, but he hit the nails on the head with all three points. I love Denard Span, but he deserves better than this. I would hate to see him go, but like he said, he deserves better.

Re: Twins 2012
this team does just enough to keep me watching! beat the phillies 11-7 last night. won 10 of our last 13 games. had 17 hits and 3 homers last night! so tonight...knowing this team...we'll probably get no-hit.

Re: Twins 2012
I tell you what, Trevor Plouffe is on FIRE. Two more HRs tonight, up to 14 for the season, and he hasn't even played the whole season!! In a season of very few bright spots, he has certainly been one (along with Span and Diamond).

Re: Twins 2012
Can someone please tell me why we dind't sign Jason Kubel??? Three HRs last night, and he leads the NL in RBI.
