Cliff Lee Dominates for Texas Rangers, Forces Fan to Ask Question "What If?"

Cliff LeeThe Minnesota Twins and fans realize one of the main components holding the franchise back from advancing to the World Series is the lack of an ace. If you glance at the Texas Rangers right now, they are up 3-1 on the New York Yankees and their only loss was letting go of a 5-0 lead in Game 1. While their bats have done the talking, Cliff Lee is once again proving himself as one of the best playoff pitchers in our generation. He silenced the Tampa Bay Rays and New York Yankees bats so far in the playoffs. He is 7-0 with a 1.6 ERA in the playoffs. The Minnesota Twins nearly acquired Lee at the trade deadline. Makes a fan wonder what Lee would have done with the Twins.

Season Over, Look Forward to Next Year

Ron GardenhireThe Minnesota Twins were not able to mount a comeback and was swept at the hands of the New York Yankees. It was an unfortunate end to what was a great regular season. I'd just like to say thanks to all those who visited the site during the year for any Minnesota Twins updates or Target Field news. It was a tremendous first year in the stadium and I only hope we can keep building on the success we started there this season. There will be plenty of decisions to make this offseason, as always. I'm already looking forward to next season.

New York Yankees Up 2-0 on Minnesota Twins

Joe Mauer The Yanks are up 2-0 (again). It hurts. If Minnesota were to win this series, it would be the deciding 5th Game at Target Field. However, one step at a time as they say. The Minnesota Twins need to win Game 3. It's win or go home. Brian Duensing will square off against Phil Hughes. For all us Minnesota Twins fans, go get em' guys.
