Twins Win Two in a Row

Well, Minnesota... looks like we have a winning streak on our hands!

Before the win on Monday over the Oakland Athletics, the Twins were 0-28 when heading into the 8th trailing their opponent.

The Twins beat Oakland on Monday after trailing. The Twins beat Oakland on Tuesday after trailing. The wins are great! Especially as we are tied with the Chicago Cubs for the worst record in baseball. However, I would argue the more important aspect of the games is the ability of the Twins to overcome a deficit.

Keep it up, boys. We need more wins to get out of the cellar.

Weaver, Angels Play Twins at Target Field

The Minnesota Twins return home tonight after a brutal West Coast road trip that should have been more of a pick-me-up than a depressing state of affairs.

The Twins will play one of the teams that made their trip out West so toxic; the Angels are back in town tonight.

Jered Weaver will take the ball for the first time since his no-hitter, facing the team he threw the no hitter against. Weaver will be facing the Twins for the third time this season. Weaver is 6-3 lifetime against the Twins with a 3.73 ERA in 12 starts.

Ugh...

Pujols appears to be on track to full rejuvenation, coming off his first HR as an Angel.

Pull it together Twins. I can guarantee fans will be brutal tonight if a win isn't the outcome. I will be one of those fans.
