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.

Twins Host Tribe

The Twins play their first games of the year against the Indians, tonight and tomorrow night. Target Field will welcome the Tribe as the Twins try to pick up crucial wins against the Central Division.

Want to see the rivalry live? Me too. I already have my tickets, do you?

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.

Twins Host Angels, Blue Jays and Indians

The Minnesota Twins are heading out west to begin a week-long road trip. The Twins will play the Angels and Mariners. After those games are completed (hopefully adding to our win column), the Twinkies will be playing the three home-series: Angels, Blue Jays and Indians.

Plan ahead and get your Target Field Twins tickets. The boys will be back in town and looking to improve in the AL Central. The season is early and there is definitely room to grow.

Minnesota Twins: Who are they?

The Minnesota Twins are a Major League Baseball team based in Minneapolis, Minnesota. The Twins are a member of the Central Division of the American League. The Minnesota Twins play all of their home games at Target Field, 550 3rd Avenue in Minneapolis, which was built in 2010.

 The actual Minnesota Twins franchise originated in Kansas City, Missouri in 1894 and then moved to Washington, D.C. in 1901 when the American League was formed. In D.C. the team was known by two nicknames, the Nationals and the Senators. The team then moved to Minnesota in 1961 and was renamed the Twins after the twin cities of Minneapolis and St. Paul.

The Twins mascot follows lead, referred to as TC Bear. The Minnesota Twins team colors are navy blue, red, and white.

Clete Thomas, Welcome to the Twins

The Minnesota Twins claimed outfielder Clete Thomas off waivers from the Detroit Tigers. Jim Leyland, the Tigers manager, said he wasn't surprised that the Twins claimed him - apparently Ron Gardenhire has always loved Thomas.

Clete Thomas was a young bat boy for the Minnesota Twins. In high school, the bat boy was the son of a Twins scout, and the Twins selected him in the fifth round of the 2003 draft. He chose to attend Auburn.

Thomas hit .210 during spring training. His first swing at Target Field launched a drive toward the power alley in right.

Minnesota Twins Find Stride?

Hey! What do you know? The Twins are on their first win streak - 2 w's in a row at Target Field!

If you watched the game last night, you probably almost had a heart attack given the thrills of the game. The Twins started out with four uninspiring losses, but have come alive the past two days at Target Field.

The Twins took a three-game series from the LA Angels (2-for-3) this past week. Recall that the Angels were one of the most active teams in the off season, picking up highly desired free agents.

I love a nail biter when we come out on top. However, there is something to be said about a straight-up win. Twins fans might not be able to take this kind of fun for 156 more games...

Let's pound Texas... and let Twins fans sigh with relief.
