And absolutely no competition from their own division.

I doubt seriously the Twins would be in the playoff hunt if they were in the East.

This division is for the taking by whatever organization who wants it.

Imagine what Boston, Toronto or the Rays would give to be in this division?

The Sox are far and away the biggest market in the Central but are owned and operated like a team from Mayberry.

omg dude, we'd be buried if we were in the east!

Well we do only have 25,000 fans tonight and I am guessing CSN isn't the highest rated show today so it is not like we are the Yankees or Red Sox...and we didn't suck for a decade like the Rays. I don't think it is our lack of spending costing us the division.

No offense, but when are people going to give their pitching credit? Duensing has been absolutely amazing this season. Pavano's been stellar all season, and he really stepped up when Liriano was struggling. Blackburn's actually throwing the ball very well since he returned as well. I'm just so sick of people saying we have a better staff than they do.

I know, I know...I should give them more credit but when I watch them pitch they are very underwhelming. But maybe that's their strength, the fact that they throw a ton of strikes and turn it over to a terrific defense behind them. And they don't leave a lot over the plate.

 

Maybe if they can get out of the first round, I'll accept it.

Trust me, there's no one more frustrated than I am when Duensing goes 8 innings, 1 run with mediocre stuff. Slowey and Baker seem to just throw 92 mph fastballs down the plate, and they have strong outings as well. Good post Ginger

The Twins are the epitome of what nibbling Nardi Contreras wanted in a staff. Good control and living on the corners a hitter never seems to get a good pitch to hit. Everything is borderline and close.

They could be the best team in the AL with a healthy Morneau. They've been amazing since the break. And it all started with Bobby's epic choke in that Sunday afternoon game.

 

 

Sorry, the Twins pitching is not that good.

Twins just go out and get their business done quietly (like their manager)...

 

Sox players whine about umpire calls and showboat on defense (like their manager and GM)...

 

Twins are getting this done without 2/3 of their best players which is amazing.
