    Twins 6, Rangers 4: Out with some bangs (opens the original)

    Excerpt · English

    Read excerpt

    It is tempting to turn the commentary on Game 162 of a playoff-less season towards current complaints and hopes for next season. I’m not going to do that here—plenty of posts from myself and the entire cadre of Twinkie Town writers will dig into all that soon enough. For today—one final time in 2026—a Minnesota Twins baseball game was played. Let’s see how it ended up: The Twins got on the final line score of the year first when Luke Keaschall coaxed a ballgame-leadoff walk, was singled to third

    The 2006 Twins spent one day in first place—but it was a good day (opens the original)

    An utterly astounding comeback on the season’s final day When we last left the 2006 Minnesota Twins, they were weathering injuries while continuing to win. With seventeen contests left in the season, only 1.5 games separated them from AL Central-leading Detroit. The next two weeks produced more of the same: a 10-4 mark from September 14-September 28. Two players in particular pushed the potential playoff proceedings to the final weekend: In fact, that 9/28 contest begat one of the wildest stretc

    The 2016 Twins plummeted to new franchise lows by season’s end (opens the original)

    Excerpt · Critical tone · English

    The 2016 Minnesota Twins season began with great optimism. It took almost no time at all for such hopefulness to turn horrific: an 0-9 start followed by Total System Failure (TM). No amount of Brian Dozier dingers could fully compensate for RF Miguel Sano & the abject failure of Byung Ho-Park. In the months of August & September ‘16, the Twins kept losing (19-39). The final tally: 59-103—the worst single season in franchise history (narrowly edging out the 60-102 1982 squad). To somewhat-mercifu

    The last Twins game before the world wobbled (opens the original)

    Excerpt · English

    Read excerpt

    Twenty five years ago today, the world irrevocably changed. There was “the world before 9/11” and “the world after 9/11”. On September 10, 2001, the Minnesota Twins played their last game in that old world. Opening up what was to be a four-game series at Detroit’s year-old Comerica Park, the Twins sent Joe Mays to the mound to oppose the Tigers’ knuckleball-ing starter Steve Sparks. The visitors got on the board first in the top of the second inning when a Corey Koskie triple was paid off via a

    MLB Pennant Chase ‘26 (opens the original)

    Excerpt · English

    Read excerpt

    Though the current ultra-humid atmospheric soup we call “air” belies this observation, autumn is right around the corner. Before embarking on Labor Day plans later today, let’s widen the aperture from the Minnesota Twins and look around Major League Baseball to see how each division is shaping up for the stretch run… Have an enjoyable and safe holiday weekend. When you return to reality, the weather may cool down but one thing will be for certain: the pennant races will only be heating up!
