Twins Lose Another

The last time I posted anything in length, the Twins were fresh off of taking 3 of 4 from the defending World Series Champion. Five days later, they'd dropped 4 of 5 to two teams that sit near the bottom of the standings. Welcome to reality.

The Twins are a team that can compete with any other team in the league. Although, they lack top-of-the-line pitching and seem to be light with the stick (still), they have a very good defensive outfield and have been batting well with runners in scoring position. The term "able to compete" isn't really a phrase used to describe world series teams though, so winning the division might not be a reasonable goal, even though they sit only half a game back after a quarter of the season.

I will take a look at some of the key things that have happened in the last five games tomorrow. I'm too tired to do it tonight.
