I'll take Santiago over Nabisco the cookie tosser any day!

 

[Win TWINS!!!]

Give up expensive crap for cheaper crap!

Can Kepler and Mauer swap contracts?

 

[Win TWINS!!!]

After rocky start, Berrios has locked in. 13 in a row. Good showing so far.

 

[Win TWINS!!!]

Probably facing his last batter, regardless.

Can Kepler and Mauer swap contracts?

Makes you wonder what Ryan was thinking in getting Park and trying to move Sano to OF.

 

[Win TWINS!!!]

Most homers since July 1. Dosier 12. Kepler 11.

 

[powerchord86]

Twins are back!

Kepler = MVP!

I liked what Antony did at the deadline. They don't seem to believe in Meyer anymore, so giving him up to relieve us from having to see Nolasco trotted out every 5 days is worth it. Will be tough to swallow if Meyer ever figures it out though.

Getting anything for Nunez and Abad were no-brainers. Too bad Plouffe has been hurt or I'm guessing he'd have been unloaded as well.

Twins have won 4 of their past 5 series. Is this just another aberration, or is this how they were meant to play?

Playing .500 over their last 60 games. If they had merely been bad instead of abyssmal over the first 6-ish weeks of the season, they'd be in the WC discussion.

Still got the waiver trade deadline.

Still got the waiver trade deadline.

He's going to have to come out pretty darn hot if he's going to fetch much in a trade. He's really struggled this year. At least there's team control for one more year, which could be enticing for some teams.

Tiger fan here, just stopping by to compliment the Twins on a beautiful ballpark. My dad and I try going to as many stadiums/MLB cities as we can (usually 1 a year), Target Field was the 15th we've been to and one of my favorites with PNC Park, Miller Park, Kauffman Stadium, and Camden Yards. Cool city and awesome time, too bad the Twins choked in the 9th and lost in extras the game we went to.

Best of luck in future seasons, I miss despising you guys when we were both good 6-10 years ago. For now please beat the Indians for us Tigers the rest of 2016.

Great to hear you had a good time! What else were you able to do while you were in town? Sights seen?



Yeah - Twins had a nice little run in the 2000s (9 of 10 seasons with winning records). Some fun races down the stretch with the Tigers. Getting under the skin of Ozzie Guillen(amirite @craigk217??? ).

Sadly, they were never able to get over the hump.

Best of luck to el Tigres, and to you and your pops on your continued quest.

That's awesome. My husband and I are on the same quest. Adding The Jake to our list in a few weeks, which will put us up to 12. Target Field is definitely a great park.

We were also at that same game. We haven't seen the Twins win many in person this year unfortunately.

Got there Friday night around 7 central time (the ~11 hour car ride one way sucks) and stayed in Bloomington. Checked out Minnesota's campus (very cool by the way) that night and ate in Dinkytown, then cruised around the city a little afterwards. Spent Saturday at the Mall of America for the first half of the day then took the light rail back downtown for the game. We had to leave relatively early on Sunday morning to get back home around 10pm eastern.

The Jake/Prog is decent, nothing amazing but certainly not a dump either. I was pissed I did not get the Miguel Sano slow globe!
