Official 2009 Mn Twins thread!

How bout our Joey!?!  What is the deal... averaging a tater every three at bats or somthing like that!   The only decent explaination was Justin saying somthing like hes getting his power suddenly because he's maturing as a hitter a bit as hes gotten a few years under his belt... I think he went down to the minors and was either given some great batting advise or he got some weird potien from a MLB witchdoctor...

Was at the game on Sat. Thank god we put up three runs early to shut them brewer fans up! I don't know what the deal was, but we were in a sea of "let's go brewers" chants for two long innings until we put up some runs. Got to see Crede and Maur hit solo's, and great game all around.

New pitcher (can't remember the last name) seemed to hold up quite well, only 4 or 5 hits, then our shaky bullpen finished up with nailbiting status once again.

Mauer is on a tear!

It is so hard not to turn away when the Angels are just baby slapping the Twins all over the place, third game in a row.....

Besides them being two really good teams, Why is it we cant get a game from the Yankees or the Angels lately?  Both of em treat us like we're a AA club, but then again, our pitching staff has looked AA or worse lately, except Nathan of course... that guy's an animal!  But yeah... we play so tough against our division, especially Chicago... maybe our division aint what it used to be...

Twins picked up a reliever from the diamondbacks today.

Thats cool... we need alot of bullpen help.... Has anyone heard about that Cubs starter, is it Hardin?  I was hoping we'd get him... even if we dont win the division or into the playoffs, we're gonna need arms for next year... in the new digs!

We claimed Harden off waivers, but have not been able to work out compensation with the cubs yet.  Expersts are predicting he will stay this the cubs.
