Wow.....hope today's game isn't a microcosm of the season....
Thought they had it at 7-2.

I went to Saturday's game and had a good time. Really glad I didn't go a day later to yesterday's game. And today's game obviously sucked.
2 long tough L's in a row and in 36 hours the bullpen goes from doing great and well rested too in shambles. I'm not happy with the move to send Vargas down. I understand that you have too add a couple arms after yesterday but, Why send down one of your power guys?
Would not be surprised to see more moves coming

2 home games in hand resulting in 2 brutal losses. Welcome back Twins!
I am reminded of the famous Casey Stengel diatribe: "Can't anybody get anybody out around here?" Santana pitches 7 wonderful innings, gives up 1 earned run, and......what? Disaster? To be sure - but what does Falvey do now? It's not like there's a bunch of guys he can bring up to give a shot. He's already done that, pretty much.
I give Kinzsler (sp?) a pass, that blown save isn't normal for him. But JFC.....5 earned runs in 1/3 of an inning isn't even bad, that's beyond pathetic.
Maybe I'm expecting too much, we all knew it would take more than 2 months to rebuild this team.

And then they go to Anaheim and take 3 of 4 from the Angels. Granted, they didn't have Trout, and their pitching is suspect (we beat Nolasco yesterday, and that looked familiar), but I wonder if they could get a special dispensation to play all their games on the road?

Molitor needs to cover Target Field with the opposing team's stadium name going forward.

Been a pretty fun year so far. It's June 5th and twins are still in first place.
Santana and Berrios make an excellent 1-2 punch. If Gibson has things figured out (will he ever?) then they have 60% of a good rotation.
Man it would be really nice if 3 of the Twins top relief prospects weren't hurt in Chargois, Jay & Burdi. Replace Belisle, Haley, and the Wheeler/Pressly/Wilk **** sandwich we've seen this year with those three and the bullpen looks a lot different. They're definitely going to have to find some help somewhere, because that bullpen is just brutal right now.
Mejia might be putting it together a little bit. Maybe? Hopefully.
Was very happy to see the Twins go and get 3 of 4 against the angels after the wheels came off against Houston. Although Houston looks to be the best team in the league right now, Twins still let a couple of those get out of hand.
Hoping to finish the west coast road trip above 500.
