Minnesota Twins Season Over

The 2007 Minnesota Twins season is finally over, but this Minnesota Twins fan is NOT over the disappointing numbers. The Twins finished below .500 for the first times since 2000 ending the season with a 79-83 record, third in the AL Central.

It was not what I expected from the Twins at all. The team won four division titles in the last five seasons and had a string of really solid hitters and pitchers, most of whom played on last years phenom team. I just don’t get it – where did the breakdown for the Minnesota Twins begin? The offensive run production was weak to very weak for much of the season particularly in the latter half. Then there are those pesky Cleveland Indians that swept us more than once and dashed all of our dreams of staying in the pennant race. Injuries to the team didn’t help either and I hope next year the Twins spend more time focusing on their health. Perhaps a new team doctor or nutritionist is needed because the injuries this year were enough to destroy any team.
