Minnesota Twins have one more chance to beat the Detroit Tigers this afternoon

It's hard to be a Minnesota Twins fan right now. I think I've done it to myself, I was so optimistic at the beginning of the Detroit Tigers - Minnesota Twins series, I really thought that my boys had a series sweep in them... with the post season on the line, I thought that the Twins would play their hearts out... not so much.

While there hasn't been an overwhelming, WHAT WERE YOU THINKING? moment that I can point to and say.. right there, that's when we lost it, I don't think that matters. After a great win on Tuesday morning, the Minnesota Twins lost the second game on Tuesday 5-6 and Wednesday (yesterday's game) 2-7.

The Twins face the Tigers for the last time today at 12:05. What I'm looking for is the Twins to redeem themselves. I want to see the Twins Roster play hard and end up on top. The way I see it, if the Twins can win today and then sweep the Kansas City Royals in their last home series at the Metrodome and the Tigers lose the rest of their games, we could still see the post season. So I'm cutting this post short so that I can be in front of the TV for the first pitch and I intend on sending as much Twinkie Love to my boys as possible, I would like you to do the same!

Check back next week for a game re-cap and previews for the KC Royals series!

Minnesota Twins take on the Toronto Blue Jays

The Minnesota Twins start their second road series today against the Toronto Blue Jays. With a 12:07 game, I'm hopeful that my boys will realize it is the middle of the day and won't think it is bedtime, because they can't sleep through this series like they have seemed to do for several other road series this season. With the Minnesota Twins regular-season coming to a screaming close it is time to get really serious about baseball if we plan on seeing the play-offs.

After 4 games with our Northern Neighbors, the Minnesota Twins will return home where the countdown to the last Twins game in the Metrodome is well under way. Starting Friday there are 12 home games left in the HHH Metrodome. So if the potential of play-offs wasn't enough to get you off the couch and in the seats, remember that this is your last shot at Minnesota Twins baseball in the Dome. Twins Tickets continue to get harder to find, so don't wait to long unless you want to say goodbye to the dome through a TV screen!

Chicago White Sox win against Minnesota Twins and the playoffs get a little farther away

The Chicago White Sox ended the three game series at the Metrodome last night by beating our Twins 4-2 yesterday. Twins fans were hopeful that the series would be a sweep and the gap for the play-offs would be closed a little tighter. After the disappointing loss the Minnesota Twins are now 4 and a half games behind the division leader and have will have to make up lots of room if they plan on seeing the play-offs.

My boys have the day off and I hope they are spending it practicing and pulling it together because they take off tomorrow for a 3 game road series against the Cleveland Indians and then immediately following that they head to Toronto for a 4 game series against the Blue Jays.

I'm hoping that with a great two road series the Twins will be back on top as they return to the Metrodome late next week and start the final countdown to Goodbye HHH. Minnesota Twins Tickets will be very hard to get a hold of once the team returns from Toronto, so if you plan on catching any of the last 12 games at the Metrodome Buy Minnesota Twins Tickets today!

Is their Mojo back?

With the season not even at the half way point, Twins fans have already been through the roller-coaster of ups and downs that true fans have come to associate with Twins baseball. With some pre-season success in the exhibition games I was hoping that this would be our season, and then spring rolled in and we had pitching issue after pitching issue and we couldn't seem to pull it together at all on the road starting the season with a 4-14 record on the road.


But times may be changing again, our Twins have managed to win 6 of the last 9 road games and are heading into a 4th of July weekend series at the Metrodome against the Detroit Tigers who lost their last on the road series against Houston. Leaving this Twins fan to wonder, have we gotten our Road Mojo back?

I think that the combination of winning last week, the smell of domedogs, and the roar of the home-town crowd will be enough to pull out another winning series, something that the team and fans both need! With the record over the .500 mark (41-39) I certainly hope that the next set of games in the Dome will only help that number climb!
