2014 All-Star Game at Target Field

We just wanted to update all our great Twins fans about the 2014 All-Star game. The Minnesota Twins will host the Major League Baseball All-Star Game in July 2014 at Target Field! The All-Star baseball's best players will hop into Minneapolis for five days of events at Target Field and the Minneapolis Convention Center. This all leads up to the 85th All-Star Game, which is scheduled to be played on Tuesday, July 15, 2014. It's the first time the Midsummer Classic will take place in Minneapolis since 1985 and the first ever All-Star Game at Target Field. We are so excited to host the game, it's going to be the best thing about next summer.

Minnesota Twins Season Ticket Holders will be among the first fans to receive the opportunity to secure tickets for the 2014 MLB All-Star Events. But, we know you will be able to get tickets from Brokers in the area!

Twins split Ranger series

The Minnesota Twins split the Texas Rangers series at the Metrodome this week ending two of the four games in extra innings. Despite the split, the Twins remain in second place in the American League Central. The Twins lost this afternoons game 7-8 in 10 innings. It was a heartbreaker because the Twins team really rallied to come back from behind to tie. Carlos Gomez was on fire with four hits including a single home run to left field. It was a beauty.

The Twins need to stop making so many errors! I read this stat on the Twins post game notes: The Twins fell to 10-15 when making an error in the game…they have made at least one in five straight games (nine total in those games). Ouch. That’s a lot of errors for a Major League Baseball team. I wonder where they rank in the MLB. If anyone knows, please share with me.


Have a great Memorial Day weekend Twins fans!

Twins look strong against Red Sox

The Minnesota Twins played well against their foes in the American League East, the Boston Red Sox. The Twins hosted the Red Sox in a four game series at the Metrodome and came out on top winning 3 out of the four contests.

Friday: WIN 7-6
Saturday: LOSS 2-5
Sunday: WIN 9-8
Monday: WIN 7- 3

Many Twins nay-sayers predicted a season-long struggle for the Minnesota Twins. In fact, Sports Illustrated picked them to finish last in the American League Central – well, ha! The Twins are now leading the American League Central. Go Twins!

Carlos Gomez Steals Again and Again

Carlos Gomez leads the American League in stolen bases, but he still has a little trouble at the plate so I don’t think he will be breaking the 1982 season American League Rickey Henderson 130 bases record. You gotta get on base in order to steal one. He won't be breaking it this year any way, but maybe some day? I don’t know that is a tough record and Gomez has the tendancy to strike out, but he is young and still has time to smooth out the rough spots. He will definitely be a fun player to watch and I love how nervous the opposing teams pitcher gets when Gomez is dancing around behine them.


It would be nice (and 100% possible) to see Carlos Gomez get 80 stolen bases this year - he already has 13 and we have only played one month of baseball. Last year New York Mets Jose Reyes stole 78 bases, it would be sweet to see Gomez pass him up! I wonder if Carlos Gomez has a Twins locker room nickname? Like Speedy or Grease Lightning… Oh, Google of course can answer that – here are the results I get when looking for Carlos Gomez Nicknames: "Go-Go", "Speedy Gonzalez" and the “Go-Father” – very funny Twins thread – check it out. Looks like “Go-Go” it is. I will be go going to the Metrodome to see Gomez and the other Twins play very soon!

Twins lead American League Central

It feels good to be number one and the view from the top is always sweetest. That’s what our American League Central Division leading Minnesota Twins are saying today! MLB Standings. The Twins are leading the division with a 16-14 record, mostly thanks to a five game win streak. The 16-14 record is the poorest record among the six division leaders so I won’t be breaking out that World Series Homer Hanky just yet, but it is still plenty to be excited about!

The Twins will host another division leader this weekend at the Metrodome when they face the Boston Red Sox. The Red Sox have started out rocky on the road this season and the Twins have a definite chance to win and for sure split the four game series in front of the Metrodome crowd. I wish my mother was a Twins fan because I would love to be at the Dome this weekend! Perhaps I can score some Twins Tickets to Monday nights game! Go Twins!
