Minnesota Twins reveal the new Twins Jerseys

It's no surprise that with the Minnesota Twins moving to a new field, they would release new Twins Uniforms as well. This week at the IDS Crystal Court, Twins Management and members of the Twins Roster were on hand to unveil two new uniforms the Minnesota Twins will be sporting this coming spring.

The first is a 1961 throwback Twins Uniform that will be worn for special home games. The Twins Jersey is off-white with navy blue pinstripes and new lettering across the chest. The second new Twins Jersey is the primary jersey the Minnesota Twins roster will be sporting on the road. The road-jerseys for the Twins will be solid grey (no pinstripes) with Minnesota scripted across the chest. The new Twins Uniforms will not entirely replace the old ones, but players and fans alike are anticipating that we will be seeing lots of the throwback styles next spring.

Don't miss your chance to see these new jersey debut on April 12th 2010 when the Twins take on the Boston Red Sox at the first game at Target Field... Buy Twins Tickets today!

Twins lose big in Boston

I was going to compile my favorite Twins facts from the Minnesota Twins Cleveland Indians series, but I am too depressed over the three losses to the Boston Red Sox the past three days. Sure, I expected the Twins to lose, but I HOPED they could win at least one game. The first games were close, losing by only one run in each of the first two games of the series, but what the heck happened yesterday? The Twins lost 5-18 – ouch. Those 18 runs are going to hurt the stats , that’s for sure. The Strib titled it “Boston holds a tee-off party against Twins.” Yeah, it was a haunting day at Fenway Park. I wish I could forget it and I bet Jason Kubel wishes he could, too.

MLB All-Star Team = Red Sox Team

Wow, this years All-Star team is going to be basically the Boston Red Sox with A-Rod and Derek Jeter. Take a look at the vote count for the American League, Red Sox, Red Sox, Red Sox. Perhaps the Boston Red Sox fans are just trying to jab the New York Yankees fans since the game will be played July 15th at Yankee Stadium. You know how crazy those Red Sox fans are at jinxing those Yankees, well, apparently they all got internet access and voted! Very interesting. It doesn’t look like Twin Justin Morneau or Joe Mauer will be starting this year…sad. Then again, neither one of them has been playing at All-Star levels, let’s hope they both pick up the pace.

Joe Mauer Finally Hits a Homerun

Joe Mauer hit his first home run of the season tonight, finally! He must have read my Minnesota Twins blog and dug out that old dusty quickswing! It was Mauer’s first homerun since a September 29, 2007 game vs. Boston Red Sox. That’s a span of 217 plate appearances between home runs – oh my! I had been slamming Joe Mauer the past couple of weeks (much to my sisters dismay) – I guess I will have to let up a bit now that he broke through the fence.

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!

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!
