This ain't soccer, folks. People have learned to use their arms and hands, there are no 0-0 games, and nobody has to flop around and act like they are hurt. Wave the flags and whatever, make your signs, wear your outfits, scream your lungs out....... but the horns are just annoying.
Refute, dispute, or confirm.
I played in a basketball league for years. The same core of guys on eight teams played for pretty much a decade, with each team obviously having some turnover here and there on the fringes. There...

Sample size and reliability of statistics relates to the data. The sample is the data without the context of watching the performance. Hopefully the Twins employ coaches and scouts that can learn...

Hey that's really super about the foul ball, in 1965, no less! Even though I'd vote for Kirby, I'm heartened by how Twins fans have now embraced their early history. From my far-off perspective, I...

Deduno's biggest hurdle is: Ryan. Placing Deduno in the rotation is spitting in Ryan's face. The premise for starting pitchers in The Twins Way is 6 innings in 100 pitches with 3 earned runs or...

While the rotation suspects were flailing in Florida, Sam Deduno was pitching for real, in games that were meaningful for him and his teammates, against Major League ballplayers. Yes, he struggled...

Why does there have to be just one? Killebrew, Puckett, Mauer ... three different generations, three different Mr. Twins.

Is there a "Blame Butera" category? Did it replace the "Blame Punto?"

By one person...who is apparently a staunch defender of the Pohlads...what with them so spending SO much for a ballpark for their own team (not even the majority of the cost) and them threating to...

He seems more like a contrarian, which makes this even funnier. Whichever way the stream is flowing, Reusse will be fighting the current. That might seem admirable to some, but I wonder if it's...

I used different samples for a few of the charts. The rate charts (IFFB/PA) used 2002-2012 data, which is all that FanGraphs has available. The volume chart used 2004-2012 data to mirror Mauer's...

Hello Folks. This is my first blog post on TD, and, as such, it's probably got some holes. Thanks anyway for reading: It’s been a tough time for Twins fans. Back to back near 100-loss seasons...
