Ron Gardenhire - Lame Duck???

http://nimg.sulekha.com/sports/original700/ron-gardenhire-2009-8-7-23-41-44.jpg     The last 10 years as a Twins fan have been, for the most part, highly enjoyable. Yes, the last two years have been awful and we all wish our nine would have played better baseball in October. That doesn't change the fact that in my opinion Gardenhire deserves more clarity then what he's been given.   I'm not writing to petition for a three year contract extension for the guy. If the Twins want to make a change I

Talk to Contact: EP 23 - Royal Pains, Hipster Pants, 25-man roster

Episode 23 of the Twins baseball podcast, Talk To Contact (@TalkToContact), is now available for download via iTunes or by clicking here. http://cdn.fansided.com/wp-content/blogs.dir/2/files/2013/02/5311334.jpg This week the Pleiss brothers spend way too much time discussing obscure state capitols and bantering on about MySpace and hipsters but in between those strange and obscure conversations you can find plenty of talk about the Minnesota Twins, including a discussing of the 25-man roster,

From Big Fish to Bottom Feeders: The Real Trouble with the Twins

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 has soured much of the joy of a new outdoor park, and familiar, fan favorite players have made their exits via free agency or trade. Rightfully, the Twins are trying to ready themselves for the coming season, and not dwell on the mountain of on-the-field and front-office failures. Terry Ryan recently

AL Central Team Off-Season Reviews/2013 Team Previews

Hey everyone! I took a look at what each of the 4 other teams in the AL Central were up to this off-season. Once completed, the 4 previews consisted of a lot of words. Really, too many words. Therefore, I split each one up and posted them individually at my blog, Kevin Slowey was Framed!. I thought I would just provide links to each of the 4 previews here, for any who are interested. I swear this was not a ploy to get more pageviews, it was a simple ploy to continue to be lazy even though

Better than the Numbers

The phrase "better than his numbers" was a recent quote by Terry Ryan concerning newly acquired starter Kevin Correia. Now, I admit I have no idea whether Correia is "better than his numbers". I don't remember having seen him pitch and I haven't followed his career. The question for me is, is any pitcher "better than his numbers"?   It is an interesting question for many reasons. A large part of discussion about Jack Morris' suitability for the Hall of Fame centers around this question. Ma

The Progress of Miguel Sano

There is no shortage in interest of Miguel Sano among Minnesota Twins fans. Last weekend, extended lines stretched around the Dome of people waiting to secure an autograph of a player who is still several years away from making his big league debut. This week, MLB.com announced their Top 100 prospects and labeled Sano the best third base prospect in baseball as well as the 12th overall in the game. He’s all the rage. Rarely do I field any question more from Twins fans these days than “When do

Awakening from Hibernation

It’s a ritual that happens every spring. In caves and dens around the country black and brown bears are gradually starting to claw their way to consciousness. The long winter’s sleep is winding down and once again the a new year dawns, filled with times of opportunity and times of crisis, with the chance to excel in the ritual of life and the danger of losing the battle once for all.   In many ways that’s what I feel like as I head into Super Bowl Sunday. Yes, for one more weekend my attention i
