Do the MN Twins have an "SI Jinx"? Buck was April's cover boy and injured his knee two weeks in. Now Correa's finger?? 

(Side note: My tongue is firmly planted in my cheek. There's a nice little feature on the new coaches)

Another headline ending in a question mark.  I'm gonna go ahead and answer 'no' without reading. :)

Is "no" the new "yes"?

Just to safe, we should place a moratorium on covers until more research can be conducted.

Let's ask Chief. "Is No the new Yes, or is Yes the new No?"

Maybe Twins Magazine should look ahead to the June 1 schedule and feature a Tigers player on the next cover.

Good point.  We know our players.  Tell me about somebody I don't know!

Yes, No is the new Yes, but No, Yes is not the new No, because Yes, Yes is the old Yes, so also Yes, No is the old No.

Hope that clears it all up.

At 8-20 I feel like just taking the field has been detrimental to the Tigers

Buck and Correa got off easy, the SI curse went and killed Mickey Mantle.

They definitely wouldn't be 8-20 if they didn't take the field!  You may be onto something here!

I can't remember the old coach who came up with this gem:

Reporter: What do you think of your team's execution?

Coach: I'm for it

That's an all-time quote there.

Subsequently quoted by Brian Kelly when he was at Notre Dame.  Because our society is stupid now, a not-small number of reporters decided what Coach Kelly meant is that he would like to kill his players in a ritual manner.

Could it be (fill in the blank). I am afraid that the blank might be " that the Twins can't win unless the opponent scores 2 runs or less?"  Tonight's game now very interesting only in the sense that it seems that there are a bunch of bad/mediocre teams in MLB this year and they are finally playing one of the better ones other than the Dodgers who beat them twice. So far 0-3 against the better teams.

It's rough to put last nights game (or maybe this series) on the team.....not many teams are going to score runs against Verlander when you're missing your top 3 hitters.  Just a rough patch right now with injuries/sickness.

I hope you are right but it does appear that ,so far, there is separation between Yankees, Angels, Astros and the rest of the AL. If the Twins at least split the next 2 with Houston, they need to mop up for the rest of the May schedule.
