I’d decided that late last week. The Twins are struggling but still have a heartbeat. The Yankees have pains of their own. The saga’s supposed to take a turn for the Tw...1763Sat, 06 Jul 2013 00:51:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/holiday-mailbag-r1761/Holiday Mailbag? Holiday Mailbag. I hope everyone had a fun and leisurely 4th. I kept it cool, just hanging out in my house and laying low. I watched the Twins game Thursday and I was saddened by Kyle Gibson's performance. I think he'll bounce back, but seeing him struggle was a good reminder t...1761Fri, 05 Jul 2013 12:47:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/trade-talk-the-new-york-mets-r1758/Buyers or Sellers As we sit here in early July, the Mets are about a dozen games behind the Atlanta Braves in the NL East.

That was a great story, but this feels completely different. This year the Pirates are 20 games over .500 and were the first team in MLB to win 50 games. Of course, last...1757Thu, 04 Jul 2013 13:21:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/20-twins-trades-scott-erickson-for-dreck-r1755/Just one day after trading away Rick Aguilera, one of the more popular players on the Twins team, General Manager Terry Ryan's bloodlust was cresting and he was hungry for another trade.

Well, at least as far as voting for the 2013 MLB All-Star Game in New York City. There is some debate over who should make the club. Some voters like to pick the players that have had the best first half of a season in 2013. Others look at the last calendar year and try p...1754Wed, 03 Jul 2013 14:34:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/play-at-the-plate-angers-twins-manager-r1753/The cause of an injury to one of his hottest hitters in June, from what was an avoidable play by Indians’ catcher Yan Gomes, is not ignored by manager Ron Gardenhire.

Let go of your stoic Minnesotan demeanor for one minute and confess: you enjoy watching those pampered Gothamites get their come-upance.
