Meteorologists – Talk about inconsistent. And let me tell you… they are comfortable with that. I know a couple of them and when they give you a forecast they are quite confident that what they are telling you is going to happen… somewhere. What they struggle with is exactly where a storm will g...4983Mon, 08 Aug 2016 11:56:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/gleeman-amp-the-geek-ep-269-sano-stays-buxton-goes-r4982/http://traffic.libsyn.com/gleemangeek/gatg_8_7_16_final.mp34982Mon, 08 Aug 2016 01:58:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/buxton-stalls-out-again-r4980/With the Twins needing to open a roster spot for Trevor Plouffe's impending return from the disabled list, Buxton was optioned back to Triple-A on Sunday. He was sadly the obvious choice. The center fielder's latest stint in the majors was about as fruitless as all that preceded it. While we have...4980Mon, 08 Aug 2016 00:48:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/game-thread-twins-rays-85-610pm-ct-r4976/1. Counting Sheep – I really don’t know why sheep were chosen as the animal to count when trying to get to sleep but I can tell you this… it works. It shouldn’t... but it does.

Yet, the offense looked like a safe bet to score a ton of runs. The potential power that this group boasted, on paper, led some to w...4974Fri, 05 Aug 2016 03:20:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/hector-quothoudiniquot-santiago-new-pitcher-excels-with-runners-on-r4968/The biggest divide between these two players is how they bear down when things start to not go in their favor.

However, the future is changing and the ticket stub is slowly dying. Ticket stubs are a physical representation of childhood and historical memories.

It began with multiple trades that jolted excitement into a hazy Monday afternoon, and ended with one of the best games the team has played all year.
