10 wins in 12 games? If you believe the Twins can do that, I have some property to sell you. On the moon. You'll be neighbors with Alexi 'space cadet' Casilla.

Arent we just true blue MN sports fans across the board here at AH!?

Holy shit people I know things arent going well for the Twins now but they are only 5 games back with nearly 2 months left in the season. It isnt quite yet time to throw in the towel yet. The winner of the Central is going to be the team that can reel off 10 wins in 12 games between now and the first of October and there is no reason to believe that cant be the Twinkies.

i blame the rotation most of all. Frankie and Baker were supposed to be the best on this team, and have both been, hands down, the worst. And overall the bullpen sucks, but if they only have to pitch 2-3 innings a night, they would be a lot better. When your starters only go 4-5 innings, then you have no choice but to throw freaking Keppel and Crain in there at some point.

It's a good list to keep in mind when you read whining about the Twins "lack of effort" leading up to the non-waiver trade deadline.

Freddy Sanchez wasn't going to move the Twins up 10 spots on that list. Neither would Roy Halladay.

This is a team of extremes and the extremely good (Mauer, Morneau, Nathan) aren't enough to overcome the extremely bad (2nd base, overall starting pitching, etc.).

Who are we going to blame it on? I mean, with all of this deserved Twins negativity there must be some names we can mention. Smih? Baker? Frank? Redmond? Gardy? Bat boy? The Metrodome? The fans? AH!? Umpires? Anderson?(I didn't mean that) Crain? Young? Slowey's wrist?

It sucks to be bad. In a month I hope I can ask the question. Who's to blame for the 5, 6, and 7 game winning streaks we stole the division with? Until then, I'm blaming Gardy. Even though I can't name a reason or replacement (seems to be the popular stance of sports minds around the city) dumb.

if you want to speculate further: if the Twins were in one of those divisions they'd probably have a much worse record, because they'd actually be playing halfway decent teams.

Here's another way to put it. As of August 11, 2009:

In the AL East, the Twins would be in 4th place, 14 games out.

In the AL West, the twins would be in 4th place, 15 games out.
