what will the Twins do with Ramos when Mauer returns? Ramos is hitting near .780. This kid can flat out hit.

He'll go back down where he can play every day. He needs to continue to work on his defense a bit.

The Twins have taken the first 2 games with 2 very nice starts by their pitchers. Baker pitched 7 good innings last night and Blackburn threw a CG, scattering 11 hits.
Going for the sweep tomorrow.

Nice win tonight. We added to our lead in the AL Central. Lets get the brooms out and sweep the Tigers.

Sad day in baseball land, Harwell passed away. One of the greats in broadcasting baseball games ever..

Twins swept the Tigers 5-4 today. Baker gets the win and Rauch gets his 8th save of the season.

Slowey got the win today. He seems to run into a wall in the 5th inning, though. The pen gets a few innings in his starts. Fortunately, Blackburn didn't need any help yesterday.

Slowey needs to keep the ball in the park. looks like he needs to get the ball down it the zone, to many balls letter high..
