Twins Manage To Sweep Athletics - By The Skin of their Chins

 After five losses in a row, the Twins managed to eek out a sweep of the Athletics this week. Why does this always happen? The Twins always have this rollercoaster ride of wins and losses where we think they're finally on track and then they just lose momentum. I'm not just talking about this year - I'm talking about every.single.season. This team (like all of the other Minnesota sports teams, for that matter) really knows how to gain a crowd and let that whole crowd down. It's exactly why Minnesota fans are bandwagon jumpers. They get sick of getting their hearts broken by teams that always fall apart just as they're getting good. I really hope that the Twins came prove me wrong this year. There are a lot of games left on the Twins schedule this season - so they definitely have the opportunity to!

Twins doing...okay?

A couple of weeks ago, a lot of Twins fans held out absolutely no hope for what this season held. And then they went on this road trip. To be honest, I haven't been paying too much attention to what's been going on with the Twins schedule. My own life has taken precedence over their less-than-mediocre kickoff to the season. I've still been going to some home games, but I haven't been as avid of a fan as I have in seasons past. And then, earlier this week, I got an email from my Twins rep telling me about how the team won six out of the last eight games and that corporate interest in the team had really picked up over the past few weeks.

They lost last night, but it doesn't bother me too much. This team has actually started to get their act together, and a weekend series at home might be just what the doctor ordered to KEEP these guys on the right track of winning games. I'm actually excited, for the first time in quite a while, to hit up a couple of games this Memorial Day Weekend! We might not be the worst team in baseball afterall!

Justin Morneau and the Minnesota Twins Roster

It's not a secret that the Minnesota Twins roster has been struggling so far this year. Part of that is due to the number of players - good players - that have been delegated to the disabled list. That list includes Twins superstar Justin Morneau, who was sidelined due to experiencing severe pain in his wrist that was surgically fixed during the off-season.

Despite his not great start to the season, Morneau has made known his dedication to this team and has told team manager Ron Gardenhire that he wants to return to his position with the team ASAP. He doesn't like sitting out games and not being able to help out his team.

Cheers to Morneau's dedication and hoping that he's back soon - the Twins are in desperate need of their power hitter being back on the team.

Minnesota Twins: The Worst Team in Baseball

The Twins own the worst record in Major League Baseball right now.

I just wanted to let that soak in for a minute. They are legitimately awful. They can't seem to get into a groove and stick there like they have in years past.

That being said, it could be an alright thing that they're switching up their level of play. In previous years, they've been great right off the bat but haven't been able to stick to that consistency throughout the season. Maybe they're starting off terrible but will be great by June?

One can only hope.

Until then, we will sit here. Not watching their games (because they break my heart every night) and just hoping that a W comes up on the stats after the game.

New Twins Gear For Chilly Weather

Oh, Twins. How disappointing you've been for the last few games. So disappointing that I'm not even going to talk about how terrible you've been playing. Instead, I'm going to post about this fantastic Twins sweatshirt I found and why I absolutely need to have it. Victoria's Secret makes absolutely the BEST Twins gear around. At least for women. The design is much more girly and the FIT is actually made for a woman - you're not putting on a man's shirt that's clearly not made for a woman. Not so cute. This sweatshirt IS so cute! I love the metallic red and silver writing, I love the cute "Take Me Home" saying...it's a need. So even if you're cheering on the Twins roster and they pretty much don't deserve your cheering, you'll still look like an oh-so-cute Twins fan at the game. Oh, VS MLB gear, how I do love you.
