Yankees 14, Twins 1: Yes, that happened on national TV
Yeah... uh, this was pretty embarrassing to be quite honest. It’s the same story. The Twins played the New York Yankees tonight. The Twins got pulverized by the New York Yankees tonight. It wasn’t even close. The game was 14-1. Twins starter Jake Odorizzi gave up two solo-home runs — one to Miguel Andujar, and another to Giancarlo Stanton. Didi Gregorius hit another home run off Rule 5 Draft Pick Tyler Kinley, and then Ryan LaMarre came in to pitch for the Twins. Yes. RYAN LAMARRE. And Tyler Austin, that asshole, hit a homerun off Ryan LaMarre. I’m still trying to process all of...

New York Yankees vs. Minnesota Twins: Series Preview
Can the Yankees continue their recent run of success against the Twins? After taking three of four against the Blue Jays, the Yankees get to stay in New York for another home series.

Series Preview: Twins will attempt to salvage road trip against Yankees
Four games in the Bronx might be scary for our pitchers. Let’s hope the Twins bring their bats too! Another day, another AL East match up for the Twins. This time they’ll be playing the Yankees. Most people would tell you that the Yankees are better than the Rays, which isn’t ideal seeing as the Twins just dropped their first series of the year to Tampa last weekend. The Yankees are somehow in third place in the AL East, at 11-9. Meanwhile, the Twins will be coming at 8-8, but in second place in the AL-Central; after straight three losses. The Twins will be sending out their top four...

Monday Morning Minnesota: .500, Ex-Twins, and LoMo’s woes
Also why you should eat MLB executives first when resorting to cannibalism in a desert island type scenario. I almost forgot to do this because I was failing at dating, but then I realized my real date is with ALL OF YOU, you unlucky fools. To break the ice, here are some links for you to click and then presumably read, but I mean you already clicked on this article which is all that matters for me so do whatever you want, sheesh. I think we need to see other people. After a depressing series in which seemingly every ex-Twin ever walked off on us, your Minnesota Twins are a .500 team....

Rays 8, Twins 6: Carlos Gomez walks off the Twins
Phil Hughes was shaky early, but bullpen ultimately loses game for Twins. Phil Hughes is finally back; he wasn’t awful but he wasn’t very good either. In the first inning, he threw a lot of pitches and surrendered a 2-run homer to C.J. Cron. Hughes would eventually work out of that inning after a mound visit settled him down somewhat. In the 2nd inning Eduardo Escobar hit a solo home run to right to make the score 2-1. In the third, Eddie Rosario singled to score Brian Dozier from 2nd to tie the game. Hughes worked 1-2-3 innings in the 2nd and 3rd, but opened the 4th with back to...
