- 19 hours ago Is Joe Mauer the last link to the Metrodome?
Twinkie Town — If Mauer retires, does that mean the Metrodome will also vanish from my memory? I’m scared. A few weeks ago, when the Twins were feting Joe Mauer in their final game of the regular season, I was in the process of moving. Though I did soak in the replays, I was not able to bask in the moment live or comment too much on the proceedings. Too busy playing shuffleboard with boxes and hauling furniture. By this point with Mauer, the battle lines have already been drawn. Whether you love him, hate him, or are somewhere in-between, that’s probably the way it will always remain. As such,...
19 hours ago - 20 hours ago Target Field Should Have A Baby Brig
Twinkie Town — After all, children need to learn how to swab the poop deck. In a recent post, Andrew detailed the amenities changes being made at Target Field for next season.

Oct 19, 2018 - Oct 18, 2018 Thursday Twins: Looking at the future of the pitching staff
Twinkie Town — The Twins will have money to spend, but should they spend it on a starter? Lets use some links to piece together the answer Derek Wetmore scribbled some numbers on the back of an envelope, and came up with the Twins having roughly $70 million to spend on free agents this off season. One place the Twins may or may not have to spend that money is starting pitching. Matthew Lenz at Zone Coverage looked at who could be in the starting rotation for the Twins next season. Do you think they need some free agent help, or should they roll with their current options? One of the long shots for the...
