Twins win 2 out of 3 and it ain't bad

Hi Readers, well summer is here in Minneapolis. We have 70-80 degree weather everyday, so I claim it is summer and not spring. I watched some sports this weekend including three Twins games and the Minnesota Wild season closer.

The Twins are rolling and they took 3 out of 3 from the Athletics and 2 out of 3 from the New York Yankees. This team just needs to keep playing competitive baseball and it will be in good shape when they hit the end of the season. Well players like Hunter, Morneau, Nathan, and Rincon have looked good. But players like Santana, White, Silva, and Crain have looked bad.



The Twins need to go 12-12 to be fine going into May. So this is what the need to do:


Los Angelos Angels of Anaheim Home
2 out 3 Record 8-7
Chicago White Sox Away
1 out 3 Record 9-9

Kansas City Royals Away
2 out 3 Record 11-10

Detroit Tigers Away
1 out 3 Record 12-12


I like how this division is looking also. Nobody is going way in front the division is staying close and our pitchers are going to come through in the end. I think the World Baseball Classic really screwed up the conditioning of Carlos Silva, Johan Santana, and Jesse Crain. But I think with a couple more starts Silva will get his sinker going and Santana will fill more comfortable with his pitches. And Jesse Crain needs to relax and not try to hard and press. Rondell White is pressing and I say Gardy keep him in the four hole and he will play dividends because this lineup is perfect.

Other Minnesota Sports News:

The Minnesota Wild season is over and we missed the playoffs. The Wild need to sign Gaborik to a long term contract and get key scorers next to him. They also need to get rid of the bad defensemen and get 6 soild ones. I would keep

Schultz
Tjarnquist
Burns
either
Zyzuin or Skoula
either
Foster or Kuba

The Minnesota Timberwolves are finally getting it lose and lose some more to keep that draft pick. They have one more game againest Memphis, and Coach Casey please lose and Kevin McHale start cleaning house. Players who should stay:

C Eddie Griffin
PF: Kevin Garnett
SF: Ricky Davis
SG: Rashad McCants
PG: Marcus Banks

Bench:
C: Mark Blount
PF: Mark Madsen
SF: Justin Reed
SG: Trenton Hassell
PG: ????

Get Rid of:
Marko Jaric
