Twins earn a split of the series with Texas and are now 11-10 on the year. Kevin Correia pitched 8 scoreless innings, scattering 6 hits and picking up 2 strikeouts. He leads all Twins pitchers in Wins (3) and starters in ERA (2.23) and WHIP (1.07). Morneau hit his 2nd HR of the year, a [...]
The Mountie walks off the Tribe with a 9th inning home run, his second donger of the game, and the Dunce gets a win.

Can of Corn  August 12th, 2012, at 6:01 pm  - (Sorry, but the time to add LTEs has expired) Justin Morneau, Scott Diamond, Span They lost again today, their fifth in a row. Needless to say, they were swept in a 3 game series by the Devil Rays. Diamond picked up a no decision, Burnett took the loss. Morneau hit a 2-run homer, his 16th and Span injured his shoulder on a sprawling attempt at a catch in short [...]
Can of Corn  July 17th, 2012, at 8:09 pm Sorry, but the time to add LTEs has expired Denard Span, Justin Morneau, Scott Diamond, winning streaks Couldn’t leave that one without a recap, though I did not see it or hear much of it.
Twins scored 7 runs in the bottom of the first, added 1 in the second, 2 in the third and another in the fourth. It wasn’t until the fifth that they failed to score during the home-half [...]
Can of Corn  May 27th, 2012, at 11:54 pm  - (Sorry, but the time to add LTEs has expired) Blown saves, Justin Morneau, Matt Capps The Tigers complete the three-game sweep in Minnesota. It’s easy enough to pin this one on Capps. After all, he did snatch a win out of P.J.’s (and the Twins’) hands by giving up the go-ahead runs in the top of the 9th. However, it was his first blown save in 10 chances and the [...]
New Guy  April 12th, 2012, at 4:04 pm  - (Sorry, but the time to add LTEs has expired) boooooo, hackneyed writing, Justin Morneau, unbelievable game The hero closed his eyes as he concentrated on his hands. The rope had gone beyond chafing, he was now gripping it so tightly that he imagined the particles in the rough fibers and in his skin mixing and merging until they were indistinguishable from each other. He could hold on forever. For the rest [...]
Can of Corn  April 8th, 2012, at 8:59 pm  - (Sorry, but the time to add LTEs has expired) Hammel = Jeremy?, Justin Morneau, Slushcicle, There's no "O" in Twins Boy…I’m glad I didn’t get to catch much of this game live. Even in fast-forward, I caught myself grimacing with each passing inning. Hardy led off the scoring for Baltimore by belting a solo home run to left-center (while playing solid defense throughout the series. I know it’s stupid, but I still can’t figure out [...]

The Twins are consistently running out a lot of players who are either just very bad (the catchers, most of the bullpen, Casilla/Tolbert) or some combination of pretty limited and in over their heads (Hughes, Revere, Tosoni, probably Plouffe – although he’s been great offensively in all of [...]

The Spurs and Heat are going to a seventh game after by far the best game of the series (and most series). Let’s just avoid a blowout in the end, alright?
