Minnesota Twins, Ricky Romero, Scott Diamond, Toronto Blue Jays

In searching for a positive theme to this year, I’ve mostly come up with this: if the season ended today, the East would have three teams in the playoffs, and it would be the teams not in New York and Boston.

The Central’s not so nice, as I’ve taken to watching the Twins on mute [...]

I Wish My Favorite Sports Team Would Stop Being Terrible, Minnesota Twins, Nick Blackburn, Toronto Blue Jays

“It’s been tough to watch lately. Really tough.”

Ricky Romero vs Carl Pavano.

Number of teams to make the postseason since 1995 that started at 12-23: one. The previous team to do that was the Blue Jays in 1989. In 1981, the Royals made the postseason with a worse record after 35 games, but unless the players plan on striking for a third [...]
