We don't know yet whether Joe Mauer will be selected the American League's Most Valuable Player.

To trade Joe Nathan or to not trade Joe Nathan ... Last update: October 13, 2009 - 10:23 PM Patrick Reusse kicked up a spirited debate by suggesting, among other things, the Twins should trade closer Joe Nathan.

If Mark Teixeira 's game-winning homer in the 11th inning Friday night still seems like a blur, that's because it truly was one.

Joshua Robinson was in the Bronx providing updates on Game 2 of the Twins-Yankees division series.

It isn't often you see a manager come out to the mound to take the ball away from his closer, especially if the closer is Joe Nathan .

Mark Teixeira hit a leadoff homer in the 11th inning to give the New York Yankees a 4-3 victory over the Minnesota Twins on Friday night and 2-0 lead in their AL playoff series.

Brad Radke, as gritty as he was, could not pitch on short rest. Not only was he no good at it, but he also hated the very thought of it.

Minnesota Twins manager Ron Gardenhire was upset with a pitcher after the Twins and Detroit Tigers exchanged beanballs in Thursday's game.

This is the final regular-season series at the Dome before Target Field opens next year.

Posted on October 2nd, 2009 4:36 PM By La Velle Jose Mijares has been fined an undisclosed amount for throwing behind Adam Everett during Thursday's game with the Tigers.

Detroit -- Has a batter ever been hit by a pitch and charged his own pitcher? Probably about as often as a team that's a victory away from clinching a division championship getting smacked with three ejections.

Ron Gardenhire is generally regarded as a good manager. He is a likable man and a likable manager, but that doesn't mean he isn't second-guessed. Yesterday, in both games of a crucial doubleheader, Gardy made some questionable decisions.

It's probably a silly suggestion, but they've sure been playing well while he's out.

The Twins bullpen, an area of concern since early last year, looks a little better right now.

He just knows that for right now, the rookie starter is right where the Twins need him.

Posted on September 14th, 2009 3:19 PM By La Velle First baseman Justin Morneau A and DH Jason Kubel are not in tonight's lineup, but Kubel being 1 for 10 against Jeremy Sowers might have something to do with his absence too.

Late last month, Twins manager Ron Gardenhire called for bullpen help, saying Minnesota's front office "can't screw around" this offseason when it comes to adding relievers.

Cabrera tied it with a leadoff shot to left in the sixth and Morneau hit a two-out tiebreaking drive to right in the eighth for his 30th homer.

First a note to the FSN network: Chicago manager Ozzie Guillen is a colorful character -- we get it.

Jose Morales hadn't had a big league at-bat since July 11, when he delivered a two-run, pinch-hit single off White Sox closer Bobby Jenks.
