Carlos Gomez comes off the top of Minnesota Twins' lineup

Ron Gardenhire wanted to avoid this. The Twins manager had been worried that moving Carlos Gomez out of the leadoff spot would "knock his socks off," especially if Denard Span took his place at the top of the ...

Stop acting like AA ball players. Guys, you are on the same level as these knuckleheads. Maybe you dont go home to Madonna, but lets face it, who the hell would want to. Yuuuuuuuuuck.

Grow up and start acting like you belong.

- Or -

Get back on the plane, that really should be a AA bus and go beat up on teams where you feel more in you comfort Zone.

Isnt there a Twin that has the balls to say this to your teammates? It happens year after year when you get back East.

Guys (or should I say Girls) did you hear Jeter may be dating Britney? There's another reason to jestate or pontificate again....

It sure does seem that certain teams are just out of reach for the Twins. Kind of depresssing when you start getting ideas about the home stretch.

Twins should just hop on the team bus and go straight to the airport and forget about playing today since they have no shot to win at all.

This series and the series at Fenway just show how far from being a real contender the Twins are.

This is NOT a great Yankess team either. They've trotted out two pitchers who wouldn't make the Twins rotation and the last three batters in their lineup make Gomez look like Ted Williams.
Our players look nervous and tentative when they play in Yankee stadium---like AA minor leaguers called up to the bigs for the first time. I know Mauer is a great hitter, but I wonder how well he'd hit (he's hitting almost 100 points lower on the road) if he occasionally swung at a first pitch fastball down the middle instead of the 2-2 breaking ball on the corner (this goes double for Kubel)? And we really need Cuddyer back to protect Morneau or he won't get a decent pitch to hit the rest of the year. By the way, Slowey (who I like) struggles a few games in a row and no one suggesting bringing up a certain minor league pitcher???
