Throwbacks, but hopefully they'll wear them as much as possible.

An announced crowd of 38,145 came to its feet when Jon Rauch, baseball's unlikely save leader, entered for the ninth inning to the sounds of Metallica's "Wherever I May Roam."
Rauch is one of the early feel good stories in baseball this year

I can't believe they wouldn't wear those every game. About a million times better than what they had,

—RHP Carl Pavano continues his renaissance following an injury-riddled and tumultuous three-year stint with the New York Yankees. Since joining the Twins last August in a trade with Cleveland, Pavano is 16-12 with a 4.88 ERA. In two starts this season, Pavano, 34, is 2-0 with a 1.38 ERA. In 13 innings, he's walked one and struck out 10.
Pavano steal of the year for the Twins

The Twins announced they were calling up veteran left-handed pitcher Ron Mahay from Class AAA Rochester and demoting Alex Burnett.
Mahay could have something left in tank

Somebody want to explain this one to me?
Gopher State
Footballguy
My thoughts are that the Twins wanted another LHP in the pen. Mahay, 38, was 1-0 with a 2.00 ERA in 16 appearances with the Twins last season, and was 0-1 with a 1.93 ERA in four appearances with Class A Fort Myers this spring. Burnett, is ok RHP, but I think the Twins wanted something more from the left side.Frostillicus said:

It's the only possible explanation, but I'm not sure why they need three lefties.

Francisco Liriano, seven shut out innings today against Bean Town, if Liriano is back this is large for the Twins.
Twins take 2 out 3 from Boston in first series ever at Target Field, now in 1 place central, it doesn't get any better then this

With their next nine games against Kansas City and Cleveland, the Twins can't allow themselves to do an overconfident thing. The Royals just knocked off Detroit 2 out of 3 and Cleveland did the same thing in Chicago during the opening series of the season. Twins have to win these division games.

The Twins are atop the American League in runs allowed, at 2.9 per game. Twins pitchers rank third in the league with a 2.91 ERA, and the defense has been charged with one error in 11 games. The pitching and defense have played well early on for the Twins, I hope this continues going forward.

The Twins for the first time in club history, have won their first four series to open a season. Their 9-3 start is their best since 2001. Twins going for the first sweep at Target Field today.

The Twins are 3-for-19 with the bases loaded and batting .244 with runners in scoring position. This has to improve or the Tigers will run away with the central.

Three weeks into the season, the Twins have showed signs of being a great defensive unit. Through 13 games, they have committed only one error, the fewest in baseball (the next closest teams, the Indians and Yankees, have committed four each).

Twins beat the Indians 6-0 tonight, Liriano dropped his ERA to 1.29 with an impressive performance pitching 8 shut out innings. For the Twins to win the central they need Liriano to keep up his comeback year.

Was at the game tonight.
Slowey looked very, very good. Grady Sizemore looks ####### terrible at the plate. What the hell is up with that guy?
All you clowns that laughed at outdoor baseball in April in Minneapolis should be ashamed. Was 74 degrees today!.

3B Nick Punto missed his sixth straight game because of a sore groin muscle. Starting to get a little worried about Punto

At 11-5, the Twins are off to their best start since 2004, and they have won their first five series for the first time in team history. In Francisco Liriano, who pitched 15 scoreless innings combined in home victories against Boston and Cleveland, they might have rediscovered an ace.

Punto is terrible. His defense has declined a bit and his bat is absolutely anemic. The alternative in Harris isn't any better though.3B Nick Punto missed his sixth straight game because of a sore groin muscle. Starting to get a little worried about Punto

With a lineup like the Twins have, I'm fine with the 3b being a defensive specialist - I'm just not sure they have one.Punto is terrible.

Infield excellence continues by Twins
Minneapolis Star & Tribune
There are more gauges than errors to judge a defense. But the Twins' lack of errors has reached unprecedented levels.
They again played error-free ball in Friday's 8-3 victory over the Royals. Their only error of the season was committed by outfielder Delmon Young. They have gone all 17 games without an error by an infielder, the longest streak in the major leagues in the expansion era (since 1961).
The previous high for errorless games by an infield was 12 by the 2005 Cincinnati Reds.
Nice win by the Twins last night, good start to the Road trip

An MRI revealed no damage to Twins 3B Nick Punto's sore right groin, but he'll have further tests on his hip to determine if the pain is coming from there.

Two out of three sounds pretty good. I'm still nervous about Liriano, it seems like when players get off to hot starts it's the fourth start where they come crashing back to earth, and I've never trusted Baker - he always makes me nervous. Hopefully they can win the Pavano game and one of the other two.

Through 5, Liriano has been throwing a sick slider today. Good to see his command of the game coming back.

Liriano (3-0) has now delivered three consecutive scoreless starts. He blanked Boston for seven innings and Cleveland for eight before pitching 8 scoreless innings against the Tigers. His era .93, with 27k in 29 innings maybe this kid can make it all the way back.
