Let's see horrible % with RISP, a bunch of solo HRs, bullpen collapsing....

 

Are you the A's played the Sox and not the Twins?

 

Anyway, can't say I didn't love watching that Twins dugout on TV at the end of the game.

The Twins season next year is pretty dependant on Liriano imo. If he's healthy they're going to be pretty darn good again, if he's not, they wont even be a thought. Radke is going to retire and Matt Garza is going to be a disappointment. Oh ya, Jason Tyner isn't going to hit .312 again, Jason Bartlett isn't going to hit .309 again, hell Nick Punto will not hit .290 again. If the Twins win it's going to be on the arms of the two studs at the top, only problem for them is I doubt Liriano can make it through a whole season healthy.

I agree, they had an awful lot of guys in the lineup producing well over their career numbers. Even Morneau and Cuddyer are no locks to repeat their performances (though I wouldn't bet against the former). That'd make my off-season if they don't do anything major, I don't see a run like they had from June on happening again.

I still think Mauer's knee could be an issue as time goes on.

Dear Justin Morneau,

 

Perhaps next time, instead of saying that the one thing you want to do is keep the White Sox out of the playoffs, maybe you should considering offering up this little tidbit, "I want to win the World Series and I don't care who we have to beat to do it."

 

Love,

 

...O' Corn

 

PS. Hope that wedge treats you well this offseason. Well, actually, I hope someone beats you over the head with it.

yes, if there was ever a team to regress, the 2006 twins are it.

I agree about the offense, but I think the pitching is better then you give them credit for. Why do you think Garza will be a disappointment? Granted, he's no Santana, but I think he can be a solid #3 pitcher. I like Bonser a lot, but he needs to stay healthy. Anything they get out of Liriano is a plus.

 

 

But it's Minnesota's bullpen that's awesome.
