Twins Looking to Take 3 of 4 from Texas

The Minnesota Twins will be trying to win this series in Arlington, Texas tonight by winning 3 of 4 games. Well, they have the perfect guy to do it tonight. Scott Baker is pitching tonight for the Minnesota Twins. Baker has won his last five decisions and says he is feeling much better after sitting out with elbow soreness before the All Star break.

Baker will face a loaded Texas Ranger lineup and his pitching counter part is Matt Harrison. Harrison is having a very solid season. He is 8-7 with a 3.05 ERA. Thankfullly Scott Baker is coming off a stretch where he is 6-1 with a 1.50 ERA in his last seven starts.

Baker only threw 82 pitches in his last outing against Detroit in which he last 5 innings and gave up no runs.

Matt Harrison is 0-2 with a 7.36 ERA in two starts against Minnesota.

The Minnesota Twins Home Opener is Just 3 Days Away...

It is finally here, after lots of anticipation, waiting and Twins Roster drama the Minnesota Twins Home Opener is a mere 2 days away!! I am so pumped!

On Monday April 12th at 3:00 the Minnesota Twins will take on the Boston Red Sox at the Twins Inaugural Home Opener at Target Field. Although lots of Minnesota Twins Fans (myself included) caught a sneak peak of Target Field at the Twins Exhibition Games nothing beats the Home Opener. For me the Twins Home Opener is the official sign that spring is here and it is time to start thinking about summer baseball games and sunshine.

I just looked up the Weather for Target Field on Monday April 12th... There are supposed to be early scattered showers and a high of 66 degrees, PERFECT to sit in the stands at Target Field. I won't be there (Twins Home Opener Tickets were way too expensive for me) but for all of you who will be there... ENJOY!!

Joe Mauer officially a Minnesota Twins Player until 2018... insert sigh of relief here

A collective sigh of relief was let out yesterday when the Minnesota Twins and Joe Mauer announced that the hometown golden boy from Cretin would be staying in the Twin Cities until 2018. The MN Twins and Joe Mauer came to an 8 year, $184 million contract extension.

"It's the fourth-largest contract -- both in total value and annual salary ($23 million) -- in Major League history" -mlb.com. Local Twins Fans and Critics are saying it is one of the best things that could have happened to the Minnesota Twins. With Joe Mauer a part of the Twins Line up until 2018, the Minnesota Twins may have the "star power" necessary to pull in some other big names. Players respect Joe and want to be on his team...

With the added revenue from advanced Twins Target Field Tickets, it seems like the Twins have this years pay increase covered... it will be interesting to see what the Minnesota Twins do to insure they have what it takes to pay Mauer what they have promised him, especially considered it is rumored Mauer's contract alone could be as much as 25% of the Twins Salary Budget.
