 Big Mak  July 8, 2009, at 12:59 pm  11 LTEs - (Sorry, but the time to add LTEs has expired)  Kansas City Royals, Minnesota Twins Moving is a frustrating endeavor. First off, it’s hard work, and secondly, we didn’t have any TV or internet so I wasn’t able to properly follow the Twins for quite a bit while we were moving in. Fortunately there was a solution to both of those dilemmas. Wednesday afternoon found me and Mrs. Mak [...] Big Mak June 26, 2009, at 8:00 am 7 LTEs - (Sorry, but the time to add LTEs has expired) Minnesota Twins, Series Preview in Blog, St. Louis Cardinals St. Louis is currently in first place in the NL Central, one game up on the Brewers. They are returning from a 4-3 road trip, where they swept the Royals before losing 3 of 4 to the Mets. The Cards have a pretty good home record (21-16) while the Twins road record is [...] Big Mak June 25, 2009, at 6:00 am 7 LTEs - (Sorry, but the time to add LTEs has expired) Beloit Snappers Due to our impending move to Kansas, catching Snappers games is about to become a lot more difficult just due to sheer distance. Thus, we took advantage last weekend and took in the last game of the first half of the season for Beloit against the Quad Cities River Bandits (Cardinals A affiliate). This [...] Big Mak June 23, 2009, at 6:00 am 2 LTEs - (Sorry, but the time to add LTEs has expired) Milwaukee Brewers, Minnesota Twins, Series Preview in Blog The Brewers did the Twins no favors, getting swept by the Tigers this weekend. How are the Twins supposed to catch the Tigers if they keep staying above .500? You say they could win enough games that they too will be above .500? You mean more than one game above .500? That sounds [...] 40 posts and 1,943 LTEs, did you read everything? ARTICLES ubelmann Getting Harder To Win on the Road? SBG Convention GAME LOGS & SERIES PREVIEWS Big Mak June 19, 2009, at 8:41 am 27 LTEs - (Sorry, but the time to add LTEs has expired) Houston Astros, Minnesota Twins, Series Preview in Blog The Astros come to town finishing a nine-game road trip. Houston lost 2 of 3 to Texas this week, which marked their first series loss in June (10-6 in the month). That mild hot streak has not moved them up in the standings, as they remain in last place in the NL Central, [...] Big Mak June 16, 2009, at 8:00 am One LTE - (Sorry, but the time to add LTEs has expired) Minnesota Twins, Pittsburgh Pirates, Series Preview in Blog "Ladies and gentlemen, we have our first mediocre Pirates team since 1997." - Burgher Jon @ The Pittsburgh Men's Blogging Society The Pirates come to Minnesota winners of four of their last five, and unbridled optimism is the mood of Pirates fans. They are a mere four games out of first place [...] Big Mak June 12, 2009, at 10:41 pm 12 LTEs - (Sorry, but the time to add LTEs has expired) Minnesota Twins History Fantastic game this afternoon, tons of fun to take in a Twins victory at Wrigley. We were amazed at the number of Twins fans. I saw in the game log that the TV announcers mentioned the great turnout of Minnesota fans, but it was really something to behold. Mrs. Mak and I kept track [...] Big Mak June 12, 2009, at 8:12 am 4 LTEs - (Sorry, but the time to add LTEs has expired) Chicago Cubs, Minnesota Twins, Series Preview in Blog The Twins travel to Wrigley to finish off their road trip (3-4 so far). Meanwhile the Cubs come back home to where they haven't lost a series since April. Both teams are hovering right around .500 (Cubs are currently on the good side, 29-28) so I'm fully expecting the teams to somehow find [...] Big Mak June 5, 2009, at 8:00 am 33 LTEs - (Sorry, but the time to add LTEs has expired) Minnesota Twins, Seattle Mariners, Series Preview in Blog It seems like the Twins and Mariners have played each other a ton already this season. But we'll give it another go this weekend, this time in Seattle. Let's see what USS Mariner and Lookout Landing have to say one more time. Yesterday was an off day for Seattle, and [...] Big Mak June 2, 2009, at 8:00 am 6 LTEs - (Sorry, but the time to add LTEs has expired) Cleveland Indians, Minnesota Twins, Series Preview in Blog My word is this team bad on the road. Just think if the Twins had an experience like the Yankees in Cleveland and got kicked out of their hotel. Half the team probably wouldn't even make it to the ballpark. Gardy would have to send Justin, Jason, and the three Joes [...] Big Mak June 1, 2009, at 7:00 am 8 LTEs - (Sorry, but the time to add LTEs has expired) Beloit Snappers, On the Farm A week ago, the Snappers beat the Wisconsin Timber Rattlers 4-0 in a game that didn't see any scoring until the eighth inning. Joe Testa started for the Snappers and pitched the first three innings before giving way to Bradley Tippett (I assume this was by design, because Testa certainly wasn't struggling - [...] Big Mak May 29, 2009, at 8:00 am 4 LTEs - (Sorry, but the time to add LTEs has expired) Minnesota Twins, Series Preview in Blog, Tampa Bay Rays The Twins start a road trip with a weekend series against Tampa Bay. Minnesota's road woes are well documented (5-14) so hopefully this series against a team struggling with higher expectations this year will get them on track. Tampa Bay currently sits at 23-27, fourth in the AL East, only percentage points above [...] Big Mak May 25, 2009, at 8:00 am 5 LTEs - (Sorry, but the time to add LTEs has expired) Boston Red Sox, Minnesota Twins, Series Preview in Blog The Red Sox come to town to start off a ten-game road trip with a 4-game series with the Twins. Boston lost 2 of 3 against the Mets this weekend, and lost 3 of their 4 series on the road this month. Overall, the Sox are 9-12 on the road, but remain in [...] Big Mak May 20, 2009, at 10:00 am 10 LTEs - (Sorry, but the time to add LTEs has expired) Beloit Snappers, On the Farm |
 No truth to the rumor that Chuck Berry is slated to play the halftime of the Super Bowl next year. |
