As the season has rolled along for the Minnesota Twins, their fan base has gotten a little bit edgy. Part of that was due to their 11 1/2 game lead in the American League Central shrinking down to two games entering Monday’s action. Another factor was the Twins’ unwillingness to make a major move as the trade deadline came and went.
Even as Twins Territory griped about what the Twins could have or should have done, they’re beginning to find their groove as they enter the dog days of summer. The Twins are starting to put up runs again and even though they have their issues in the starting rotation and bullpen, they’re still on pace to win over 100 games for the second time in franchise history and the first time since 1965.
