It's a bit disheartening to see how many games the Twins have blown in the past month. Some of those we were leading by 5 runs or more going into the 6th inning!
The Twins have some young players, but I just don't know if a default answer of being "a young team" is applicable? We also have some veterans that I'd like to think can pick up these younger guys and help them along.
Still though, it's exciting to watch them play and I'd much rather seem them a game out fighting for the playoffs (or divisional championship) than be 20 games out and playing for next year.

My thoughts excatly. If Twins had played better defense and not blowing large margin leads, they would be probably 5-7 games ahead in the divison!!!! Time is running out, time to start winning.

Agreed!
I was listening to the East Coast lovers ESPN go on about the Beast from the East, just saying how great the AL East was compared to the rest of the AL and they were saying that there were only 3 teams in the AL over .500 outside the AL East, I'm guessing us, the Twinks and the Angels.

As bad as you think the Twins are, the White Sox are only 1 game better! And there are only a few teams that have a better record then the Twins. Thats true, but what does that got to do with winning the division or the wild card? WE need to win games to make the playoffs not just to have a better record than 1/2 of the league teams and not make the playoffs. Boston is going to win the Wildcard.

Wow, I expected a few bad posts, but come on guys. This young team is 1 game out of first place in September, we just played the longest road trip ever and we are in the same position we were at when we started the road trip! 1 game back. Wishing players to fall and break arms, and bashing one of the best closers, and managers in the game, thats bad! Nathan has blown 3 saves in 4 games. Give us a reason not to bash the best closer in baseball?

I don't get it. Breslow comes in, strikes out 1 guy, then Crain comes up and gives up a run. Reyes gets his guy out and immediately gets pulled for Korecky who throws two more runs up on the board. I guess Gardenhire doesn't want to waste his decent pitchers when his team isn't in the mood to win.

They are only 1.5 games out of first with a bunch of new guys and a young pitching staff, yeah they have some veterans, but go back and look how everyone was posting that it could be a long year and they should be pretty good when that new stadium is done.
Well they are pretty good right now. These young guys have stepped up and are now a team that wasnt supposed to be where they are at. Sox are in 1st but should be when they are paying their players almost 60 million than the Twins and the kitties are 10 games behind and paying there players 76.5 million more than the Twins.
Both of those teams have a ton more experience and (supposed) to have a ton more talent than the Twins.
Cheer on the Twins for they are playing their hearts out and making it an interesting season. When they lose be dissapointed, but dont go calling out the best manager in baseball and throwing them under the bus when they screw up once and a while.
GO TWINS!!

GO TWINS!! Well said fish, this team was supposed to go nowhere, but here it is Sept. and they are in the heat of it. Enjoy the ride! Yes, it is still dissapointing when they loose, and VERY dissapointing when they loose like they have been lately. Even if they don't win another game this year I'm gonna remember how exciting it's been up to this point. They're still a young team with much future potential. I think that what they've done with who they have, Gardy should be Manager Of The Year. I'm still gonna be there rooting for them till the last game is over.
