Send us a text The Minnesota Twins travel across the border into Canada and come away with one game in a three-game series against the Toronto Blue Jays, one of the top teams in the American League.

Send us a text During a weekend series in Chicago, the Minnesota Twins made the White Sox look like a good baseball team, something that says a lot about the current state of both franchises.

Send us a text The Minnesota Twins went to Yankee Stadium and did something entirely expected in losing a series, two games to one.

Dan suggests that this behavior by the Poh...
