It's almost difficult to completely place where the problem with the Twins is. Obviously, they're not scoring runs. Defensively, they're still playing amazing baseball and making great plays (case in point: despite losing last night, they still were credited with two Web Gems - Dustan Mohr's sliding foul pop catch and Christian Guzman's throw after the ball ricochéd off Koskie's glove - by Baseball Tonight). Despite a little early shakiness and giving up the two home runs, Lohse had one of his best outings of the season last night. They knocked a few balls around the yard. Hell, Sleepy Pete even won the fishing tournament last night! It's been frustrating as of late because all the pieces are there, they're just not coming together properly.

This season the Twins are a combined 2-13 against Boston, Baltimore, and the Yankees coming into the home series with Boston this weekend. Why does the AL East own the Twins? Remember last season when the Devil Rays swept the Twins?! It's insane. Actually, one of the hardest statistics for me to take in is that in Minnesota's last 54 games against Baltimore, the Twins have lost 42 and only won 12! Forget Carl Pohlad - Now that, my friends, is ownership.
