Minnesota Twins 2011 Season Thread

[RabbitObsessed]

Jacks 02 is right. New thread is needed. I've started the last two and that has led to two straight division titles. This is, obviously, where someone brings up the difference between causation and correlation, to which I say: suck it, I'm the reason they won

I'll predict 87 wins and a close race with the White Sox to the end, which the Twins will win.

Lose in the first round of the playoffs.

Book it.

Nice prediction......I think I pretty much agree, give or take a few wins

Got my tickets in the mail yesterday. I was fortunate enough to not be one of the people with problems with the Twins site when ordering last weekend.

Question marks:
Who's going to be effective between the starter and closer(s), especially a lefty?
How's Nishioka going to fare?
Health, mainly Morneau and keeping the very thin infield healthy

Book it:
Mauer = MVP candidate
Outfield is deep, good enough defensively and very good at the plate
Pavano's mustache is sweet
Twins drive Ozzie crazy

No division title would be disappointing. This team's good enough again to go back to back to back. Now for the next step. Advancing.

This is the biggest thing. I'm going to be disappointed if the Twins don't win the division, I'm going to be straight up pissed if they do win it and get swept in the first round again. I'll take a 5 game series and a loss over getting swept right now.

Avoid the Yankees in the first round!

It wouldn't surprise me if they don't win the division. This team just doesn't seem as good as last year's.

Yeah if they win and then get swept first round, I will be so pissed off.

I've heard that before. Keep in mind the GM.

I don't think they are as good a team as last year, but I do think they have the capability to win. I guess we'll just have to wait and see. Won't surprise me if they don't, but it won't surprise me as much if they do either.

Well boys and girls, today is the day where dreams start again (I know it actually started yesterday but today is the real opening day for me). Heck even the Pirates are in first place.

So kick back, grab your favorite adult beverage (I prefer Grain Belt on a day like today -- a Minnesota beer to watch the Twins) and enjoy some baseball.

Play ball! and go Twins!
