Well lets see. The Twins have lost 11 of their last 13 games. On the recent 6 game road trip they were 1-5 and very lucky not to be 0-6. In the 6 games they had a total of 22 hits and 8 runs (3 runs were gifts). That's 3.6 hits per game and 1.3 runs. Not going to win many games at that pace. So the Twins are now 7-20 on the season for a winning percentage of .259. At this rate we should win 42 games and lose 120. I believe that would be a new MLB record for losses in a season.
Gee, I think my vote is for the Twins. The Royals look mighty fine in comparison.

I would say that the Twins are in more trouble than the Royals.
The Royals should get better as the year goes along with all the young players. But we will see when the season is over.

Zeb while it would seem that the Twins future prospects are not as bright as the Royals, I would say our misery is far more rooted than yours. Although the Twins have not been won the World series in a long time, it has been nearly that long since the Royals have won a division title. In the last dozen years the Twins have won the central division six times I believe, while the Royals have never won the central division. In fact it has been twenty-seven years since the Royals have been to the playoffs. That is a long time for a team that was there fighting the dirty Yankees every year in the mid-seventies and early eighties. We made the series in eighty and eighty-five, then we have never been to the post season again. When kaufmann let john shuerholz go to the braves, it started their dynasty and ended ours. I think maybe we have something in his understudy dayton moore, but time will tell. I have two sons that play, and they are barely interested in Royals baseball. We can give all the lip service we want, but it gets hard rooting for a loser. Hey OP, where can I buy an Alabama flag

We'll as the ole saying goes "Even a blind squirrel finds an acorn now and then".
The Twins found a way to win one (shut out) with their "Diamond" in the rough so to speak. Twins called up Scott Diamond from their Rochester minor league team and he put on a show. Now... will it will rub off on some of the other thugs or so called starters they have.

I doubt that.
The Twins have become desperate. They sent a couple players down to minors and brought up a couple. They got shelled again last night, this time against the Blue Jays. Gardy is getting desperate and at this point is just throwing things up against the wall to see what sticks.

I agree that the Twins have hit the desperate stage. We are currently fielding a bunch of guys that couldn't win consistently if they were playing AAA ball. Maybe even AA ball.
At some time the coaches and management have to be the ones that accept responsibility for fielding such an inept team. I'm starting to think it's time to dump the M & M boys and start over from scratch. This has to be the most pathetic Twins team in history. 100+ losses is a "shoe-in" and I'm thinking 120 losses is a real possibility.
