POLL: How will the Twins do against the KC Royals?

With Joe Mauer coming back from the DL on Friday, the Twins have a great chance at gaining some ground on Divisional Rivals this weekend when they play the KC Royals.  The Twins will start off by facing the ever greasy Sidney Ponson (RHP).  The Twins have many lefty batters that will be in the lineup.  Can the Twins gain ground on the other teams ahead of them?

POLL: How will the Twins finish 2009?

The Minnesota Twins finished last year in Chicago missing the playoffs by a play-in game.  Many thought the Twins deserved the playoff spot instead of the Chi-Sox, but nothing can be done about it now.  The Twins have virtually the same roster plus the nice aquisition of Joe Crede at third base.  Justin Morneau, Joe Mauer, and Joe Nathan are only getting better, and a young staff of starting pitchers are starting to gain confidence.  Can the Twins do as well as they did last year; better?

What WAS the BEST Twins Game of 2008?

The Twins played the Chicago White Sox on 9-25-08 and had a rough going at the beginning of the game.  Kevin Slowey was pitching well, but got injured during the game and left leaving the Twins down 6-1.

Alexi Casilla lined to center to win the game with a walk-off single in the tenth!

 In my opinion, by far the best game of 2008!

How do you get these games???

The Twins played at home on Sept. 25th 2008 against the White Sox in an amazing come from behind nail biter! Denard Span hit the game tying triple in the the eighth inning and Alexi Casilla won the game in extras. How can I attain a copy of this game on DVD???  I think this would be an amazing game to have on hard copy.  Please let me know if you have any idea.  Thanks
