The Road To Sucess, a Minnesota Twins Dynasty

[ClutchJays19]

Hey guys.. Welcome to the start of my Twins Dynasty! I'm starting post 2011 Playoffs. As the Twins were 80-82. Two back for the division. But Twins fans are getting impatient. (Note: I'm playing MLB 11 on the PSP. So yeah.)

Most rules aren't changed (Injuries are on.) So let's begin in the Offseason!

Twins Fire Vavra, Bring In Clutch

The Minnesota Twins have decided enough is enough. They brought in a man, who only goes by "Clutch". He's looking to remodel the Twins into a winning team. After a mediocre season. Clutch will come in at a time where the Twins are hoping to come in to 2012 as a dangerous team.

The Twins toughest competition is either the White Sox or Tigers. The Tigers look roughly the same as last year. With very few or no changes whatsoever. The Sox, on the other hand. Have added Mat Latos, but otherwise also have the same team. Other then Brent Morel. Who the Twins signed form them in the offseason.

I was hoping to sign Jose Reyes, but the O's nabbed him away from me. Otherwise. I was thinking go big or go home. But I'm fine with how we did.

Delmon Young, I'm hoping doesn't suck. I'll monitor him to the deadline, then I may deal him somewhere.

Twins Make It Close, But Sox Pull Away Late, Take It 6-2

Minnesota Twins at Chicago White Sox
Apr 5, 2012	1	2	3	4	5	6	7	8	9	R	H	E
Minnesota (0-1)	0	0	0	0	0	2	0	0	0	2	6
Chicago (1-0)	0	1	0	1	1	0	0	8	x	6	11
W: Mat Latos (1-0) L: Francisco Liriano

The Twins come up short on Opening Day. A 6-2 loss is a setback for the club. Who had high expectations for 2012. But a resounding 3 dingers from the Sox. Including a late 3-Run shot ruled any comeback out in the 8th inning. A Morneau 2 run double cut the lead in half in the 6th. But the Twins failed to capitalize on the effort. Mike Pelfrey will take the hill next time taking on Gavin Floyd.
