You know him, you love him, you keep requesting him… “The
Closer” Brad Carlson from 1280am The Patriot is back on the show.
If you’ve listened for Brad you know his political acumen, but he
has even greater knowledge of baseball, so today we talk some
Twins.
We’ve talked about ‘87 and ‘91, but we’ve never talked about the
lost years (‘93-2000). These were rough years for us Twins fans,
but it’s worth discussing.
Now remember, the Twins won the World Series in ‘91 and almost won
the division in ‘92, save for a 10 game slide at the end of the
season… but that’s when the bottom fell out of the
organization.
They started out still having players like Kirby Puckett, Kent
Hrbeck, Chuck Knoblauch, David Winfield, Scott Erickson, and Kevin
Tapani, but things didn’t go the way fans expected. These years had
a strike, restructuring of the divisions, and some horrendous
trades. They came close a few times, but just couldn’t get out of
their own way. Let’s talk some baseball!
