Twins need some wins, and quick

It's only the middle of May but it's also desperation time for the Minnesota Twins. They find themselves 11 games behind Cleveland and at 12-23 have one of the worst records in baseball.

Let's forget all the injuries for a second. Wednesday it was the bullpen which squandered leads.

The Twins need to turn it around and real quick. This weekend against Toronto would be a good way to start.  Next week, after all, there's a road trip to Seattle, Oakland and Arizona and what are the odds of coming back home with a winning record after that?

Yes, it's still early in the season but on the other hand, it's also getting late.
