Sunday night was the first Twins spring training game, in which they beat the Red Sox 8-4. Monday, therefore, was sort of my first Twinkie Town column of the year – so, since the game wasn’t on TV, I made up some game notes to go along with the box score.

It’s going to be hard to keep me from doing this all year, especially for those Mondays the Twins play the Royals, and I have to try to find some way to spin “the Royals are terrible” for the game recap.
