Michael Rand started RandBall with hopes that he could keep lies from conquering the minds of the weak. So far, he's only succeeded in using the word "redacted" a lot. He welcomes suggestions, news tips, links of pure genius, and pictures of pets in Halloween costumes here, though he already knows he will regret that last part.

Mid-day talker: The 2011 Twins schedule
Posted by: Michael Rand under Twins fans Updated: September 15, 2010 - 12:01 PM
*15 of the first 20 games are on the road, including four big ones in the first week at Yankee Stadium.
*Mark it: June 21-23. Twins at San Francisco. If you've never been to the ballpark there, it is fabulous. Best in baseball. Make this a priority.
*The Twins have eight home weekend series in June, July and August combined in 2011. In 2010, they only had six -- part of what we thought was kind of a weak first-year home schedule. Eight is much better for those prime months.
*Their last series of the season with the White Sox is a three-game home set from Sept. 5-7. That's kind of early, but it will have to do for the traditional nail in the coffin.
*Nine of the final 12 games are at home, and the final 14 games overall are against Kansas City, Cleveland or Seattle.
