The Twins were more than capable of losing anywhere, anytime between 2011-14, four seasons that ended with at least 92 losses.

But perhaps overlooked in that misery is just how awful the team was at Target Field. While most teams enjoy a home-field advantage no matter how bad they are, the Twins actually had a worse home record than road record over the past four seasons.

That's why it's particularly heartening — and unfamiliar — to look at the standings today. The Twins are 4-8 on the road, but 12-5 at Target Field, the best home mark of any American League team.

oh no The Cavaliers apologized for a video that made light of domestic violence and scuttled a promotion to give away arm slings in honor of Kevin Love.
