Why do the Minnesota Twins keep loosing ?
They won almost every series in the beginning of the season but they are now in a slump (just got swept by a mediocre team, the Brewers). Why ? What are they missing in their line up ? In my opinion it is the "DH" spot . No Thome and not usually Kubel in the lineup.

It's just a slump. Every team goes through a few of those in the course of the season. And remember, before losing to the Brewers, they took 2 of 3 from the Phillies, who are a pretty good team.
I don't think the DH is the culprit here; Slowey, Baker, and Blackburn have been having weak starts. Francisco Liriano has pitched well, but he had the bad luck to run up against Ubaldo Jimenez last week.
I think the Twins will get their act together, but they'll need to replace Blackburn in the rotation. Brian Duensing might have some success there.

Almost all baseball teams go through slumps, take for example our buddies in the A.L. central: the Chicago White Sox.
Chicago was behind over 8 games at the beginning of the year, and are now only 2 games behind our Twins and are on a 10 game win streak.
EVERY team goes through high points and low points in the season, the Twins will definitely start winning once again. Even though they have been losing games recently, they have been keeping all of their hitter's averages above the .230 mark, which is great.

They are definitely in a slump, but there is plenty of baseball left and they are still on top of the divison. It's not just the dh spot, it's the whole lineup right now. joe mauer, michael cuddyer and denard span haven't been hitting the ball well lately and they need those guys to do well.

It's just a slump. Also the starters are under-performing. And, well, the offense really struggled to score runs.
It's a long season. It's not even the All-Star Break yet. No need to push the panic button yet.

Unfortunatly you will ought to attend till the leak reviels itself greater, so which you will discover it. i could look in direction of the heater center first. verify the passenger section floor to work out if its slightly damp The center is located onder the sprint at as quickly as above the passenger floor. the dearer restoration desires slightly greater time to envision, in case you have a small crack in the top gasket antifreeze can get into the combustion chamber and easily be burned away. without evidince, different than for the small volume of smoke on start up, to work out it ask somebody to initiate the motor vehicle first subject in the morning after no longer employing all nite. you will see it yet in ordinary terms for a 2d or 2, seek for liquid dripping out of tailpipe after that.

They've lost three straight games...the season is 162 games long...every team runs hot and cold. They could just as easily turn around and reel off ten consecutive wins.
