Interview Questions/Answers:
Kyle:
1- Why do you think the Twins have been off to a slow start this year?
-One factor is that we always start the year bad, but Gardy always finds a way to mix up the lineups. We're just in a slump, that we'll be able to get out of within the next few weeks.
2- Do you see the Twins making a come back in the near future? What can turn the season around?
-Yeah, they just have to get their bats going again. Also, their starting pitching needs to pick it up.
3- What's your favorite food at the new Target Field?
-I like chicken fingers and fries.

Garrett:
1- What are your expectations for the Twins this season? Are they as high as they were at the beginning of the season?
-They will win the division, and hopefully make it to the World Series (and win). If they don't, I will be pissed and chop off part of my body. But yes, they are still high expectations.
2- What are the good signs you've seen thus far in the year? Players who have lived up to their expectations?
-Danny Valencia and Jim Thome have come up clutch this year, and will continue to produce runs.
3- Do you still have faith in the Twins making the playoffs? Why or why not?
-YES, because they're the best team, dude. They're 'bout to kill it.
