This is purely unscientific. We have not read other coverage yet. We don’t have any sources except for the voices in our head. If Michael Cuddyer had jarred that ball loose (and really, you can see by that picture he wasn’t too far off), we’d be talking about Game 1. Instead, here are some thoughts [...]

While there were plenty of big plays to go around in last night's AL Central playoff game, the one most people want to talk about today is the play at the plate in the 5th inning. After Michael Cuddyer doubled to start the inning -- it was Minnesota's first hit of the evening -- he moved to third on a fly ball to centerfield. Apparently this was enough to convince Cuddyer that he could beat Ken

Big thanks to Jim Thome ’s old school bat and Ken Griffey Jr. ’s older school cannon for making the Chicago White Sox the 2008 AL Central winner. Lefty John Danks tossed eight impressive innings of two-hit ball on minimal rest, seeing Junior nail Michael Cuddyer at home and Thome smoke one in the seventh to help the South Siders beat the division rival Minnesota Twins 1-0 in their nail-biting, tie-breaking...

It was irony defined, wasn’t it? Alexi Casilla singled to center last week to complete the Twins’ sweep of the White Sox to move into first place and then finds himself retired for the final out to end Minnesota’s magical season of 2008. Michael Cuddyer should have plate the go-ahead run in the 5th but Brendan [...]

Let’s get this out of the way now, and I swear on all three of my balls that I’m not just saying this to be a dick or whatever — that throw from Ken Griffey to get Michael Cuddyer was perhaps one of the seven worst throws in major-league history, with Johnny Damon holding the [...]

The Twins wouldn't still be in the Central Division race if it weren't for Jason Kubel. With Michael Cuddyer missing most of the season due to various injuries, it was Kubel that stepped up and became the Twins invaluable...

Ladies and gentlemen, last night’s game in Cleveland perfectly encapsulated the past month for the Minnesota Twins. Might have. Should have. Almost. The Twins plated a run in the first on an RBI single from Michael Cuddyer to hand a lead to “The Franchise”, who’d had the best ERA in baseball since his return from the minors [...]

When Michael Cuddyer suffered a fractured foot after being hit with a line drive during a rehab stint in the minors in early August, it seemed time to chalk 2008 up as a lost season for the right fielder. The best-case scenario had Cuddyer returning with just a few weeks left of the season, and with no minor-league seasons still going on, he wouldn't be able to get back up to speed at a lower level...
