Big surprise Twins lose to the Red Sox

So the Minnesota Twins lost to the Boston Red Sox today, Sunday May 6.

The challenge in this story is trying to not be biased about the Minnesota Twins. Which this article fails on. It doesn't explicitly say "lets go Twins" but much of the article is focused on the detractors the Twins are facing right now. Who the injured players are, how the game went, and what the Twins need to do to find success again.

This article which is much less biased, but uses so much jargon its almost unreadable is at least more biased.

There are nicknames everywhere, like Coco Crisp, I think that is Manny Ramirez, but I'm not sure. YOu have to know baseball to read this type of stuff.

If I was a Minnesota fan I would read the Star Tribune article, if I just loved baseball I would read the second article.
But its hard to get excited about a single game in baseball when there are like 160 games over the course of the season.
