 The Twins have not won a playoff series since the 2002 series against the Athletics, this despite the team winning several division championships in the decade.In 2006, the Twins won the division on the last day of the regular season (the only day all season they held sole possession of first place) but lost to the Oakland Athletics in the ALDS.Ozzie Guillén coined a nickname for this squad, calling the Twins "little piranhas".
