The Minnesota Twins have the second-worst record in the Major Leagues, but owner Jim Pohlad isn't placing all the blame on Terry Ryan and Paul Molitor.

Pohlad called his team's 8-20 record a "total system failure" and issued public support for both his general manager and manager.

"Paul has our total support," he said. "I don't believe that that's the problem. I believe that somebody on this team has to step up as individuals and start winning some games for us. I don't mean the team. I mean individuals have to step up and win games. They do on other teams. We've got to do it for our team."
