Somer,
Your Twins? Didn't know you were a fan... nice to know I'm not alone.
Scuds,
It's crazy the way the Twins in the 7th and 8th inning all year just overpower teams. Joe Nathan might be the best closer in baseball, but he doesn't have a lot of saves because of their late inning productivity. He didn't have a lot early, because they sucked so bad. But when they started this run in late June/early July, he's missed out on save oppourtunities because the game will be close late, and then the Twins will blow it open. So late in games they have been absolutely $$$$...
And the best part yet- LIRIANO IS BACK TOMORROW!!!!!!
The Twins have been decent for about 5 or 6 years now, but this has been the most fun team they have put together since 1991 by far. It's just realy fun to watch. Usually by this time everyone is paying attention to football, and we'll pay attaention to the Twins in October if they make it. This year is different. People (partly because of the close division and wild-card races) are still really focused on baseball. Witht the exception of MNF around here, all eyes are on the Twins right now.
