I'm proud of my Twins this year, they've been amazing...if they get their pitching rotation back intact, look out!

Halos finally win one against Chicago in Anaheim.Halo pitchers are so very game.Really is sad that the offense struggles so much.They are really gunna have to get some hitting in the off season to get anywhere.Halo starting pitchers have been very strong in September.Not supported much at all.

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.

I think that playing in that trash bag dome is a pretty good advantage.I mean the organization has won a couple championships from that place already.Neither of those teams was considered the best team of their year.Nice 3rd baseman, btw.I said a couple weeks ago that Oakland or the A's are gunna win it all.The A's like to play with that same intimidating way that you guys do(the "we will come right back on you like mad roaches" swagger.) They didn't seem to like you guys doing what they usually do to others.As long as that Contreras is pitching well for the Chisox,I can't rule them out.What's with the huge gallon of Milk in that dome?

Wow,love these ticket prices for Twinks games.$41 FOR RIGHT BEHIND THE PLATE.HARD TO BEAT THAT.

2007 Cheap Seats Special ($250 FOR ALL 81 GAMES.)That's $3 a game.Damn.Most places don't even allow you to buy cheap seats on a season ticket.

Liriano looks tremendous thru 2.

Yeah, been a fan since the 1950's....grew up rooting for the franchise (my dad was a fan too!)...after years of bottom-dweling, they build a team and what does the damn owner do? The old days...Jim Lemon, Bobby Allison, Harmon Killebrew, Pedro Ramos, Camillo Pasqual, Rocky Bridges, Earl Battey...fun times!
