Victory is Sweet

The Twins have never spent the most money to become a good team (unlike the Evil Empire). Not even close. Yet year in and year out they play the right way and find themselves in the thick of the playoff race.

The game tonight was incredible. 2 straight hours of me being a nervous wreck.

2009 AL Central Champs. I could never have imagined this when I went to a game there in August.

(If you haven’t seen the highlights…go here, it’ll be worth your 2 minutes)

They now have a chance (albiet slim) to beat the team that resembles the very opposite way of how to get into the playoffs.

**Update** I just checked the payrolls of the Yankees and Twins for this year. Wow. Yankees=$202 million. Twins=$65 million. If you weren’t sure of who to root for, that should be enough to sway you.

Victory is sweet.

I still can’t believe they did all this without Morneau. That’s just ridiculous, but Kubel and Cuddyer have been studs.

I don’t like their chances against the Empire, but I’ll be delighted if they take that series.

Just somebody please beat the Angels. I’m irrationally in loathe with them. I’m sure it has nothing to do with them being AL West champs the last five or six years (actually five out of six).

Morneau going down for the year actually helped them and I thought it would. He was playing awful for over a month by playing through the injury so by getting rid of him they essentially got rid of a guy who couldn’t hit and added a player who could. If they only had Crede and Morneau healthy. That would be one scary team to face right now.
