Peeved.

Still no lineups for the Twins. Weird, it is.

Today opens an important late season series for the Twins. And, this series also bring out the magic of the baseball season. For instance, the following: Of course, there is also another kind of magic But the true magic lies in a number, specifically, the magic number: http://twinsdaily.com/topic/34786-magic-number-thread/?do=findComment&comment=910891 *See above thread for the countdown. Of course, transportation to Twins games is important: I admit, at one point, maybe many points, I had a bit of this going on: Because I thought perhaps things weren't going quite as they looked. But, here we are, the Central title there for the Twins to grab. And, all they have to do is get through Cleveland. Yeah, all the Twins have to do...and as we're well aware, Cleveland isn't going quietly into the night. It's going to be another barn-burner of a series and let the best team, (best team defined as "The Twins") win! With that, here are some things to think about: 1. Brad Hand...close game, Brad is probably good for at least one win, for the Twins. 2. Duffey dominated the Red Sox? How cool is that? 3. The defense behind Twins pitching the last game at Fenway was fun to watch. 4. Is "Rally Squirrel" actually a thing? Lineups: *Twins don't have their lineup up yet. Sort of odd. 5. Play ball!

Not sure this counts:

And with that, we got game threadtm material for the next couple of weeks.

Funny thing, I covered this very subject in a game thread a couple of years ago: http://twinsdaily.com/topic/25441-game-thread-twins-vs-royals-45-1210-cdt/

Your post, it almost seems, dare a I say, irrational?

As long as it's close going into the late innings, Brad Hand is good for at least one win...for the Twins.

Me, watching the end of the game last night:

I just checked, I don't think so....

Hard to believe the heroes of the game are: Perez, Cave, Rosario and Astudillo.

Late innings both Cave and Rosario came through. Perfect examples of how championships are won.

Nothing?

Bert and an ATBNL (announcer to be named later)

Well, after, maybe. I was thinking it was more of an "Oh" face.

I wonder what the expression on Devers face was when he realized he was about to get tagged out?

I would assume this went exactly as Baldelli expected. 2 out of 3 in Boston. Take that any day of the week and Sunday too.

the cool thing? Really couldn't challenge because Devers was no where near the plate.

Nothing like Duffey dominating both Detroit and Boston.

Playoff baseball in September. Woot!

Right now, I only care about the Twins making the playoffs. Once the Twins make the playoffs, everything else will take care of itself.
