I'm gunna get premature on today's game and assume we win:

Magic numbah!

It's been 32 years since one of MN's four major sports teams has been to the Championship/Superbowl.
Every single year is failure until we win one. 4 teams, 32 years. That's roughly 128 consecutive failed seasons.

This team needed these past few series in the worst possible way. Even though it's just been the sox and the tigers...9-1 in our last 10.

the defense has tightened up the last week or so. I think that has been a big help for the wins piling up!

Doesnt hurt that Cleveland finally came back to earth. Cleveland is on life support.

They have a chance to make it interesting if they get hot but this collapse(6.5 game lead as of 9/4) would be far worse than a 11.5 game collapse.

They now need to sweep us and then some. Like I said in the how many lead thread on Sept 1. No way we keep blowing leads and no way in hell they keep playing at the same clip since June 1. Both those things were flukes leading to the tie. Now our pen is set and not blowing leads and math has caught up to them.

Funny that the usual negative minded clowns have not been seen in this thread or in general lately with how well the Twins have played.

I ran into Herbie at Canterbury last Summer during a buddy's bachelor party. He told my buddy that he's making a 'big fking mistake', then bought him a drink. That was my 3rd run in with him over the years. Seems like a good dude.
