Twins break MLB record with 268 HR tonight.  Wooooo Woooo

Up by 5+ games, maybe the year

Definite possibility.  However, they do have 6 games with Cleveland yet (3 home, 3 road) so I am not quite ready to crown.  Keep hitting bombas and October will be here before we know it.

As many times as he makes us want to pull our hair out, last nigh was the reason I enjoy having Rosario in left field.  The gun down was incredible but even more so was the fact that he played the wall perfectly for someone who doesn't normally play in Fenway.

Next up, a HUGE weekend series with the Indians.  While it won't mathematically clinch the division, a series win or even better, sweep would pretty much lock it down for them.

Well, this is a real kick in the lower area:

Pineda Suspended 60 games

That really takes the wind out of the sails for the post season.  He had been pitching the best of all the starters as of late and would have been a major contributor to any chance at a post season run.

Sweep of a double header, both being bullpen games!  Up by 5 1/2 with a chance to sweep Cleveland tomorrow and the bottom feeders of the AL central for the rest of the regular season.  Time to punch the post season ticket? 

 

[Gopher State]

Let’s punch that ticket!!!!!!

Tonight’s the night punch the ticket

Twins sign Josh Donaldson. Too bad he can’t pitch.

Agreed,  but now the Twins have 6 players who hit 30 or more home runs last year, the Bomba squad is back

Hopefully the success will be there without the juiced ball.
