The Twins are in the midst of a five game winning streak, a number commonly referred to as “half a dozen” by Bert Blyleven.   Today’s game will see beautiful western Florida weather at 86 degrees game

And wow, 6 in a row on the road?!?  We haven't done that since we were good.  It's even nicer to do it against the very teams we're contending with for the WC.

Hunter: Old Yeller

 

He might be remembered more because he propelled the Twins to a third World Series win, or hindered the growth of young Twins outfielders.  But who didn't cry when Old Yeller got shot?

As I said many times, Escobar is clutch and streaky. He has some good power and he is a solid fielder. When he's hot, he could carry the team on his shoulder. I want him to start in spring training. I always think he is a better player than Santana. Better glove and much more power. He is emotional and clutch. He is still young.

Great to see that the Angels lost to Detroit earlier and that Toronto has a 10-2 lead over Texas in the 5th. If Texas loses too, we are in the 2nd WC spot! Go back 2 weeks ago, and who'd a thunk?

I'd like to see his stats if he played SS full time. I could see him knocking 12 to 15 hrs a year to go along with 25 to 30 dbls, 50-60 rbi, and to avg .260ish. Although who knows what his defensive stats would reveal?

Sano, Buxton, Hicks, Rosario, Escobar, Kepler, Dozier and Vargas along with a good hitting catcher would make a scary lineup. Good hitting, good power and good fielding.

Avalanche? Considering the attendance, I'd say trickle.

That's why I went with the "dozens" thing, because the stadium seats fifty bajillion and...  Oh, crap.  If you have to explain it....    My bad.
