Today is a special day. Not only do our Twins host the Royals on their push for a post season berth, but today is the first day of Oktoberfest. Now you may note that it's not yet October. There is an important distinction. Oktoberfest is the harvest festival held in Munich Germany. It's the largest beer festival in the world. On the east side of the Saint Croix River, we have a great German Heritage. Fantastic German restaurants, festivals, and of course, a hearty few of us Twins Fans! So next time you feel that urge to tease me about my great state, just remember, Wisconsin is as close to a German experience as you can get to from Minnesota without catching as flight, and Germany is pretty freakin' awesome too! Almost as good as Wisconsin! Lineups: Arraez - 2B Polanco - SS Cruz - DH Rosario - LF Sano - 3B Gonzalez - 1B Cave - RF Castro - C Wade - CF Berrios Merrifield - 2B Mondesi - SS Soler - DH Dozier - 3B Gordon - LF McBrom - RF Ohearn - 1B Viloria - C Phillips - CF Sparkman Go Twins!
