What a season!

Unbelievable! You wanna talk about a photo finish, THAT was amazing. After struggling for the first 2 months, the Twins, down at one point 12 1/2 games, come back not just to match the Tigers, but to overtake them and win the American League Central. All year, I dreamed about them doing it. I hoped that they could pull it off, but all with a healthy skepticism that thought that realistically, there's no way they can actually pull it off.

They proved me wrong.

And a BIG thank you to the Kansas City Royals, who got hot at just the right time (after playing the Twins!)

Hunter hit his 31st home run, but fell just short of 100 RBI with 98.
Morneau became the first Twin to hit 30 homers in 19 years.
Mauer won the batting title!

Now the Twins get to play Oakland, more importantly... at HOME. The Twins went 5-1 against them at home this season, and 6-4 overall. The Tigers get the Yankees, and boy will I be cheering for the Tigers this week!

This has undoubtedly been the best regular season ever for the Twins. At least for the fans. It started out horrible, but the last 4 months cannot be beat. A stretch of games going 19-1. Coming back in July to tie the Sox. Taking the Wild Card lead by the end of August, and catching up with the Tigers, and never having the division lead by themselves until October. How do you follow that up?

With a World Championship?

GO TWINS!!!
