Minnesota Twins Continue To Amaze Me

Maybe it's because we've had to endure four straight horrific seasons, or maybe it's because there are legitimate reasons to be pessimistic about this years team; but as Bill Parcels once said, "You are who the numbers say you are." And the numbers say the Twins (26-18) are in second place, two games out of first.

That's two games behind one of the best teams in baseball this year -- the Kansas City Royals. This is the same team that started the season 0-6, and was outscore 20-something to 1 during that stretch.

In Minnesota we've learned to protect our sports feelings by saying things like, "...it's still early in the season." While that's true, we are now more than a quarter of the way into things, and these guys keep winning.

Tonight it's game-two of a three game series at Target Field against the Boston Red Sox. The Twins beat them 7-2 yesterday. Tomorrow it's a Noon start in the final game of the series and I'll be there (forecast: Sunny & 82˚). Taking my mom to the game for her birthday.

It's been fun so far, but it's still early in the season. Get your tickets HERE.

Go Twins!
