AKAK: "Hmmm- Well speaking of Defense... I guess the Twins are solid."
Not solid, my man: SPECTACULAR. They are (and I've said this before last night) the best defensive team I've ever seen, by far. You EXPECT them to make the Web Gem caliber play. Those are routine for them. You expect Hunter to catch any home run that's not way past the wall. You expect him to make the perfect throw (he's got a howitzer for an arm). Stewart is great in Left, Guzman is great at Short, etc.
The Twinkies run the best organization in baseball, by far. They constantly reload with great young talent, all of whom do things the right way. They're the biggest tradgedy of the economic climate in baseball: if they had any payroll flexibility, no other team would stand a chance. I can't say the same for a Kansas City Royals franchise that does everything the wrong way.
"I'd say the Yankees are must win in Game Two... Good luck Mr Leiber."
Yes, must win tonight. Radke has had some success against the Yanks, so this one's not a gimme. If we don't win, I fully expect a littany of Return of the Jedi pictures posted on this thread. I just hope tonight's game is as good as last night's.
