You're getting your wish for a meaningful game tomorrow, Dawn. Win means no clinch today.

Yeah, ain't it great?!

Won the division a year ago. Spent money to bring in the best players possible for a handful of years now. Didn't try to do it on the cheap and let top players walk while not winning anything in the mean time.

Won a division and did what with it? Nothing. Exactly what you expect the Twins to do. How is that fair? If it's not good enough for the Twins to win their division but lose in the first round, why is it okay for the Vikings (who spend waaay more money) to do the same?

Jim Caple has a few cool videos on ESPN.com:

This is a summary of the Dome with Gardy, Torii, and a few others:

This is one of him walking on the roof of the Dome (couldn't pay me enough to do that, BTW):

Things are going great for the Twins right now. Delman Young is starting to come alive when we need him the most, and Cuddyer is continuing to make big plays at the plate.

Tomorrow's games are huge. Hopefully we finish the sweep of the Royals and the Sox do the same to the Tigers, then a tie-breaker on Tuesday won't even be necessary.

I'm going to the MNF game, so i'll still be in town on Tuesday and if there is indeed a tie-breaker I'm going to see if I can get tickets!
Anyone have an idea how that will be handled? Will they immediately go on sale tomorrow after both games f both teams are still tied?

Looks like only season ticket holders can buy them right now, until 7am tomorrow.

Well, well, well...


Scott Baker in the most important game of his career. Let's tame them Tigers. Hell, let's kill them Tigers...

Actually, tickets went on sale at the box office at the Dome immediately after the game. You shoulda seen the lines!

Get out the Homer Hankies!

They gave out Homer Hankies at the gates on Sunday. Apparently, the Strib found about 80k of them in boxes in a warehouse. So, the Dome was filled with hanky waving, screaming Twins fans!

So far, the ump has a different strike zone for the Twins and Tigers. The Twins get behind in the count with the same pitch location that gets Tigers hitters ahead. Not always, but enough.

Oh well, let us hope to get this pitcher rattled a bit with the big bats.
