Must see TV for the next 3 nights, I love it. I might make a road trip to the dome for a game or 2 wednesday and thursday since my boss is going to be gone at work and this series is important. Reminds me of the last week of 2005, thats a good thing.

No matter what, complete credit to the twins for completely over achieving what everyone thought would be a bad season.

Like John Kruck said, they should just retire the AL Manager of the Year Award and give it to Ron every year.

You forgot the word "to" in your member title.

Likewise with the Sox. When Kenny Williams said this spring that Detroit's acquisition of Cabrera only strengthened Detroit's chances to compete with the White Sox, it seemed ludicrous.

The Sox and Twins emerged with the best pitching in the division, and here we are.

Agreed, i fear the Twins every year, but not this year without Hunter and Santana, silly me.

He's not gonna get close with Joe Maddon and those mutant fish in Tampa.

No kidding. I think Gardenhire deserves it almost every year, but almost every year there is some other media darling story that the press latches onto and votes for.

You mean one-nut Kruk right??

Twins are gonna take 2 of 3 from White Sox, then Indians are gonna sweep the Sox(Just like they did to the Twins and Tigers).. That's what I just saw in my crystal ball..

I agree, there is no way Maddon DOESN'T win it.. He has done a spectacular job.

The frustrating part for Twins fans has to be that the Sox have sucked pretty bad too as of late.

THE most frustrating part about living in Central Iowa is that I never get any Twins or Wild coverage.....

Welch Ave Station, Es Tas. I'm pretty sure Okoboji and Wallabys have fox sports north also.

The Twins always seem to find a way to win big games during the regular season it seems like. I look for them to win at least 2 of 3 in the series against the White Sox and look for a big series from Gomez, Span, Mauer, Morneau, and possibly Punto. Gomez, Span, and Punto seem to give the Sox trouble all the time. Hopefully the young pitching steps up big and provides some solid innings. Either way it will be a great series and I think the Twins have a solid chance at getting a sweep. GO TWINS!!!

Ozzie:

Just in case the players do flinch at the sight of the dome, Guillen offered a small warning -- as only Guillen can.

''If they worry about how we get there and how we're going to play there, then we should go straight to Cleveland and don't play there,'' Guillen said. ''We have to play good there. That's my job. If I have to be on their ***, I will be on their ***. I'm not scared. We've been through it. We win the world championship with a lot of guys out there, and they shouldn't be scared.

''We got to beat the [bleep] out of them and have the last laugh.''

Also, if it's the eighth inning and Morneau comes up in a big spot, we HAVE to go to Jenks or Thornton. No one else.
