Up 3!!

Gotta love the Tigers playing well in Chicago!

Twins looked great today. Slowey pitched great and had some very good defense behind him. Would have been great to have him keep pitching but totally understand pulling him because of the previous elbow soreness. Though maybe if those insurance runs were up before they decided maybe he would have chanced it.

The bench players keep stepping up. Whether its Repko covering anywhere in the outfield and getting timely hits or Alexi covering second then short. Cuddyer playing anywhere they need. Butera helping rest Joe! Valencia tightening up his D and swinging a great bat. All of the guys who have come up to help this year have done their jobs and more. Could you ever have imagined being with out Morneau and winning 22 of 33 games. Seriously imagine how many more of those we would have won.

Last night Duensing was fabulous, threw like an old veteran. Lots of credit to Rick Anderson and a little to Pavano too. I really think Rick gets the most out of his pitchers. Pavano adds stability and leadership to the crew. Hopefully Perkins will shore up the bullpen.

This is going to be an exciting two months!!

GO TWINS!
