Detroit turned out to be a tough and kinda ugly series. The Twins managed to pull out 3 of 4 and looked good and bad. The last game of the series was a sloppy crazy mess. The best thing about it was how they played the next night in the series opener with Texas. I was worried the late night and plain craziness of the game would affect them. But the beauty of this team is they keep plugging along, show up for the next game and start over. They don't get down and they don't get too high. Its a long season and making it through requires an even keeled team.
Losing Kubel for a few games sucks as well as Danny pulling up last night. But just as they have all year someone steps up. Matt Fox pitched a great game last night, not a hard thrower but made that ball move. Span seemed to wake up a bit last night making a great catch and getting some hits. Mauer catching that 13 inning game and then showing up behind the plate Friday is impressive.
This team perseveres! All the ups and downs we have stayed relatively consistent. Lost our closer, our MVP first basemen, erratic starting pitching and a rotating injury bug in the heart of the infield...yet we keep filling the holes and winning.
GO TWINS!!
