Did the twins ever jot lead the division? They must have, but I can’t remember.
It may have only been a half game.I was thinking Cleveland led one game once and then immediately lost it again, but I could be wrong.
Noon game today after winning the division last night. Is everybody looking forward to seeing Ian Miller, Ryan LaMarre, and Ronald Torreyes in the lineup today?
I did some research and tried to answer my own question, sounds like they are really optimistic that he will be back at some point to get some AB's in KC. He's worked out and done some BP recently with no issues. He still has a week to get completely up to speed but I think some action in KC would go a long ways instead of being thrown right into the fire in the Bronx.Does anyone know if they said when Max will be back? We absolutely need that guy at full strength for New York

You may end up being close. They're up 9-4.That looks like a 10-2 victory to complete the sweep.

The Yankees...Why did it have to be the Yankees? If I was better at the internet I would insert that into this picture. Yes, I realize it could be the Astros but let’s be real, it’s going to be the Yankees.

Give me the Yankees all day. I'll pass on facing Verlander and Cole. Astros are the better team, better home team, and are the hotter team right now.
Twins road record and run diff. is very similar to the Yanks at home. Should be a good matchup.
I'm torn. I'd love nothing more than to knock the Yankees out and get that monkey off our backs, but I wouldn't be upset seeing someone else possibly take them out before we face them either.
The Twins road record is pretty unbelievable. They have 7 more road wins than Detroit has total wins.
One troubling stat for me going into either match-up:
Records versus teams that are > .500
Yankees : 43-32 .573
Astros : 35-28 .555
Twins : 32-37 .463
I realize playing in the Central limits our opportunities for familiarity with good teams, but they have better records against better teams for a reason.
Oh well, stats don't play games. Throw 'em all out and beat whoever we face.
