Ok, this is just... there's no goddamned explanation to any of this.
To Dickfer below, I was not surprised to see the Twins nearly lose that 10 run lead and have to pitch Nathan. Remember the Oakland game? That's where the shit just absolutely broke for me... I haven't been the same since. They didn't even get that game to extras. Nathan didn't even sniff it. It was nothing but Grrrr and Crain and FAIL ALL OVER THE PLACE. And today's game? When Big Boy Rauch had to strikeout Royal Fats? Whatever. I have no CNS.
I will tell you this though: nearly throughout this entire season, I have proclaimed that the Twins do not deserve to win this division. The way they played against the garbage of the AL was not befitting a playoff team. Seriously, they would wet themselves against guys like Sowers and I think we even lost a game against Ponson this year too. Didn't Paul Byrd win against us too? Point being, when a team just can't score runs against horrible starters, then I don't like them, and I don't want to see them rewarded for their inconsistency.
But that's all changed now. I'm ready to rescind that. Because for the last 20 games, it's been nuts on the table for all to see. It's been "Hey, I know we haven't been playing the greatest this season, but see, I've got this 14 inch Hickory Farms 'neath my belt, andddddddddddd..." Guys like Span and Cuddyer don't give a fuck about A) you B) jail C) your sister. Actually, they do care about C, because it ain't no fun if the homies can't have none.
You see what is happening around here? There is no logical explanation to any of this... besides Joe leading the league in hitting, all of it is an aberration. Seriously, does anyone see Cuddy as a 45 homer guy? Well, if he played at this pace, he would be. How is that possible? He likes to foul out more than Denny Hocking. All of a sudden he's fucking Jackson.
Whatever. Let's just go into the Metrodome on Wednesday afternoon with our pants down. Because someone needs a kiss, and it ain't Mr. Lips.
I will say this in the way of honest analysis... the Detroit Tigers are absolutely fucking garbage, and as much as the Twins didn't deserve to win the title for the first 5.5 months of the season, it's TEN FOLD that amount how much Detroit deserves to lose it now. Because all they had to do was beat the fuck White Sox who DON'T ENJOY PLAYING BASEBALL ANYMORE. And if you can't do that, then you don't deserve a goddamned thing. Their problems are many, but I think the main one is that they can't score any runs unless they are gifted, and they have more fat players than non-fat. There, solved.
So, let's go. Or something. I really couldn't give a shit at this point. It is what it is, and we hold no dominion over any of it.

I want to bet this game. I don't know how. Either starter could get knocked out in the 3rd inning. Hell, who knows. What if Baker throws a gem?
