How sweep it is.

It's time to make some hay, it's nut-cutting time, it's do or die right now. Pick your cliche, all of them fit -- the Twins needed to come out of the all-star break hot and they did it by going 4-0 against the A's.

Now just 6 games back in the central and 5.5 back in the wild card, the Twins have a legitimate shot at making a playoff push. They need to find a hitter soon -- Ty Wigginton is still available -- but even without another bat, they can still make a run. The Tigers and the Angels are up next. Taking 2 of 3 from each of those teams would make a 8-2 home stand, not too shabby.
