Of course we had faith!

Delmon Young is finally hitting. Michael Cuddyer isn’t terrible anymore. And Jason Kubel continues to prove us right. He is an incredible hitter who just needed at-bats (and he needed to stay healthy.) Sure, this could be a career year for Cuddy and Kubel – but if it gets the Twins in the playoffs, what more do you want?

Oh well…work happens on Tuesdays and the last I checked, they don’t like it if you skip work for a sporting event. So…yeah…we will watch it in glorious HDTV and be happy.

If you are one of those people telling us the Twins will get swept against the Yankees, we kind of agree with you. But anything can happen in the playoffs so let’s get there first. And yes, we realize by posting this we probably just jinxed the Twins and they won’t win on Tuesday. But we can’t help it, we are excited.
