If you missed the just-concluded "play-in" playoff game between the Tigers and Twins, then you missed perhaps the best game of the year! A back and forth, see-saw battle all night, the Twins prevailed 6-5 in 12 innings to win the A.L. Central, and will travel to New York to take on the Yankees in the ALDS starting tomorrow night.
Wow! That's about all I can say about this game, just wow!
That's a very good, resilient team they have over there in Minnesota. And I might add, I've always like Ron Gardenhire as a person, as a great baseball guy, and as a manager in particular. A job well done, no doubt.
On paper, it looks like a landslide for the Yankees against the Twins, but don't count them out. They've got the league MVP (in my opinion) in Joe Mauer, two "gamers" in Orlando Cabrera and Michael Cuddyer (one of my favorite players), a very good power hitter in Jason Kubel, and one the game's best closers in Joe Nathan.
Should be a fun series to watch.
