Minnesota Twin's Joe Nathan & Jason Kubel Defeat Oakland Athletics

The Twinkies seem solid.  The 10 year life shelf of real Twinkies in the grocery store doesn’t work with our ball club.  They flash good and bad at anytime.  They might make on the shelf for about 2 days then implode.  Yet with 10 runs they are undefeated.  

The Minnesota twins are 8-0 when they score more than 10 runs.  I wish I could except that every night.  If the team hit like Joe Mauer and Justin Morneau I could expect it but unfortunately we have 7 other batters in the line up.  

Jason Kubel lifted his game in this road series.  The Athletics didn’t seem as dominate as he changed the game with his home-run in the 7th.  Alexi Casilla did his job by getting on base and scoring the winning run of the night.  

Twins you’ve shown back up to play baseball, thank you.  I am getting excited if we can string together 4 wins and dominate the Cubs.  

Joe Nathan has been nothing but spectacular as he picked up his 13th save of the season.  I can’t imagine what he could do on a team that gave tons of runs.  

The Twins need to win this last game.  It will give them confidence to deal with the Chicago Cubs who seem need game to cut their distance back in their division.  We are 4 games back and they are 2.5 games back.
