Rollin'

Just when we had reached our low point for the season, the Twins started winning. Not only have we won, but we have been beating two of the best teams in the American league. Oakland had won some ungodly amount of games in their last 20 coming into that series and Chicago had been winning all season. We had been losing in every way possible and were resorting to starting Abernathy in the outfield.

We came out of those series and continued on into tonight with a five game winning streak. Baseball is a crazy game. We are getting mentioned in the Wild Card chase again, although I doubt we will capture it there is hope once again.

The pitching has been stellar as it has all season but the bats have picked it up in recent games. Most notably Fatty Lecroy has picked up a lot of the team with his hitting .333 with an amazing 1.312 OPS in the last week.

I just wish we played Chicago more earlier in the season. We could have used that confidence booster a month ago!
