Around SBN: Nevin Shapiro Vows To Bring Down Miami

Twins 2006 - Central Division Champions

Sureal.

I know the word will probably get thrown around a bit, but how else do you describe a journey such as this? The first time the Twins were in first, they packed their bags to head north from Fort Meyers. People who packed their bags included Tony Batista, Juan Castro and Kyle Lohse. The stay in first was short. Chicago won their first game, and before the Twins even played, they would be resigned to looking up in the standings for a long time.

Not much went well those first 50 or so games. I can't say for certain, but it seems Dr. Leo Marvin wrote the front office this prescription: "Take a vacation from your problems." They packed Batista's bags for him. (To the extra cook hired to help prepare the clubhouse buffet, don't be mad at TR - they had to let Batista go. I know it is your lively hood, but when he left, they didn't need you any more. It wasn't anything personal.) Next Castro's (Wayne you are a saint). But there was still a nagging pain in the back of TR's head. Bye-bye Kyle (Thanks again Wayne). Much better.

Now the Twins just finished packing again. This time for New York, right? Hey at least we're packing guys. New York, is less than ideal for a vacation. At least we're going. Wait what's that? We're in first again? Hmm...odd. We could go to the Bay area? What's that? We're going to spend a couple days in Alemeda? Nice.

One day. Say that again. ONE DAY. That is the number of days that ended with the Twins in sole possession of first place in the Central. Way to pick the one day though guys.

I just hope someone leaves enough space in their luggage for the WS trophy. Maybe ask LNP, he's short, I bet his clothes take up less room.


GO TWINS!

well I gues this beats the worst to first story.  The question though is which World Series will have the better story?

The Truth is Stranger than Fiction
What an improbable season!  You couldn't write this script and send it to Disney because they would say it was too unbelievable.  With movies like:

Angels in the Outfield (both movies 1951 & 1994)
The Natural
Field of Dreams
Little Big League
Rookie of the Year

Who would believe that a team could stink so bad, be so far behind, have so many injuries to key players and have to climb over Cleveland, Chicago and Detroit?

Nobody!

But look, the Twins win their last game with Carlos Silva on the mound.  Oh, look, Kansas City just swept Detroit!  

THE TWINS WIN THE DIVISION!

Oh my!  What's next?

All I can say is, Bring it On!
