and that's the life of a minnesota sports fan
the twins. not only did they lose the first round. but they got swept. even with homefield advantage. but that is how it seems to go with minnesota teams. they put together an amazing season only to falter in the post season. and yet die hard minnesota fans still show up the next year to start the whole process over again. saying things like, "this will be the year."
but next year will be the year for the twins. barring any substantial injuries. their team is young and that inexperience showed in the playoffs. but now they will be older and wiser for it. we will have much of this years team chemistry back for next year. liriano should be healthier and stronger, giving us a deadly starting pitiching rotation, going santana, boof, liriano, garza and the 5th spot to be determined. could be perkins, gurrier, or one of our other farm grown pitchers. we have a solid defense that is young. and we should have the best hitting team in baseball once again. all we need to do is pick up one more power hitter, and hopefully extend hunter's contract. i would be fine with making him a twins lifer like puckett and radke.
anyways. here's to next year.
