After splitting a double-header
with the Miami Marlins and their new manager “Red Dog” Redmond yesterday, your Minnesota
Twins sit at 9-8 as the 2013 season nears the end of its first month. And the
temperature finally hit 50 degrees in the Twin Cities today, only a month and
three days after the start of spring and two days after the 4th or 5th
measurable snow storm of April. Crews at Target Field had to hustle in order to
clear Tuesday night’s snow from the field and stands to prepare the stadium for
yesterday’s two-game docket. For those scoring at home, we have two
professional sports teams in this state winning more than half their games AT
THE SAME TIME!!! right now, the first time we can claim that since the fall of
1979.* Like the 2012 Vikings, this year’s Twins were almost unanimously picked
to finish at or near the bottom of the AL Central this year, but they find
themselves in an unexpectedly high spot in the division right now. They would be one
game out of a playoff spot if the season ended today.**
*Not a correct statistic.
**...That one checks out.
