If the Twins--who are now 28-39 and are still in possession of the worst record in the AL, but have won something like 9 of their last 11--somehow are able to find a way to sneak into the postseason... I kind of like their chances to go farther in the playoffs than in years' past.
(Note: for the record, I'm about 99% sure this isn't going to happen... and really, I'm expecting that our current winning streak will peter out once all of our starters return back to the lineup. But still.)
I mean, if you go from having the absolute worst record in baseball in June, pretty much having the worst two months of baseball in the franchise's history, and the absolute lowest of lows-- to somehow defying the odds and making the playoffs, doesn't that have to increase your mental toughness? Which is the one thing that we need in the postseason.
Plus, if current trends play out, we'd be facing Boston in the 1st round, and completely avoid the Yankees altogether!
Maybe I'm on to something...
(They're going to lose 5 of their next 7 now that I've had this thought enter my mind.... just watch.)
(Also... I know their current home unis are being used to honor Killebrew, but they should just stick with them for the foreseeable future. They just look a lot better.)
