At this moment, the Twins are in serious danger of having their winning streak snapped. No one has done much. (At least not well.) So I'm not going to say much about tonight's game.
Last night's game, however, was very exciting. I had the opportunity to be in attendance. I would definitely consider it one of the best three games I've seen in person. The other two are the games that 1) Koskie got hit in the chest running to first as the winning run scored from third and 2) the game that Jacque Jones scored the winning run on a wild pitch, he was on second base and I called that it would happen. Last night's game absolutely had the most action. (26 hits, 7 home runs.) It really felt like a game in October. It would be be cool if the Twins could play the Brewers in October, although it would really nullify home field advantage for both teams.
Oh, and I was on the JumboTron during "Living on a Prayer". Cool stuff.
Anway, a quick summary of the three stars of last night's 7-6 win.
Joe Mauer - 2 for 4, BB, 2 R, HR, RBI. Mauer's game winning HR in the 8th puts him atop this list.
Brian Bass - 2.1 IP, H, 2 K. As much as I don't really like Bass, he really came in and pitched well. It gave the offense a chance to get back in the game.
Delmon Young - 3 for 4, RBI. Although he didn't have a huge night offensively, it was important for him to play well after his 3-day break.
Other notes:
Michael Cuddyer and Alexi Casilla are both missing tonight's game with finger injuries. Neither appear to serious, but we'll stay tuned.
Let's hope the Twins can get back to their winning ways tomorrow night...

Cuddy's isn't serious?
I'd say by the end of 2008, Cuddy is put on the 60 day DL because of that darn finger. I'm hoping that he an come back in 2009 healthy, but that finger seems very, very bad for him.
