Boy, these are fun days to be a Twins fan. They have won two in a row against the mighty Yanks. Their pitching has been superb, as has their defense. Combined with some recently-awakened bats, that makes for three quick wins in a row.

I made it through the Twins' recent losing streak by ignoring them. I am a fair-weather fan. I follow them assiduously when they are winning and ignore them completely when they don't. It is fun to follow the New York newspapers when their team gets clubbed by the hick team from Minnesota. Oh, woe is them.
