Twins are the "hottest team in baseball" right now and we haven't gained a single game on the Detroit Tigers because they are beating the crap out of the NL as well right now.
The Twins have won 18 of their last 20 and really have nothing to show for it, other than a much better record than they did when they started out in June. I think I read that they are 14-2 vs the NL so far this year. Nice, but almost completely meaningless in the grand scheme of things. I hate to have false hope on how well they are playing based mostly on who they've played. Aside from sweeping Boston (which was very cool), they really haven't played anyone worth bragging about: Pittsburgh? Houston? Cubs? *shrug*
We'll see what happens. As a team, I still don't have a lot of confidence in them, despite how well they've played the past month. THe highlights come from Santana, Liriano, Mauer and Morneau, all who had a fantastic June.
