Adam Kennedy, Twins Killer -- Again! Angels 4, Twins 2
Damn, I enjoyed that! Is there a better way for a series with the Twins to end than with a walk-off home run from Adam Kennedy? What a sweet reminder of 2002's ALCS. It made watching Guillen, Anderson, and Vlad striking out in the eighth worth every minute. And of course, the second I put up the Glausometer on the sidebar, what does Stoneman do but bring up Troy -- who promptly goes 0-2 with a ninth-inning walk.
The Rally Monkey got us that one, I swear to God.
Escobar -- what can I say about him? It's hard to say which was a better pickup of the last offseason -- him or Guillen. Great game from him, and another spectacular outing by Frankie.
Batgirl: I can understand the fact that nobody gives the Twins any love in the national press. But:
- Their experience in the postseason is mostly limited to losing (5-9 in the postseason since 2002).
- They play in the weakest of the weak sister divisions in baseball.
Thanks, AK!
Update: Here's the Bat-Girl recap, from which one poster asked the question that must be ringing in Minnesotans' ears:
... what the hell have we done to piss off Adam Kennedy? He seems to turn into Barry Bonds when a Twins pitcher is on the mound.Also, as usual, the MLB recap. Sean at Purgatory Online passes on the wacky addendum that the Twins' announcer dismissed AK as a power threat just before he wailed one out of the park.
Heh.
