Can't wait to see the lineup.
As many of you saw on our website, the celebration last night was pretty spirited. You never know when you are going to be back to the playoffs, so you celebrate when you can.
And the Twins did a pretty thorough job of that last night.
With nothing else to play for, the Twins are expected to rest several players between now and the end of the regular season. Look for your favorite youngsters to get playing time. Today might be a little tricky, as the Indians are still going for the best record, so opposing managers usually put out their most competitive lineup.
But it might not matter who Paul Molitor starts today. It looked like everyone had a beer in their hand or was chugging Brut as 1 a.m. neared. We will see...
I don't expect Jose Berrios to make his start on Saturday. One, the Twins want to watch his innings, as his 184 innings between the minors and majors are a career high. Two, they might have him in the bullpen for the Wild Card game, so they might use him in relief during the last few days of the season to get familliar with it.
We will also get to ask Paul Molitor the juicy questions about what his wild card roster will look like. How many pitchers, 10 or 11? Can Gabe Moya really make the team? Will they carry three catchers? Is there any chance Miguel Sano can be on the roster?
And who is the most hung over?????
