Over at Twinkie Town they argue this is because this is simply the best Gardy-managed Twins team yet, and I'd have to agree with them. The 2006 run was magical, but these guys have the moxie and the ability to actually hit the ball. And since we all know the playoffs are just a crap shoot, who knows what'll happen from here on out?
In more Twinkie-centric links, the always long-winded and entertaining Joe Posnanski wonders why so few people are talking about how Grady is clearly the best manager in baseball. This may just be my home-town bias, but you'd be hard pressed to find a guy who's done more with less like Grady has. And now that he has a realy payroll and a Hall of Famer coming off the bench to pinch hit instead of guys that probably shouldn't even be in Triple-A ball, we'll see if he can finally turn that managing acumen into some post season success...
