There's an old baseball adage that championship calibre teams win most of the games they
should win. Like most adages, this is largely true. A perfect case in point is the upcoming three-game set with the pathetic Minnesota Twins. The Twinkies are plenty bad to
begin with (18-41, -90 run differential). But, on top of all that, they will have to honor a guy the cut loose to have a
Hall of Fame career in
David Ortiz. That can't help the vibes in the home clubhouse. And home cooking hasn't done them too well this year anyway, as they are 11-19 at Target Field. They are
indeed a target for
The Carmine Hose this weekend. Anything less than a sweep is defeat.
