Minneapolis, Minnesota. Yesterday, the Twins were not on Target, and the Anaheim Angels put a halo on Mauer and the Twins, ripping the Twins 9-3. Meanwhile, in Kansas City, the White Sox and the Royals met up with the White Sox trying to crown the Royals. The Twins are pulling away, looking in the rear view mirror at the Sox. The Twins have 70 wins, and 53 losses. A big reason why the Twins have 70 wins is because of St. Paul native Joe Mauer. Mauer, who is as hot as the mercury outside, continues to put a scalding on the baseball and power the Twins past everybody in the Central. This has all the makings of October baseball. Mauer is no number 34, but he resembles Kirby Puckett in the way he is becoming a leader not only behind the dish but with Minnesota’s young pitching staff.
