Twins win streak mean 0 because nothing means anything.
Winning 9 striaght over the NL's Diamondbacks, Padres, and Nationals means that we are now 1/2 game out of first. We surrendered 19 runs in those 9 games, an ERA of 2.11. Granted, none of these teams are World Series material, but when the season is over, no one asks who you beat, but how many. Quantity over quality.
because...the Red Sox, Rays, White Sox, Angels, A's, Cubs, Cardinals and Brewers all have better records that the Twins. Not to mention, there are still 83 games left to play this season.So? The only one that matters to the Twins is the White Sox, and they've caught up to them in the division race. See RollingHills' post
It was good to see that the strong performance of the Twins made the lead story on the MLB home page here today. The Twins, without a doubt, are the consistent NL team killers, better than any other AL team. The best part about the article was focusing on the strong fundamentals of this team. The Twins may be in a weak division, but they still have to go out and play against non-division teams to maintain its standings.
