The Twins took three out of four out in LA and now they are going for the sweep in Chicago after winning 2-1 today. They took last night's game 4-3 in extra innings. Scott Baker earned his way out of the doghouse by working seven full innings and allowing just one run today. Nice job, Scott. I take back all those nasty things I yelled at the TV last Monday.
The Twins are 5-1 and off to their best start in a long time. I went back to 1999 on MLB.com and didn't find anything that good. Throw on top that they've been on the road and up against the White Sox and the Angels, neither of which are slouch teams, and you've got something to feel pretty good about.
Speaking of on the road, it does seem a little strange that they couldn't come up with a better schedule than the one that had the Twins arriving in Chicago yesterday at 6:30 in the morning. That's after their last game in LA ended after midnight CDT. Then last night's game went 11 innings and today's game started at noon, so I'm kind of surprised that they were able to win both under those circumstances.
