Hey 10,000 Takes readers, I'm Sooze from Babes Love Baseball. I'll be posting here once a week or so, ranting about the only passion I have left in my life, the Twins. I'm a Minnesota girl, born and raised, currently living in lovely Winona, and there aren't many things I love more than America's Pastime.
We'll Miss You: Matt Macri's .367 BA
I have to start this post by saying not goodbye, but see ya later to Matt Macri and his steady bat. The fill-in infielder was optioned back to Rochester to make room for Nick "Bunt-o." Macri had a homer with 4 RBIs and a stolen base in 14 games with the Twins this season.
As for the Twins who are sticking around to continue this awesome winning streak when they kick off a three-game series against the Padres tonight, keep an eye on Craig Monroe. He's a career 6-for-16 (.375) against San Diego with a homer and 3 RBIs over 5 games. The rest of the club? Um, not so much. Too bad Livan, who is a career 11-4 against the Padres, will miss this series completely.
Except maybe Jason Kubel, who will have a shot at rolling to a season-best 8-game hitting streak hitting streak. Over those 14 games, he's batting .367.
With the White Sox recent 3-game skid and all-around horrible play as of late, the Twins have their eye on first place in the ALC, just a game-and-a-half behind the division-leading South-Siders, who begin their Interleague set against the Dodgers today.
Remember to vote for your favorite Twins to make this year's All-Star roster... unless you're anti Mid-Summer Classic. Man Muscles has pushed popular Red Sox catcher Jason Varitek out of the balloting lead with over 1 million votes and nearly 50k more that Tek.
Go Twins!
