Twins finished up their 9 game road trip with a sweep of the White Sox last night. That alone makes a person giddy. However, I was just reading the Pioneer Press online and I saw this

. . .before winning two of three against then AL West-leading Oakland and sweeping the team that had the best record in the majors from April 29 until Wednesday’s loss.

Not only did the Twins sweep the Sox, but they also knocked them out of the lead for best record. (How nice was it for Matthew LeCroy to get two homers in the beginning of the game against Buehrle?) I know, these facts are all inconsequential. However, after reading Aaron Gleeman for the last couple days I figured some happy news would be nice.

Romero Trade?

In other news that makes me giggle, it looks like JC Romero is open for a trade. He wants the same chance Casey Blake and David Ortiz had. All I can say to Mr. Ryan is DO IT!!! Yes Romero can be dominant at times. The hard part is figuring out when those times are. Let him become a headache for another team. Trade him for the afore mentioned jar of Icy Hot and bring up Baker or Bowyer. And hey, if you can get rid of Mulholland at the same time, I’d appreciate it.

AL Wild Card

Ok. The Twins now sit 4 games out for the wild card spot (12 games behind Chicago in the AL Central). Is there any chance that the Twins make the playoffs? If they do, is that a good thing?

I guess we’ll see in about 42 games.
