Delmon Young is a Beast

On Saturday night in Kansas City, I saw what I thought was a rarity. Delmon Young stepped up to the plate and hit a two run homerun which helped the Twins take the second game of the three game series. It was only his fifth homerun of the year. The odds of seeing a Young homerun in person were not good going into the game on Saturday night. That's not the case anymore. After hitting only four homeruns in his first 104 games as a Twin, Young has hit three homeruns in his last five games. His last two have both been three-run shots in back to back games against the Yankees. The first one was in the bottom of the eight against the greatest closer of all-time, Mariano Rivera, to tie the game at sixes. Never would I have predicted that unlikely outcome. Today in the final game against the Yankees, Young hit another three run shot to give Kevin Slowey all the runs he needed to pick up the victory. Taking two of three from the Yankees and beginning a series against the hapless Mariners this weekend gives the Twins another chance to reclaim first place. If they do, lets hope they can keep it for more than one day.

Tomorrow I am guaranteeing a review of Kauffman Stadium, the Kansas City Royals ballpark. Seeing the Twins win both games definitely enhanced our experience, but it is a very impressive stadium for being thirty-five years old. Hopefully I won't sleep all day tomorrow and not blog like I did today. Working at 3:30 in the morning wasn't the smartest idea. At least I have a dental plan! Lisa needs braces! Dental Plan!
