Twins-Tigers: Football is a great diversion
Posted on September 7th, 2008 – 12:49 PMBy La Velle
The Twins coaching staff is still reeling from Saturday’s loss to Detroit. Dennys Reyes has been pretty reliable lately and had good numbers against Curtis Granderson. The eighth inning on Saturday was a heck of a time to throw a slider that wouldn’t slide.
Oh well, football is on. There’s not much to update. Matt Guerrier, who leads the AL in appearances, isn’t expected to be available. Tigers starter Chris Lambert isn’t quick to the plate, so expect the Twins to run, run, run.
