Frankly, if the Twins had lost last night, I’m not sure what new there would have been to say and I may have just written four words “same old, same old” and let it go from there. Anyone who followed the game, or is fluent in box score, knows what I’m talking about.

Instead, after Craig Monroe bailed out his teammates with his wondrous 3-and-2, 2-out, 9th-inning, 3-run pinch-hit home run, and Justin Morneau banged another homer to open the 10th, I’d like to use this corner of cyberspace to celebrate the comeback victory. I’ll probably be among those who goes to the Twins web site today and watches Monroe’s home run — maybe a dozen times or so. Down 8-3 after 8, tied 8-8 after 9, a 9-8 victory in 10. Sweet!

Earlier this week I wrote about the frustration of being .500, knowing full well that .500 looked not so bad on the 2008 Twins.

Anyone who hangs here regularly knows this is a place where we — me, you ‘n’ the other commenters — don’t bury our heads in the sand when things ain’t right.

Today, though, I just want to suspend criticism and revel in what the Twins did well last night. Feel free to do the same.

Nice job, Craig Monroe.
