The Twins closed out the Metrodome's regular season era in style this weekend, sweeping the Royals to finish tied with Detroit. Sunday's 13-4 win forced a one-game playoff- the Twins' second in two years- to be played at the Dome Tuesday.
Great to see the Twins hitting for power and getting off to huge leads; much as they're celebrated for "small ball," they seem to win they slug it out and lose when they live and die by the sacrifice bunt.
I'm sorry I missed the Metrodome closing ceremony Sunday; MLB Network saw it fit to broadcast all of the White Sox-Tiger game (which WGN was showing anyway) but only highlights of Twins-Royals, and none of the ceremony.
That's what DVRs are for. Next time you're home. Dad.
