Twins look to stick it Tigers this weekend

All we heard about this off season was how good the Tigers were going to be. How great the lineup would be and how many runs they would score. Well the Tigers are sitting dead last in the struggling AL Central despite just scoring 30 runs in a 3 game sweep of the Mariners. Friday night the Twins bats jumped all over the Grrrs with a 9 run performance. Mike Lamb even got a home run, his first in almost a year. Hooray! Last time the Tigers looked to be turning things around the Twins swept 'em in Minnesota. I know the Twins aren;t anything to brag about but it's nice to see a team that spent a lot and is built to win struggle like this. Meanwhile while the Tigers continue to blow and the Twins play around .500. The White Sox are red hot. The currently own a 2.5 game lead over Minnesota. Tonight look for the Grrrs to jump on Boof Bonser as he likes to allow at least 4 runs in the first inning. Look for the Twins lefties like Morneau and Mauer to struggle against left handed starter Robertson. I have a feeling this one could be ugly, but theres always hope.
