This is going to be a hitter's park, which doesn't bode well for a team that stays consistent based on bullpen strength and a system full of starting pitchers that pound the strikezone.

But the other side of the coin is that it negates the disadvantage of having a lineup full of warning track power. A 345-foot home run counts the same as a 450-foot home run. Twins home runs could go up and if the pitchers keep doing their job, that can only be a positive.

But I hear you. At the very least, I'd like to see a high left field fence or more foul territory to give them a little edge with their perennially strong defense. I'm not as concerned with short power alleys.

Huge win tonight! Couldn't believe they gave up 5 home runs, especially letting Longoria go long 3 times out of 5 at-bats. That's just ridiculous, but I guess that's what happens when you have tired pitchers who still throw lots of strikes. Never would've guessed they'd put up a 5-run 9th inning though. Thank god. They really needed that one.

Criminal, yes. But at least he's only had 92 AB's. It's a little bit better than 333.

I am excited to see these Brewers in the post-season. Is good for bratwursters to see more baseballs. I am excited to see these CC Sabathia pitch like rented mule maybe 14 more games for these Brewers.

I am excited that these Calzini Bianchi di Chicago are still "up in this bitch," and that many nails will be bited with the final games of them.

So great these end of season for me to watch it. So great.
