Where did the Twins come from? They came out of nowhere, and now their competing with the Yankees and Rays for the best record in the American League. I had given up on them when they lost Joe Nathan for the season, but they have been able to overcome the loss of their all- star closer. However, I do not think they will be able to overcome this loss for long. They will likely have to go through both the Yankees and the Rays if they want to go to the World Series, and both have very good offenses that can come back late in games. Their bullpen will have to hold onto the few games they are in late, or they will go down and they will go down hard. They also have uncertainty at the back end of their rotation, and they don't matchup well lineup to lineup with either the Yankees nor the Rays. They could just be a giant road bump on an epic Yankees/ Rays ALCS, but they will go down fighting.
