Twins and Brewers 2k7

This season, both the Twins and Brewers have reminded me of something we talked about at frisbee halftimes a lot.

If we had just barely taken half or had clawed our way back before the other team took half, we'd always come out of half with confidence. The idea was that we had played very badly in the first half, and the other team had played perfectly in the first half, and that despite this, we were still leading or still very close to the lead. Most times, we would come out of half and roll over the other team for the reast of the game, because when we played well and they came back to Earth, we were clearly the better team.

This is how the Brewers and Twins have looked to me this year. The Brewers started hot, but have played badly in the last half month. Despite their bad play recently, they're still comfortably in the lead in the division. If they can just play like they are able the rest of the year, they'll coast into the playoffs.

The Twins are a different story, but kind of the same result. Their hitting was awful early on, then their pitching, then their hitting again. Despite all this, they're still only 2 games out of the wildcard lead. If they play like they can, they'll easily get at least the wildcard position.

In Summary:
Frisbee is nothing like baseball, but I tried to make an analogy between the two. All you need to know is that I am confident both the Twins and Brewers will be in the playoffs come October.
