Another week of great sports action, and so many great performances with which to choose. Step right up readers and give us the one performance that stands out for you this week.

I am going with the Minnesota Twins and their ‘never-say-die’ attitude.

On September 6th, the Twins trailed the Detroit Tigers for the American League Central by seven games. By last Monday, Ron Gardenhire’s team trailed by three with a four-game set against the leaders from Motown.

Royals Twins BaseballDespite touching Tiger ace, Justin Verlander, for four runs, the Twins trailed the Tigers by two after splitting that series. Finishing the season at home against the 65-win Kansas City Royals looked good on the surface. That is until one considers the Twins would face Zzzzzzzzach Grienke.  Minnesota crossed the dish four times versus the AL Cy Young probable, swept the Royals, and by virtue of a mild Tiger implosion, are looking at a one-game playoff on Tuesday.

Break out the ‘Homer Hankies.’ Tuesday’s game in the Dome should be a wild one.

Who gets your POTW?
