They must beat Avery saturday night and Smoltz sunday and they confront that task with a world series batting average of .218, compared to a regular sea son Mark of .280, Best in the major leagues. A these Guys can be beaten a the twins Chili Davis said of Atlanta a Roung guns late thursday night a but the try is that you can to swing at their pitch. You be got to be patient and we re not doing it. A the world series is supposed to be fun but with All the Media attention you can lose sight of that. Everything is a Hundred times More magnified. We have to relax and go about it the Way we did All Davis and the twins expect that to happen in the metronome As it did in �?T87, and As it did in the regular season when they batted .302 at Home compared e to .259 on the Road.

The whole team has had enough of a crowd of 50,878 chanted a a sweep As the twins were buried in game 5, 14-5. A pitching collapse was fatal but even that is deceiving. Four walks by Tom Glavine helped the twins close from 5-0 to 5-3 in the sixth. They had the bases loaded with one out but failed to capitalize As Kent Mercker came in to retire Hrbek and Greg Gagne on Groundnuts. Of the twins seven hits three came in the last two innings when it was a Blowout and manager Tom Kelly lifted both Hrbek and Kirby Puckett for Pinch hitters to give his reserves a taste of series action. A we had several opportunities to put them away Here and did no to do it a Puckett said. A we had several opportunities to score runs with the right kind of an out and did no to do it. A execution is the key. They did it and we did no to but some of us in this room remember �?T87 and that crowd in St. Louis chanting a sweep and How we then went Home and turned it around. I have to think we can do it Puckett map of the american league playoffs said he had no explanation for his 3 for 18 in the series.
