If you’re old enough to remember movie westerns, you know the scene:
Wagon train is rolling along, hoping to get through territory of hostile tribe. Wagonmaster spots lone brave on hilltop, says, “We don’t have to worry about him.” Sidekick says, “Better look again, boss” and points to where the brave has been joined by a few hundred of his best buds, all looking decidedly unfriendly.
That’s about how the Minnesota Twins must feel right now. Their double-digit division lead, held for most of the season, is all but gone, with Cleveland just two games behind and looking decidedly unfriendly.
