I wonder what this dude is smoking?

This is why the Minnesota Twins will be smiling in November.

The Twins may have momentum, the soon-to-be AL MVP and the support of every small market fan who opposes the Yankee, Red Sox, Angels and Dodgers big bucks approach, but none of those reasons are why they will win the World Series.

Nope, the reason the Twinkies will be hosting the Commissioner’s Trophy — what an awful name MLB’s defining hunk of metal — is the power of the Hubert H. Humphrey Metrodome.

That’s right, that horrible eyesore plaguing Minneapolis will be solely responsible for the Twins’ fourth World Series Championship.

Again, you must think outside the box. Its not that the carpeted surface or loud atmosphere or any other traditional home field advantage will help the Twins.

Simply put, the Metrodome just doesn’t want to let go of its beloved baseball team. With the AL Central champs moving next season, the Dome will ensure it can hold as many more games as possible. The Dome’s thinking? If the Twins win one more World Series, maybe they won’t leave me. If I (being the dome) can just deliver one more championship, the nostalgia will be too intense to abandon such a historical structure.

Call it magic, call it sorcery, call it a really tired writer at midnight, call it whatever you want. I just know I’m calling a Twin’s World Series win.
