The Twins finish one of the tougher series on the schedule today as Alexi Ogando faces Kevin Correia, who's silencing critics all over the country with his ace-level pitching. Or maybe it's just early. Either way, the Twins are 10-10, and if baseball was handicapped, they'd certainly be leading the division, yes? Ogando's last two starts have been a bit of a mess, as he's given up seven runs in just over nine innings.
The Rangers haven't been beaten on back-to-back days this season. Huh. Also, they've lost five of their last six day games. Which meaningless statistic will come out on top?! This is so exciting!
I know the Twins aren't going anywhere this season, but it sure is fun to see them try. I'd be more than happy with .500 baseball for as long as I can get it, and a four-game split with Texas is much more than I'd even think to ask for.

Big Chief Monk Boudreaux closes out the first weekend of Jazz Fest on the Jazz and Heritage stage. Dave Matthew's Band is playing at the same time, I hope Will chooses wisely.

Twins affiliates sweep for the third consecutive day! Two of the wins are walk-offs! A fine outing by Kyle Gibson!
April 28, 2013: No Meltdown
The Wild were playing a far inferior team on the last day of the season with several ways to get into the playoffs, and yet somehow, they did in fact make the playoffs. As a Minnesotan, I'm a little stunned.
