Game 28 Recap: Twins 5, Red Sox 6

Number of games under .500: 2
Number of days since Joe Mauer's 30th birthday: 17
Number of guys who didn't know not to run on him this game: 2
Number of days since the Twins won the World Series: 7862

Games like this require that you look at the positives. The Twins lost the lead and then got it back again, punished the Red Sox by making them play a couple more innings. Snappleback pitched some scoreless innings. The Twins had arguably the worst outfield defense in the history of baseball, and it held the tie for a full inning.

Eat it Red Sox, the moral victory belongs with the Twins! It won't show up in the stats, but cybermetrics is a Boston thing anyways.
