I'm attending my brother-in-law's wedding/reception today. I don't even know who's pitching. Consider this game log half baked.

Twins record at Target Field 28-37
Twins record on the road 33-41
Twins have lost 8 in a row at home, 10 of 11
Looks like the plan tonight is to give up all six runs in the first inning.
welp, in a night where Im not really interested in the Twins.....
On a night where all I have going on is the Twins game, I get here late and *drumroll please* they're already down. Now what the hell do I do all night?
Jose Bautista is going to hit a HR run
Joe Mauer's last game was Aug 19, he still has a 29 hit lead over the next active Twins player (144 to Dozier's 119)
Pedro Florimon is the team leader at 13 SB's
the last time a Twins SB leader had under 15 SB was 1984 when Kirby Puckett had 14
1983 was even less, Ron Washington led the Twins with 10
On the plus side, the Red Wings put up six in the fifth inning and lead Pawtucket 8-0 after five.
There was a 2-for-1 on sixers of Abita Strawberry Lager today. It's pretty tasty, but after the 4th it's a bit much.
I give that one a 'after the first' it's a bit much.
Now, their spring IPA is something to behold. Restoration is also worth your time.
hey, a run
how did that happen
I've had the game on since the 1st and I couldn't tell you. Kawasaki didn't get a neighborhood call at 2nd, then there was a 5U-3 GIDP leaving a runner on 2nd. Next time I looked, there was a run.*
*I think, no promises.
top 5 favorite players that have worn a Blue Jays uniform:
Paul Molitor
Glenallen Hill
Fred McGriff
Devon White
Frank Catalanotto (because Herb Carneal could never pronounce his name)
Molitor
McGriff
Barfield
Olerud
Henke
An empty potato chip bag getting blown across the field just got some quality camera time. This is what September baseball between two hopeless teams looks like.
Good job, iPunto. You didn't destroy the rally with a grand slam.
sorry, i'm a little late. THE TWINS WILL SCORE 8 RUNS THIS INNING!!!11
bases loaded, no outs, 1 run. close enough.
boo.
Adam 'Jose Bautista' Lind
Did I ever mention how I don't like watching the Twins play the Jays?
i can't fault the bullpen that much at this point in the season since they've pitched a combined 43,827 innings.

THE TWINS WILL SCORE 8 RUNS THIS INNING!!!11
and hopefully a couple more
For a bit there, I thought I'd muted my stream. It turns out I hadn't, it was just that the crowd noise was non-existent.
A healthy 3-for-9 with RISP, and yet we still only scored 2. A good evening to have spent with friends, it looks like.
Twins' divisional elimination number is 2.
Twins can be eliminated from the division tomorrow.
Or they can let the Angels do it on Monday. 🙁
Twins' wild-card elimination number is 7.
Twins can be eliminated from postseason play on Wednesday.
Brian Duensing called the meeting to order.
"I'm sorry, guys," he said. "I really thought that six run thing would work, but I guess it didn't. So, here's what we have to do. No matter how long it takes, no matter how hard it is, we have to come up with a New Plan."
"Harrumph," the other pitchers said. "Harrumph. Harrumphy."
"Hey!" Duensing said. "The new guy in the back didn't give me a harrumph!"
"Give Duensing a harrumph, new guy." Casey Fien ordered.
"I'm sorry," said Andrew Albers. "It's just that, well, the new plan seems kind of obvious."
"Oh, yeah?" said Anthony Swarzak. "Well, since it's so 'obvious'," he said, using finger quotes, "maybe you could tell us what it is."
Albers replied, "Well, since we've been losing games by giving up six runs, it seems like the solution would be to not give up six runs."
There was silence. Then, "Harrumph," said Jared Burton, quietly. "Harrumph," echoed Mike Pelfrey. "Harrumph! Harrumph!" cried the other pitchers in unison. If Handel had written the "Harrumph Chorus", this is what it would have sounded like.
"Then it's settled," Duensing said. "Tonight we will not give up six runs. Kevin, Josh, Caleb, you guys take care of it."
After the game, Kevin Correia sat slumped in front of his locker. "That's what we get for listening to a rookie," he said.
We'll just have to settle for 83-79!
2006 Cardinals were 83-78 and won the World Series. Twins are setting this up perfectly
