My two days off were busier than most days at work. Retail will be a break after that.

Hernandez (3-1, 5.54 ERA) vs. Cosart (1-1, 1.59 ERA)
If the Twins want to secure the #3 pick in the draft, bringing Hernandez back up is a good place to start. I don't have a whole lot to say outside of that, though. The team is still without Mauer and Morneau was still traded, so the lineup won't look real sexy. Course, that un-sexy lineup hung 10 on the 'Stros yesterday, so level of competition and all.
Players of the Week
We'll plan to do players of the month tomorrow.

2013 Game 136 Recap: Twins 10, Houstons 6
Who ever said dongers don't win baseball games? The Twins went yard a total of four times in Houston's most spacious wiffle ball park, scoring 7 of their 10 runs using big ball. It was the second of Colabello's pair of big balls that put them over the top in the ninth though, causing the Houston crowd to pour out early to beat the other dozen people to their cars.
Meanwhile, in the race to be better than the White Sox, the Yankees decided not to take Labor Day off and stomped the South Siders 9-1. The gap between common crapitude and the basement of horrid despair has been widened to four games.
