The Twins try to end this streak of uninspiring play. Phil Hughes gets the start, so that's a good sign.
The Rangers counter with Yu Darvish, which is... less encouraging.
let's see if we can combine some good pitching with some good offense.

moar Pedro!
Dear Pedro Florimon.
Stop swinging the bat.
Thank you.
Polanco had a clutch triple last night, I'm actually kind of surprised that Gardy didn't ride the hot hand. It's not like he could be much worse than Pedro.
That was one of the worst relay throws this year. Woof.
Who threw that? I couldn't tell. It was HIDEOUS, though.
I think it was Dozier.
Im guess he was a bit out of position because Sam Fuld has an Shannon Stewartesque arm.
2 nil with Darvish on the mound... is this game over?
If the ump is going to give Darvish a strike zone all the way to the batter's box I'd say so.
Even Joe Mauer thinks this umps zone is a bit big
Pedro Florimon now has 7 hits and 8 walks this season.
Dont know how many are tuned into this game, but Bert and PBP guy talking about how there are too many numbers in baseball nowadays was hilarious
Can we get an eight run 8th inning rally?
I hate another "[Twins starting pitcher] doesn't deserve this" game.
If you haven't seen this, Phillies TV booth guy catches home run
He threw it back!!??!!!!?
Bad example to the kiddos.
Darvish with 10 k's. I think 5 of them called with a curveball in the RH batters box.
Bert complains how the win statistic isn't fair. Pbp guy snidely says that's why sabermatricians say "wins and losses don't matter." Then Bert says, "the pitcher's job is to win."
squueeeezzze. boo
Ah, thats too bad Hughes' box score will look worse than what he actually did.
Southwest had free in flight TV, and just so happened Fox Sports was showing the game. Caught the 8th and 9th. Bad outcome, but it was nice to see it in person for a change

That's Good!
Caught the 8th and 9th.
That's Bad!
But it comes with a free frogurt.
That's Good!
But the frogurt is also cursed...
The Twins are who we thought they are.
