Another big day for Reynaldo Rodriguez. Kennys Vargas may be getting back on track. Walkoff wins for the Miracle and the Kernels. The E-Twins win on their last at-bat. The GCL Twins hang on. A big inning does in the DSL Twins.

One bad inning spoils Taylor Rogers' day. The Miracle loses it in the ninth. A rough day for Felix Jorge. A steal of home wins it for the GCL Twins. Walks and errors cost the DSL Twins.

FMD: Comin’ Down
For hiking in the mountains, there's no better song to keep in mind than "Comin' Down" by the Meat Puppets.
Picking slowly up the rockslide
One thing always seems apparent
If the climb becomes too much
I can always turn around

They say you need less sleep, the older you get.
I'm still waiting for that development.
Game 108 Recap: Blue Jays 9, Twins 3
Plouffe hit a home run! Hicks hit a home run! Boyer, Duensing, and May each pitched a scoreless inning! We're still at .500 through two-thirds of the season!
Mom always said, if you can't say anything nice, just don't say anything. We'll just have to settle for 108-54!
Happy Birthday–August 7

2015 Game 108: Twins at Blue Jays
At the game marking the two-thirds point of the season, the Twins hope to stop regressing to the mean and start acting like the team that outplayed expectations throughout most of the first half. My ability to watch this team has been minimal since the All-Star Game thanks to scheduling luck and bad situations, and tonight will be no different, but here's hoping I don't come back to learn that the team has dipped to .500 for the first time in months.
Kyle Gibson, a solid but unpredictable starter, faces Mark Buehrle, whose year-by-year statistics are so predictable you can nearly set a watch to him. Outside of the better laundry he's essentially unchanged from when the Twins saw him on the regular, so that's who they face today.
Okay, Twins. Let's stick around the Wild Card race for a while.
