Game 136: Royals at Twins
Ian Kennedy vs. Ervin Santana, 1:10 CDT
Joe Mauer is batting over .300 and appears to be a favorite to win a Gold Glove. A pitcher that was named Johan Santana at birth and has a fastball, slider, changeup repertoire is the ace of the staff. A closer named Matt is filling in for an injured All-Star closer. The Twins are in a playoff position with a positive run differential in September. I'm having some major flashbacks to some really good times. But at the same time, I'm really enjoying this day-by-day with the Twins.

Game 135: royals @ twins
Onelki García against Kyle Gibson
We're headed into the home stretch now. We've all talked about managing expectations this season, but with this soft schedule and the flawed teams in the race, I will be very disappointed if the Twins don't come away with the chance to play the play-in game.

Minor Details: Games of September 1
A solid performance by Aaron Slegers. Dereck Rodriguez pitches well and Gabriel Moya has nothing to learn in Chattanooga. Anthony Marzi pitches well in his high-A debut, but Fort Myers fails to clinch the division. Jimmy Kerrigan hit two homers. Mariano Calcano keeps the DSL Twins' hopes alive.
