There is baseball. It seems like every time these two teams meet they're heading opposite directions, and then they switch, despite the series going the opposite way. When the Twins took 2 of 3 out of the All-star break, it looked good. Then their lead slowly eeked away. When the Twins hosted the next series it didn't go so well, and Cleveland pulled ahead. But then they swapped right back. Last weekend the Twins came in looking good, and now a week later they're stinkin' up the joint. Since this is the last meeting, it's the right time for the Twins to pass that stink right back to the Indians. Let's hope they can grab a game or two in the process, and then wrap up the season beating on the bad teams.
Let's also hope for some home runs. Max Kepler is back in the lineup, and he's my call to do some damage, along with Sano. Heck, Sano is back too. This is good!
YEESSSS POLANCO
Horry for bomba!
Boo for Jack Morris in booth
At least one out this game would be a good thing
Giveback runs are dumb.
What's the delay?
Weather.com says thunderstorms
Weather's fine in the Godzilla: King of the Monsters DVD from the library. Price is right.

Twins should have had 2 walks in the 2nd with 1 out. Instead, 1-2-3 inning. Arrrrgh.
Perhaps on Astudillo (strike one seems awfully close). The 2nd out featured a poorly called third strike, to be sure, but Gameday has balls 1 & 4 to Sano catching the zone.
Man ... I don’t know if technology makes it easier or harder to gripes about ‘bad calls’.
Still, strike 3 was way out on Sano and that was the difference between a walk and a strikeout. Terrible call. I'd rather a guy have a large or a small strike zone, not a random number generator strike zone.
History shows again and again how nature points out the folly of man...
So will the game continue tomorrow from the 3rd or restarted?
Looks like no. Polanco's homer erased. Weird.
Now Odirizzi's start is wasted. Dumb.
Twitter agrees. Also, don’t they have access to a weather forecast in CLE? This rain was predicted. Why even start it?
I saw a mention that rain came sooner than expected so might have been hoping to get 5 innings in tonight or that rain wouldn't be so heavy when it did come.
Harrison Ford can't be reached for comment
I understand that it's easy to say now, but with rain in the forecast it might have been better to have Friday be a bullpen game and hold Odorizzi out for the Saturday game. Cory said at the start of the game that they had a very small window to try to get the game in, and of course it turned out to be even smaller than they thought it would be.
Yankees hit no homers today!
Yep, so they are only 1 HR ahead of the Twins but have played 3 more games.
