2020 Game 56 – Tigers at Twins
Final week of the season and the Twins start a two-gamer against the Gardy-less Tigers #pouroneoutforGardy.
No announced starter for the Twins this morning but the Tigers trot out Tarik Skubai, who has won and lost a game against the Twins this year.
UPDATE: It's Homer Bailey!!!! Who even remembers he was on the team?
Nelson Cruz appears to still be nursing a sore knee so we probably won't see him today.
There's still a chance for the Twins to win the Central so I'd hope they take these last few games seriously, especially against a team that definitely is looking forward to wrapping up and going home.
September mid-week game so 6:40p start.

At The Movies: At The Movies
So gang, when and under what circumstances would you ever see yourself going to a theater again? I never went much to begin with, so I'm definitely not in any rush. I'm also curious how long studios will go with holding all their movies back in this climate. Doesn't seem like things will get much better going into the winter...
What else have you been watching? Who was most robbed of an Emmy?
September 21, 2020: The Last Ride Of The Fightin’ Gardys
I know we mentioned it before, but it was a helluva a run for Gardy. Yeah, sure, we wish things had gone a little differently, but he was a good manager and a great guy.
