First, I get to make my annual rant on why does MLB insist on scheduling two rivals, who don't play each other much, for a two-game series in the middle of the week? The Twins and Brewers should be playing a weekend 3-game series so that fans can make road trips, stay at their cousin's house, and talk smack with their regional brethren about their state, baseball team, Packers, whatever. Believe me MLB you will make more money that way than by trying to sell ugly 4th of July caps!

Whew! O.k. I feel better. Milwaukee Brewers in town and much like the Twins, they are atop the Central Division with a decent record but come playoff time probably doesn't have a shot against a team like the Dodgers (Yankees, Astros). Jason Alexander, who recently had a bit role in the last season of the Marvelous Mr. Maisal, on the mound for the Brewers. He's a 29-year old rookie who's put up ok numbers but will probably end up as #4 or #5 pitcher or most likely a bullpen guy.

Josh Winder, another rookie, on the mound for the Twins and he's pitched well his last two games, although it's nice when your team puts up 6 and 8 runs.

Game time 6:40 and looks to be a gorgeous night for baseball. Let's go Twins!
