Twins Padres in progress!

Game 141 Twins at Royals
It would be great if the Twins could score a bunch of runs early and cruise to a victory. This late inning rally stuff is bad for the ol ticker.
Ervin Santana for the Twins. Ian Kennedy for the Royals.
Fun fact! Joe Mauer has 3 IBBs on the season, 2 in the last two games! I predict he hits at least two home runs tonight.
Game 134. Twins hosting KC
One eye on baseball, one eye on the USMNT match.
A Twins series win would really put a blow into KC's playoff chances. So lets do that!
Former Royals great Dillon Gee goes for the Twins. With reinforcements on the way (Mejia, whatever September callups), he could be pitching to keep his spot in the rotation.
Game 129 in progress
0-1
Game 128. Happy Bartolo Day!
I said it last night, that was a disappointing series. Should have won minimum of 3 games and it didn't happen. But, the Twins are in the 2nd Wild Card slot as they head to Toronto. Its crazy that its August 25th and this is the first time these two teams have played! Lets look to see who's on the roster...Jose Bautista, Josh Donaldson, Kendrys Morales... OH BOY! Twins killers! This should be fun!
Bartolo Colon for the good guys, JA Happ for the Jays
Game 127 in progress
Berrios Day!
Game 120. Diamondbacks in Minnesota.
Cleveland kneecapped any chance of winning a Division crown. The hope for the rest of the season is to pile stats and maybe stay above .500.
Another day, another new Twins player. Its really getting hard to know who is on the roster and who isn't. Its Kennys Vargas back up? Lew Ford? Kent Hrbek? who knows!! I do know Mitch Garver comes to town. Hopefully he gets playing time.
Ervin Santana goes tonight. We got a chance.
Game 114. Twins at Detroit.
Sweeping the season series against Milwaukee has done wonders for playoff positioning as the Twins find themselves back to within striking distance of winning an AL Central title. Riding a season high 5 game win streak, the Twins are 3 .5 games behind Cleveland and .5 games back in the Wild Car slot (but who really wants a WC spot? I want Titles!)
The pitching matchup is a battle of mediocrity. Kyle Gibson goes for us, Anibal Sanchez for the Tigers.
Joe Mauer has been walking some more lately and has brought his BB/K ratio to 50/54. A week ago it was 45/54. Wek Mauer is getting on base, the Twins have a better chance of winning. Im sticking to that theory!
Game 113 in progress
A new pitcher pitches!
