The non waiver trade deadline has now passed and what do the Twins have? One less outfielder because Sam Fuld was traded to the A's. One more pitcher because the A's traded Tommy Milone in return. The Twins got a catcher for the short term because the team and Kurt Suzuki agreed on a contract extension, and the fans get to be a little excited because the Twins called up slugger Kennys Vargas.

Most everything has been discussed in the CoC, but feel free to add anything else here.

Oh, and the Twins can win a series with a victory tonight. Go team go.

Starters:
CLE TJ House 1-2, 4.40 ERA. 8 starts
MIN Kris Johnson 0-1, 5.40 ERA 2 starts

We are knee deep in the dog days of summer. Todays weather finally reminded us of that. There are other signs: lots of coworkers on vacation, county fairs and town festivals every weekend, only the diehards left cheering on the local baseball team as they limp towards another disappointing season.

Who are these fellas pitching tonight? TJ House is left handed, in his first Major League season, and his longest outing is 6.2 innings. Baseball-Reference tells me Kris Johnson has started two games for the Twins this season. I remember watching the games, but I'll be darned if I can recall anything about those games. Maybe Im scared by Ricky Nolasco giving up two out runs so many times this year.... I dont know.
