Correia vs. Harang
This seems like one that the home team could pull off.
Go Twins.

Hisashi Iwakuma
vs
Mike Pelfrey
Playing bad teams is a lot of fun. Fortunately, the Mariners are next.
Kyle Lohse
v
P.J. Walters
So I hear Lohse is trying to join some elite exclusive club. I am okay with making him wait until next year.
Estrada (4-2, 4.94 ERA) v. Deduno (0-1, 10.13 ERA).
Go Twins!
Diamond (3-4, 4.96 ERA) vs. Figaro (0-0, 3.40 ERA)
i'm really every other week terrible at this game log thing, eh?
Anyway, the Twin's ace gets the start today against some guy who I'm told is making a spot start. Hopefully, that bodes well for the Twins offense.
Mrs. Twayn: Turn on the TV, the game's on.
Twayn: No it isn't, the game's not on until tonight.

In other words, I spaced out the early game time.
The Twins won yesterday! That had been a while. Of course, I didn't see a single minute of it because of circumstance, but I suppose I'm glad it happened.
It's Pelfrey vs. Scherzer today, so let's temper our expectations even more than normal.
I'd add more here, but I just woke up after a very satisfying night's sleep for once and I really don't have time. Go Twins, and all that.
The losing streak has reached double digits! Can the Twins press on toward the greater glory on a 30 game losing streak? Can P.J. Walters make some sort of difference against a Tigers lineup that looks like they're having way too much fun in this series? Will Doug Fister give up fewer hits today than Anibal Sanchez did last night? Will Bioshock Infinite prove to be too tempting for me to resist?
Tune in and see - or watch QVC or something.
