Mark Buehrle
Twins face Buehrle for the first time since 2011. It seems Buehrle is still Buehrle. A bit older, but equally capable of stymieing the Twins.

Game something or other: Yankees at Twins
or in other words, an automatic win for the visitors
Game 81: Evil Empire at Unwitting Patsies
Sabathia vs. Walters. This would be one of those games where I would actually expect the Twins to win just because they shouldn't, which is the beauty of baseball. However, it is the Yankees and so this can only end one way.
We're halfway through the season and the Twins are about where we thought they would be. At least we can look forward to Gibson starts now (like tomorrow), so there's that.

Game 80: Dang, I missed the halfway point by one game.
Hughes (3-7, 4.82 ERA) vs. Lake Deduno (4-2, 3.32 ERA)
Ugh, I'm not sure if the demoralizing defeats were worse back when the Yankees actually had a scary lineup, or if its worse watching Gardy trot out what I assume (without being able to see) is a Jared Burton with a lingering health issue followed by a Deunsing who can't get righties <em>or</em> lefties out night after night. I think the latter is worse when taking into account the number of pitchers on the roster.
On the bright side, the Yankees and Twins are similarly behind the leaders in their division, so we got that going for us.
2013 Game 79: Yankees at Twins
I had a pretty nice game log all ready to go today, but we won't be using it because it's on my laptop. I'm writing this on my backup PC, which I built about the same time that Gardy took over as manager of the Twins. It's slow. Painfully slow. Matt LeCroy slow. Sloths laugh at things this slow. But it's all I've got until I can eradicate the apparent malware that has basically bricked my laptop.
The Twins open a 4-game series tonight against the team we all love to hate. The Yankees send 41-year-old Andy Pettitte to the mound. We know what he can do. He's beat the Twins in his last seven starts against the hometown nine. The Twins counter with Scott Diamond, who has struggled in has past few starts while posting a 1-3 record since June 2nd. But for once it actually feels like the Twins match up pretty well with the banged-up Bombers sans ARod and the Cap'n. We'll see.
Play ball!
Game 78 : Sunday afternoon KC @ Twins
a win puts the Twins in 3rd place.
Game 77: Royals @ Twins
It took a lot longer than many of us thought it should have, but.
Ladies* and gentlemen, I give you...
Kyle Gibson.
(cue thunderous applause and hopefully more than a strikeout every other inning)
2013 Game 76: Kansas City Royals at Minnesota Twins
James Shields
v
Phillip DeWayne Walters
Hopefully, Walters can record more than two outs before hitting the wall.
Game 74: Twins vs. Royals
Deduno vs. Guthrie
Nothing interesting to say this week. Or any week, for that matter. Go Twins!
Also, go Wolves!
