Colon vs. Vargas, 1:15 p.m., CDT
With all that's going on in Florida, this game doesn't seem quite so important. A series win would be nice, though.

Game 142: Twins at Royals
The lead is two. Do I hear three? Get 'er done, Jose. Go Twins!
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 140: Twins at Royals
Game 140? After tonight, only twenty-two games left. Can Gibson keep it going? Does he have momentum? We'll find out tonight. Go Twins!
Game 139: Minnesota at Tampa Bay
The Twins have now lost their past two series and past three games in a row. That, combined with the Angels winning ways, has knocked the team out of the 2nd Wild Card slot. They now stand .5 game back of LAA and only .5 games up on Baltimore (currently on a 7-3 run in their past 10).
A win today helps them keep pace - I'm not familiar with Blake Snell (Tampa's starter), but let's hope Slegers is ready to deal and the offense wakes up.
Edit - Leadoff Dongerjack by Dozier!
Game 138: Twins v. Rays
In the continual roller coaster of the Twins season, we are now back on the downward slide. Three losses out of four games against marginal teams has left everyone a little grumpy. Will the Twins bounce back like they have so many times this season and finally put a stranglehold on a playoff berth or is this fatal fall that we’ve all worried about since May? Except for Sano, Twins looking to field a full roster today as Castro back to catching after being in the concussion protocol. Bartolo Colon on the mound for the Twins and they will need a big sexy game from him. Jake Odorizzi brings his pedestrian 7-7, 4.85 record to the Trop for the Rays. Game at 6:10p.
Game 137: Twins at Rays
I see that hungry joe has a draft post, but I don't have any ability to publish it, so this will have to do. hj, if you want to import what you wrote here and delete this, feel free to do so. Go Twins!
Game 136: Royals at Twins
Ian Kennedy vs. Ervin Santana, 1:10 CDT
Joe Mauer is batting over .300 and appears to be a favorite to win a Gold Glove. A pitcher that was named Johan Santana at birth and has a fastball, slider, changeup repertoire is the ace of the staff. A closer named Matt is filling in for an injured All-Star closer. The Twins are in a playoff position with a positive run differential in September. I'm having some major flashbacks to some really good times. But at the same time, I'm really enjoying this day-by-day with the Twins.
Game 135: royals @ twins
Onelki García against Kyle Gibson
We're headed into the home stretch now. We've all talked about managing expectations this season, but with this soft schedule and the flawed teams in the race, I will be very disappointed if the Twins don't come away with the chance to play the play-in game.

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.
