I wanted to do an update of the wgom predictions for the two-thirds mark, but boring story short, I won't be able to access my laptop until tonight (I'm on the iPad) so we'll do it later. Brad Peacock, just another guy you've never heard of, starts against Mike Pelfrey. Woooooo.

Game 107: ‘Stros @ Twins
What a beautiful day. The afternoon was spent changing out mulch around my hops and maintaining the yard. Now it's time for sitting on the deck with a couple of Alaskan Ambers and some grilled chops...
...and hopefully another Twins win.
2013 Game 106: Houston Astros at Minnesota Twins
Jarred Cosart
v
Samuel Deduno
Finally the Twins can beat up on a clearly worse team.
Cosart is now the Astros best starter with Norris gone, racking up 1.3 rWAR in just 21 innings. He's only struck out seven in those 21 innings, which would rank last even on the Twins.
Game 105: Royals at Twins
Since I didn't see a game log.
Game 104: Royals at Twins
Yup.
Go TWINS!
2013 Game 103: KC George Alexanders vs. MN Emily & Marens
While none of us have had a lot of recent experience seeing the Royals atop the Twins in the standings, there was a time when the more wrinkled and bent among us did. Back when pant-legs were still short and stirrup socks were long, when free agency and the designated hitter rule were busy destroying the game as we knew it, back before expansion and realignment and wild cards made a mockery of what winning a pennant was all about, and when lawns were gloriously free of trespassers, the Kansas City Royals were an elite ball club in the seven-team American League West, perennial contenders who made it to the more exclusive playoffs seven times between 1976 and 1985 and won the World Series in the final year of that stretch. (Suck on that sentence, Mr. Faulkner.) The Royals rosters back in those days were a litany of greats -- George Brett, Steve Balboni, Frank White, Hal McRae, Bret Saberhagen, Dan Quisenberry and Charlie Liebrandt to name a few. But then the team fell on hard times.

2013 Game 102: Twins at Mariners
Alright, guys. I'm spent. The Milkmaid and I both made it all the way through the often-punishing Flagstaff Extreme course last night, which is something that only 30% of people manage to do (our group seemed to bear out these results correctly). We stayed at a sucky Super 8 and drove home today, and as low-class as the hotel was, it's still been an adventure to be on our own for this long, which is simply something we've not done since she was pregnant with the first one (and we didn't get real adventurous when she was carrying, of course).
Today, 14-year-old Kyle Gibson faces 11-year-old (though this age is possibly falsified) Erasmo Ramirez, who in ten and a third innings manages to have an ERA much worse than Kyle's. He'll be pitching to octogenarian Henry Blanco, though, so that should provide the necessary leadership to set him up for success.
I'll see about ten minutes of this before I head out to work and half-heartedly watch it there on what's likely to be a busy day. Bring it home, dudes.
Game 101: Deduno vs. Mariners
Deduno vs. the World. I feel confident going with Deduno on this one.

Felix Hernandez
Finally a game I will be able to stay up late enough to watch. Except I will be at the end of a move and internet access may or may not be enabled yet. I hope to come back to an awesome gamelog.
Game 99: Twins vs. Mariners
Butera not yet in the lineup. The Nation holds its breath.
