You can't trust the Frey's but at least they don't play in California. We'll cross that bridge when we get there.
Oh and congrats on the best twin having twin catching girls. They'll probably be good at basketball and football too.
Go TWINS!
Gibson (2-2, 6.45 ERA) vs. Hanson (4-2, 5.10 ERA)
Well, the Twins are out on the West Coast, which from a "following the game" standpoint might as well be the other side of the world. Because of that, I have no idea what is going on. What I've been able to gather is that the Angels also suck, most likely still reeling from the loss of ii's leadership.
So, my internet went out halfway through the game and I was unable to see the Twins close this one out. What I did get to see is Clete Thomas go into Beast Mode and further establish himself as the 3.5th outfielder the Twins have needed to get over the hump. 3-1 since the All-Star Break, and a week before the trade deadline. BUY!
Okay, I'll be completely honest. This picture represents the foundation of why I really, really don't like the Angels. Oh, I understand that my dislike is largely misplaced, that had Calvin Griffith not been a tightwad of Biblical proportion and, let's face it, more than just a bit of a racist, Carew might has spent his entire career with the Twins.

Masterson vs. Correia. Free drinks all last night. I hope the sun doesn't feel too aggressive today.
The winning streak is only at three games, but it feels a lot more substantial than that. Optimism reigns supreme. I'm thinking it's not too late for the Twins to be buyers at the deadline.
Kluber vs. Correia tonight. I have a good feeling about this one.

I'll admit to feeling pretty good about the Twins. They're still an awful team, but winning two out of three in New York since ever helps a lot.
Well, I said I wouldn't post another Sunday recap if the game had been a losing effort. I'm glad that didn't even last 1 time through the order! The Twins had 14 hits on the day and cashed in on 2 Yankees errors to score 10 runs. Aaron Hicks hit his 8th Home Run of the year, a 2-out, 3-run shot in the 3rd inning off of C.C. Sabathia who, by the way, took his first loss against the Twins....since nearly ever. He had been 11-0 in his last 12 starts against the Twins.
There's more, if you care to read on...
Ah, a merciful end comes as we enter the All-Star break. The Twins are 38-53, which is right around the disaster we feared they'd be at the "half." This AL East tour certainly did the team no favors. The Yankees are 51-43 but are sitting in fourth in their always-ridiculous division.
Kyle Gibson, who has one win, faces Captain Cheeseburger, who has two hundred. I plan to watch the Yankee feed, but if it's a CC love-fest I might have to rethink things.
A series win in New York...it's impossible, right? Let's see it anyway, Twins.
There is a game at noon
Samuel 'Ace' Deduno vs. Phil Hughes
Baby steps now, fellas... let's try for a run, then we can get to the details of how to keep Robinson Cano from bolstering his MVP case.
