Game 141: Twins 7 Indians 2
Sometimes you eat the bar and sometimes... well, he eats you.
Other times you have some M&Ms, a Donut, and maybe one of those little chocolate Snickers bars. Then you wash it all down with a bunch of White Russians. Oh, and the room is filled with Flowers.
(Good thing the boys won tonight, this might have caused a few nightmares.)
2012 Game 141: Indians at Twins
First Pitch - 7:10 pm
Television - FSN
Last game of a four-game series with the Tribe. Masterson vs. Deduno on the mound. Very busy at work and my back is so damn sore from cutting wood I can barely walk, so I'm phoning this one in. The medical staff says it's not bad enough to put me on the disabled list and I should just rest it for a few days. I'm sure they know what they're doing.
Play ball!
Game 140: Twins 8, Indians 7
The Mountie walks off the Tribe with a 9th inning home run, his second donger of the game, and the Dunce gets a win.
2012 Game 140: Indians at Twins
In the latest exhibition for a possible better future for these teams, Esmerling Vasquez plays host to Corey Kluber.
I'm not entirely sure I'll watch much of it. I'm half-heartedly watching football, wondering if it'll take this season. I'm not sure that's what I want to do, though, because as apathetic as these Twins make me feel, they're going to be gone for six months in just a few weeks, and I'm not going to be happy about that, no matter how I feel right now.
I don't know. I just don't know. There's fun to be had in watching terrible officials take forever to make the wrong call, but bad baseball can be amusing, too. Or maybe it's time to start watching the games with playoff ramifications...
Game 139: Clevelands vs. Twins
Cole De Vries takes on Zach McAllister
This sounds like a game that will not be particularly fun to watch for fans of either team. Let's talk about something else, instead. Food, maybe? I know we're big into health again, but I've noticed a distinct lack of culinary pornography around here lately. This saddens me a bit. What's the most delicious thing you've crafted in the past month? What's the most delicious thing you've eaten in the past month?
Twins game viewing optional.
2012 Game 138: Cleveland Indians at Minnesota Twins

The Twins passed Colorado and are now ranked third in MLB. Cleveland, however, is right behind the Twins in the Race For #1. Personally, I like their chances better.
The Twins have a respectable 20-32 record in the second half, but aren't getting it done in the division with a 26-27 record. Additionally, they're just handing third place to the Indians with a 7-4 mark against them this year. The Indians are two games behind the Twins and have a four game series. I see them tying, if not outright taking the lead, by Monday night.
Finally, the Twins take on Kansas City after while Cleveland heads to Texas. The Twins have a ridiculous record of 10-5 against the hapless Royals while the Indians have split against Texas in six games so far. I just see no way the Twins retain third place and wouldn't be surprised to see them drop to fifth, behind Colorado once again.

Game 136: Twins 18, White Sux 9
This one was a laugher. I went to a friend's to lend him my DVDs of <em>The Wire</em> right around when the game started. I got out of the car with runners on 2nd & 3rd, one out, and Konerko at the plate. When I got back to the car, Mr. Provus said the Twins were "leading by 4." I assumed that Diamond had wriggled out of the jam in the first inning and the Twins had a nice couple of innings. Then he said it was the bottom of the second, and the Twins were up 7-3. I was a bit sad I missed the first offensive outburst in... I can't even remember how long. But I turned the game on at home. Thankfully I was witness to that glorious 5th inning. I can't describe how wonderful it was, so I'll let the box score do the talking:
1. Justin Morneau walks.
2. Ryan Doumit singles on a sharp line drive to right fielder Alex Rios. Justin Morneau to 3rd.
• Pitching Change: Leyson Septimo replaces Dylan Axelrod.
3. Chris Parmelee grounds out, third baseman Kevin Youkilis to first baseman Paul Konerko. Justin Morneau scores. Ryan Doumit to 2nd.
• Pitching Change: Philip Humber replaces Leyson Septimo.
4. Trevor Plouffe triples (1) on a line drive to right fielder Alex Rios. Ryan Doumit scores.
5. Eduardo Escobar singles on a line drive to right fielder Alex Rios. Trevor Plouffe scores.
6. Ben Revere singles on a ground ball to right fielder Alex Rios. Eduardo Escobar to 3rd.
7. Jamey Carroll out on a sacrifice fly to right fielder Alex Rios. Eduardo Escobar scores.
8. Joe Mauer walks. Ben Revere to 2nd.
• Coaching visit to mound.
9. Josh Willingham singles on a line drive to right fielder Alex Rios. Ben Revere scores. Joe Mauer to 3rd.
10. Justin Morneau walks. Josh Willingham to 2nd.
11. Ryan Doumit singles on a line drive to left fielder Dayan Viciedo. Joe Mauer scores. Josh Willingham scores. Justin Morneau to 2nd.
12. Chris Parmelee homers (5) on a fly ball to center field. Justin Morneau scores. Ryan Doumit scores.
13. Trevor Plouffe singles on a line drive to left fielder Dayan Viciedo.
• Pitching Change: Brian Omogrosso replaces Philip Humber.
14. Eduardo Escobar flies out to left fielder Dayan Viciedo.
I tuned out before Swampsludge gave up a bunch of runs, thankfully, so in my mind this game was even more one sided. That was fun.
