Nick "Don't Call Me Pirate" Blackburn V. Duane "30" Below
Seriously folks, Nick Blackburn isn't that good, but sometimes there is a man, I won't say a hero because what's a hero, but sometime there's a man.

Game 80 Recap: Minnesota Twins 6, Detroit Tigers 4
after jacking donger after donger over the weekend, the twins squeak by the tigers with a mere 13 singles (leaving 12 on base) for their fourth win in a row, and gardy's 900th total. the bullpen held up, though not without creating some drama, and the twins denied the tigers' 8th attempt at a .500 record.
the twins are now, by virtue of teh suck of the central, only eight games back from the sox. i have a very bad feeling that they'll go on their standard july tear and hold on to all of their chips at the deadline in a foolish and misguided attempt at contention, and then crash back to earth in august empty-handed. but that's just my opinion.
game log. Minny at D-town 6:05pm
go Twins
Game 78: Royals 8, Twins 10
Another solo shot (x2) by Plouffe! (17 & 18)
Another bomb by WillingHAMMER. (17)
Another A 3-run homer by Butters (1) - wait, what?!? That's right, 4 homeruns in one game.
Another vulture for Gray (4-0)
Another 9th inning opportunity for Perkins (which looked awfully Crapps-Tastic) but in which he got the job done...eventually.
Another series win.
More after the jump.

Final home game before the All-Star break and the Twins have a good chance to win another series. Right now, they're right behind Seattle for getting out of the AL basement.
Game 77: Twins and Royals – Let’s Play Two!
You know, because the first one wasn't (bad/awesome*) enough.
Hochevar vs. De Vries (third best starter in our rotation right now, or fourth best? Either way, it's truly saddening)
* circle one, I'm building stairs, and won't get to edit this before the second game

Diamond
Sanchez has been quite terrible this year. Diamond has been quite awesome this year. Piece of cake.
2012 Game 75: Kansas City Royals at Minnesota Twins

Duensing
Next Wednesday, the Twins will have completed half of the season. One of the things I love about baseball is the sheer number of games. It's more fun when the number of losses stops climbing so quickly, but with so many games we can ignore all of the crappy games and have plenty of great ones to remember.
With so many games however, it soon becomes expected that there's a game tomorrow. We still have 87 games left, but the day that ends is in sight.
