I'm starting to feel like May and June were just a mirage and even if this Twins team makes the playoffs it will just be setting up another one and done disappointment. But I'm gloomy and melancholy like that sometimes. I can't say I'm enthused to stay up late and watch a game that starts so close to bedtime, so I'll probably be skipping this one. I probably won't be alone.
With a 7-3 record and a 2.89 ERA and 73 strikeouts, young Joe Ryan takes the mound for the Twins tonight. He's opposed by southpaw Blake Snell (2-5, 4.75 ERA, 71 K). So there you go.
Play ball!
Chris Archer
vs
Corbin Burnes
Burnes won the Cy Young last year. He's been almost as good this year. This will be a tough game, just like last year. Fortunately Colomé isn't on this year's team but neither is Rogers or Berríos (though maybe that's fortunately this year).
Today's game is available on YouTube.
This past Sunday, Joni Mitchell surprised everyone by showing up at the Newport Jazz Festival and sang a number of songs with Brandi Carlile. Given that she's 78 and hasn't performed live in years (due to an anerysm in 2015), it was quite the moment. The emotional highlight was Both Sides Now and you can see Brandi Carlile wiping the tears from her face multiple times in this nicely shot vid.
Another 2 game mid-week series against the Brewers. This time in Beer Town. Miller Park lost it's moniker and is now named after an an insurance company, which did nothing for it's toilet-like bowl interior. At least there's a roof on it for the 5 games a year that may be impacted by rain.
Dylan Bundy on the mound tonight and he's done well lately, especially since the Twins have scored 6 runs in each of his last 3 games -- that will also be a big help for the ol' win-loss record. Rookie Ethan Small for the Brewers in his first outing in two months. Hopefully Twins bats can get to him early as the Brewers bullpen is typically lights out.
Miguel Sano back in the line up playing tonight (at the expense of Arraez?). With the trade deadline a week away, could be an interesting few games for the Twins.
Game time at 7:10.

All right, everyone, let's uncurdle our Wordles!
(I have no idea what that means. It's late.)
