Game 28: royals @ twins
This series marks the beginning of a very important stretch of games for the Twins. We're two games into a ten game stretch of games against our central division rivals where the only opponent with a winning record is....well, nobody. It's the Royals and the Clevelanders and the utterly terrible White Sox. Then things toughen up against the Padres and the surprisingly beatable Dodgers.
All the time, this is our time. 7 wins in these 10 games won't be enough. These are three of the four worst offense in baseball (the other, of course, is the Tigers). Allowing so much as a runner in scoring position against these teams is nearly unforgivable.
You hear that, Over? I want a perfect game today. A. PERFECT. GAME. Get it done.

Game 27: KC at MN – Friday Day Baseball?
Apparently they play baseball during the afternoon now? 3:10 happy hour start.
Honestly, if I were in Minneapolis, with fewer children and more money, this would be pretty sweet, and there's a good chance I'd head over to the game. I guess poor people who live far away aren't the Twins' target market?
Also, there's a rain delay already. When that's done Pablo Lopez will try to get back to being the ace we signed, not the dud who debuted after signing.

Live from the Saturn Bar. I can not highly enough suggest that you see them live one of the 4 times a year they perform. This is the best show I've ever been to. Sea shanties shouted arm in arm with strangers at 3 am.
2023 Game 25: New York Yankees at Minnesota Twins
Domingo Germán
vs
Kenta Maeda
Maeda somehow didn't break anything or sustain anything more than a big ouch from stopping the comebacker with his ankle. Bailey Ober is back with the Saints and Maeda is back in the rotation to finish off the Yankees.
Going back through all the Twins-Yankees season results, the last time prior to 2001 the Twins won a season series was 1992 when they went 7-5. They did manage to tie 5-5 in 2000. Go back another year and you will find the last time the Twins swept a three game series with the Yankees. June 11 through June 13 and September 6 through September 8. They finished 10-2 against the hapless 71-91 Yankees. 1993 and 1994 both had two game sweeps if you want to count those too.

2023 Game Log 24: Yanks at Twins (And Wild/Wolves Playoffs)
We can experience something tonight that has not been aacomplished since 2001. With a Twins victory tonight they will take the season series from the Yankees. Twins have Joe Ryan on the mound and he's been quite effective this year with a 4-0 record, 0.89 WHIP and 10.4 k/9 innings. Nestor Cortes for the Yankees and he's been pretty decent this year as well, even though he took the loss against the Twins last week at Yankee Stadium. Should be a nice, if chilly evening for baseball.
In addition we have Wild and Wolves playoffs tonight. Feel free to use this post to comment as well. Game times are actually Midwest friendly with the Wild set to start at 7:00p and the Wolves at 8:00p. Loons also play tonight against Detroit in the USA Open Cup at 6:30p. So depending on your sport, you are covered tonight. If you just like Football, I guess you can take tonight to put the finishing touches on your mock draft board.
First pitch at 6:40.
