Another of my favorite people at work is leaving to transfer. I'm getting constant reminders that this place isn't home.
Game 109 ‘recap’ Twins 10 Cleveland 9
Because of a work call and a prior engagement, I didnt see too much of this game. The part I saw was Mike Pelfrey have a complete meltdown after being given a 6-0 then 7-4 lead. I try not to be really hard on players, after all the are humans and me yelling at my tv or computer at them does zero good, but Mike Pelfrey has made me break that personal rule. He needs to be at least demoted to the pen, DFA or Waiver Claim trade would be ideal.
The Twins busted out the whoopin sticks tonight, 9 of their 15 hits were for extra bases. That is a welcome sight for fans getting used to the team scoring 1 run a night and barely mustering a hit attack.
NOTES
Eddie Rosario hit two more triples tonight giving him 8 for the season. Surpringly, there have only been 19 other times in Twins history were a player hit at least 8 triples in a season. I thought it would be more.
Did Brian Dozier Score A Run? Yes, he score two runs giving him 78 for the year. Josh Donaldson leads the AL with 80, 65 of those scored against the Twins.
AJ Achter made his season debut tonight. He recorded 4 outs, all of them strikeouts. That is nice.
Trevor "Tony Fiore" May vultured another win. He has 8 on the season. If he was a starter and had 8 wins, the Twins tv crew would be singing his praises as a quality pitcher.
Mark Ronson & Amy Winehouse – Valerie
I always tell myself that I don't like Amy Winehouse, but I dig a lot of what I hear.

Game 109 Twins at Cleveland. 6pm
The last few years have seen the Twins free fall into the abyss after the All Star break. I would say it was one of the main reasons Ron Gardenhire lost his job. Can Paul Molitor steady the ship and avoid another 90 loss season?
Perhaps I am being too over dramatic. But getting bullied and bludgeoned by the Blue Jays the past week has brought up memories of years past. Limping in the Dog Days of Summer and then the Twins being out of the sports picture once football season starts is not the way I wanted this season to go.
The Twins will face the Clevelanders who traded away Nick Swisher and Micheal Bourn to Atlanta. Mike "Do we have to keep watching him pitch?" Pelfey throws for our guys. Cody Anderson throws for the other guys.
Minor Details: Games of August 6
Another big day for Reynaldo Rodriguez. Kennys Vargas may be getting back on track. Walkoff wins for the Miracle and the Kernels. The E-Twins win on their last at-bat. The GCL Twins hang on. A big inning does in the DSL Twins.
Minor Details: Games of August 5
One bad inning spoils Taylor Rogers' day. The Miracle loses it in the ninth. A rough day for Felix Jorge. A steal of home wins it for the GCL Twins. Walks and errors cost the DSL Twins.
Mitski – Townie
It really wouldn't have been a WGOM mix without a little bit o' Mitski.

FMD: Comin’ Down
For hiking in the mountains, there's no better song to keep in mind than "Comin' Down" by the Meat Puppets.
Picking slowly up the rockslide
One thing always seems apparent
If the climb becomes too much
I can always turn around

They say you need less sleep, the older you get.
I'm still waiting for that development.
Game 108 Recap: Blue Jays 9, Twins 3
Plouffe hit a home run! Hicks hit a home run! Boyer, Duensing, and May each pitched a scoreless inning! We're still at .500 through two-thirds of the season!
Mom always said, if you can't say anything nice, just don't say anything. We'll just have to settle for 108-54!
