I know it shouldn't matter anymore, but man, some of these Twins losses are still a punch in the gut.

By Divine Right is know as the best band from the past twenty years that does not have one properly recorded video on youtube. This is one of their better efforts.

WGOM Fitness: October 1, 2012, September in Review
Generally, this was a very good month. I'm currently on day 6 of a trip to the Fatherland, and that stupid scale has kind of pissed me off, but even reading the scale at face value, I lost 12.7 pounds for the month. Continue reading WGOM Fitness: October 1, 2012, September in Review

Loading... Game 159: Tigers 2, Twins 1
In back-to-back days, the guys who I wouldn't expect to be giving up big homeruns gave up big homeruns. Yesterday it was Casey Fein serving up 2 homeruns in the 8th. Prior to that, in 34.1 innings this season, he'd only given up 1 HR. Today it was Burt0n giving up a 2-run shot to Fielder in the 8th, the only runs the Tigers would need. Burton has worked 61 innings this season, allowing only 5 HR.
On a positive note, Cabrera went 0-3 to drop his average to .325 and Mauer had a very nice day at the plate going 3-4 and raising his average to .323. Hendriks held the Tigers to 5 hits in 7 innings of shutout ball.

This one might have trouble matching the excitement level of Game 163, but at least the Twins can slow things down for the team that employs Miguel Cabrera, and Hendriks can try to stop Cabrera from winning that Triple Crown that would nab an MVP award that Mike Trout deserves. Beyond that, I guess I just look at every win over #63 as an improvement over last year, so I may as well be happy. There's no real difference between 63 and 68 wins in the scheme of things, but dudes, it's all we've got.
I'd like to watch some of the playoff-implicating baseball today, but annoyingly, I'll be at work until the last games are ending. Oh well.
