Daneeka's Ghost just won his third game of Survivor over at Casa de Leche (there have only ever been eleven). Plus, the WGOM has now won their sixth in a row...or, in other words, every one of them since I've been a visitor to the site. You guys are unstoppable.

Loading... Game 95: Twins 7, Royals 5
Doumit hit homeruns from both sides of the plate, went 3-4 and drove in 4 runs. Deduno earned his first major league "W" going 6.1 innings and allowing only 1 earned run. Swarzak and Perkins both gave up homeruns. The Twins beat the original Jeremy, recently acquired by the Royals from Colorado for Jonathon Sanchez.
The Twins take the series 2-1 and are now 40-55, a half-game back of the Royals.
Congratulations to:

Guthrie vs. De-duderino. Span in the lineup.
