The Twins finish one of the tougher series on the schedule today as Alexi Ogando faces Kevin Correia, who's silencing critics all over the country with his ace-level pitching. Or maybe it's just early. Either way, the Twins are 10-10, and if baseball was handicapped, they'd certainly be leading the division, yes? Ogando's last two starts have been a bit of a mess, as he's given up seven runs in just over nine innings.
The Rangers haven't been beaten on back-to-back days this season. Huh. Also, they've lost five of their last six day games. Which meaningless statistic will come out on top?! This is so exciting!
I know the Twins aren't going anywhere this season, but it sure is fun to see them try. I'd be more than happy with .500 baseball for as long as I can get it, and a four-game split with Texas is much more than I'd even think to ask for.
