Well, that was a fun week...
The 1-4 record (in which our opponents outscored us by 17 runs) was bad enough, but between Pohlad's comments ('don't blame us! blame this ragtag crew we've assembled!') and the rampant shuffling of deck chairs, it would be easy to lose faith.
That's not what we're going to do, though. The team is on pace for 117 losses, but I don't think this is one of the worst teams in modern baseball history, so pretty soon, we'll see #itshappening everywhere, and we will have to remind ourselves that no... it's not happening yet. Soon, though. Probably. I'm sure there will be a winning streak around the bend somewhere.
It probably won't start today, though.
Already in progress!

v

Because last time this worked out so well, both teams are doing it again.
After this game, there will be one-third of the season left. The Twins have done a lot of losing in the first two-thirds, so now they're in the 54-game stretch where they win everything, right?
Correia v. Sale.
Hammer is DH since he is having trouble running.
GO TWINS!
You know who is pitching. Yay Scottie. Boo Chris Sale.
Matt Capps likes pancakes and so do I.
Go TWINS!
