MEMORIAL DAY GAME ALERT!
The surprisingly good Royals come to town for a four game series against the unsurprisingly flat Twins. Ryan has been pitching well of late, so let's hope the streak continues.

2024 Game Log XL – Minnesota Twins at Toronto Blue Jays
Ober had to use a lot of pitches, but gets out of the first no problem. Manoah on the mound for the Jays. Hopefully he continues to be disappointing.
2022 Game Log 10: Minnesota Twins at Boston Red Sox
Rise and shine! We've got early morning baseball. It must be especially odd for our friends on the west coast...
Old friend Dick Mountain is on the mound of the Sox. His first start against the Tigers wasn't great, so hopefully he won't start putting it together until after this game. On the flip side, let's hope Bundy keeps truckin' ahead today as well.
It's too early for assbats, damn it! Let's gooooo!
2021 Game Log 130: Minnesota Twins at Detroit Tigers
Uh, day game alert I guess?
2021 Game Log 4: Minnesota Twins at Detroit Twins Tigers
Well, the Twins basically got the series sweep, if not technically (I forget what happened at the end of that first game). I'd call it a decent start to the year.
They hop over Lake Michigan for a three game set with Tigers, all DAY GAME ALERTs. Looks like we'll be spending our lunch breaks with the Twins this week.
A lot of familiar faces in the other dugout this series, including Akil Baddoo who cranked a donger on the first major league pitch he saw. I have a feeling he won't be offered back to the Twins this year...
Shoemaker makes his Twins debut facing off against Jose Urena in a battle of the righties. Nelson Cruz also debuts in his natural position, so hopefully the Boomstick can start to get into a groove. It's a nice, warm day to enjoy some afternoon baseball.
2020 Game 11: Pirates at Twins
Afternoon Game Alert!!
End of a pretty good homestand for the Twins but only the second game of a 4-game tilt against the Pirates, with the next two games at PNC.
Not much to complain about this team 10 games in, except perhaps the performance of Jose Berrios. Hopefully this all gets rectified today against a Pirates team that has only won two games.
Furthermore, who knows this season really lasts so getting as many wins under their belt will do the Twins good. Perhaps there will be an abbreviated playoff to get some closure on the season.
Beautiful day for some outdoor baseball, let's go Twins!
Games 5-7: Minnesota Wild vs. Entire Nation of Canada
Oh hey, just what the Wild needed, another road trip.
This time we get three games in four days against the Eastern Conference Canadian Contingent.
You read that right - 12 noon start time today. Happy Canadian Thanksgiving!
Ottawa might be the best chance on this road trip to catch that elusive first win. But you'll excuse me if I'm less than optimistic. All the HockeyStats in the world can't cover up the fact that the Wild are mixing in some atrociously bad stretches that are costing them games. When those awful 5-minute breakdowns go away, then we'll get to see some wins. Does it happen this week? Part of me wants to see them go 0-10, just to see what Russo writes about at that point.
The Maple Leafs are really good. A road game against Toronto isn't fun for anyone, let alone a team that is allowing more than 5 goals a game. Be sure to tune in for that one, because that'll be the one that the Wild inexplicably pull together and dominate (see last season's decimation of the Lightning in the midst of a truly lackluster second half).
The Canadiens are ... good, I think? I don't know, it's the Eastern Conference, I don't pay attention to these teams. Let's assume that they have been playing better hockey than the Wild. Fair?
GAME 4 RECAP - PITTSBURGH 7, MINNESOTA 4
Four Wild goals!
Yay.
The Wild continued their highly amusing streak of allowing an empty net goal in every game this season. These are the little details that can drive a goal differential past "sad" and into "ludicrous".
2019 Game 137: Minnesota Twins vs. Detroit Tigers
Hey, all. Pretty busy today as I'm guessing you are as well. The Odoreater is up against the Zimm dog, pitching better after a recent IL stint, though he's still afflicted with being on the Tigers. Hoping for a fun-filled donger fest today!
Game 67: Seattle at Minnesota
Big Mike FTW!?! We sure hope so.
2019 Game 16: Toronto @ Minnesota
Buchholz vs Pineda
Tortuga behind the dish in place of Castro and batting 7th (bumping Schoop down a spot), but otherwise the lineup looks like last evening’s successful bunch.
Pindeda’s innings pitched in his first three starts have gone 4, 5 & 6. Rocco & the Bullpen certainly wouldn’t mind if he continued that trend with 7 (or 8 or 9) innings this afternoon.
Salvage the Split!!!
