Remember last week, when I said that the Twins needed to get things going, or be left behind? They're getting left behind.
At this point, they need to catch up to the Tigers.

Can't imagine there's going to be a lot of traffic here today, but this is here should you wish to subject yourselves to assbats on this fine holiday. For those brave (or bored) souls, let's see what Lynn and his 6.34 ERA can do.
aaaaaaand Mitch Garver allows a wild pitch. Drink?
As bad as things have been over the past couple of weeks, we still find ourselves only 4 games out.
Also, as expected, our power hitting third baseman is on the leaderboard for SLG, OPS, and extra base hits. He's even leading the league in doubles.
That Lynn fellow, on the other hand, needs to step it up. Hopefully, he gets his first win as a Twin tonight.

Here’s your pinch-hit game log.
Lance Lynn will take the ball in his Twins debut, while Jameson Taillon makes his first start of the season.
PNC Park is the top of my Ballparks To Visit list. From everything I’ve heard, it’s one of the few modern ballparks that might rival the LOL for Best in MLB honors.
Two more games to enjoy today. On the downside, Joe Buck enters the postseason.
Detroit Tigers at New York Yankees
Anibal Sanchez vs. Hiroki Kuroda
The Tigers are up one game, Jeter is broken and out, and Girardi has favored emotion over intelligence and is burying A-Rod. I got very close to cheering for the Yankees over the Tigers, but I'm finding that I just...can't. Amazingly, it's another early game for the Yankees.
St. Louis Cardinals at San Francisco Giants
Lance Lynn vs. Madison Bumgarner
The last two champions meet in the next CS for the first time in six decades, I read. Lance Lynn had 18 Wins this season and I'm fairly sure I've never heard of him. I'm not in love with either of these teams, but I like both of them enough to cheer them over the other clowns.
