Start to Finish

For the first time in 17 games, which happens to be every game this season, the Twins did not trail at all tonight. They are very fortunate that their record (8-9) is as good as it is considering how often they have dug themselves a hole.

Looking forward...

Joe Mauer is continuing his dominance of the pimple faced pitchers in minor league "A" ball. Word on the street is that he will be back by the end of the month. Only a couple more weeks before we get to hear Joe Mauer's entrance music again by local artist A&R. I've heard the song, and I'm really questioning the decision making behind this selection. Did Mauer have an agreement with A&R to throw a game last year and when he didn't come through, A&R said "Joe, you know what this means, right? It means you must have the theme song I wrote for you played every time you come to the plate for the rest of your career, and it's going to embarrass the hell out of you."

Here it is!


Back to the team, the Twins are in a good spot...1.5 games out of first place and 2 games out of the wild card lead. It's never too early to start thinking about postseason play.

Record: 7-8
