Not very surprising. After Harris hitting 6th, we basically just wait for Span to come and get something started again. Nevertheless, ouroffense has produced pretty well this season.

Also, WAY OVERDUE for Kubel to hit some home runs, I think it had been a month or so since his last.

Here is an update to what i posted in the Mauer thread,

Mauer has now reached base in 145 of his last 158 games he's started

This year .436 BA, .520 OBP with 32 runs and 35 RBI in 31 games

2.5 games back today after a win and a DET loss.

Looks like the Royals are falling back down to earth. Lost 6 in a row going into today.

Suicide squeeze...Missed bunt. The pitch was way outside and Mauer got caught up.
 
Slow game. Twins had some chances to win...Denard Span has not looked good at all this series. 0-8 with 5 K's.




Alexi Casilla swung the bat well today, which is a good sign. A little mad that Gardy pinched hit for him in the 9th. Didn't make sense...Gardy is likethat though.
 
Are they serious right now? 10-0 heading into the 9th and Oakland has the bases loaded and 4 runs in already...This bullpen is crap. They probably pull thisout, but c'mon.

Edit: 10-5. Last two runs from a walk with bases loaded.

Nathan comes in and schools this damn bullpen on how to get it done. Two batters...Two K's. GAME!
 
Good to see us get back the lead and hold on to it.

Early start tomorrow.

I see our guys playing good ball in Chicago; it should be extra motivation after playing in that vacuous dump in Oakland.

Also, a melancholy welcome back to Nick Punto!
 
I thought that was one was a for-sure goner.. just by the way Lee and Slowey reacted to it off the bat

0-0

EDIT: I'm watching the WGN broadcast...looks way better than FSN in my opinion.
