Hang on....

 

Cleveland appears mortal again...

 

The Twins are playing better baseball (albeit against bad teams)...

 

The Twins and Indians play 10 more times & the Twins have played 2 fewer games...

 

Anyone still say there's a chance???

Nope.  I put little stock in beating the dregs of the league.  This game is far from over yet.

There’s a chance that planet Earth could escape the sun’s gravity and go spinning off on it’s own adventure too. But I wouldn’t bet on it happening.

Enough bullets dodged for today, OK?

Still have the FRE ® yet.

Who has Bobby Wilson for 3 hits on their Twingo cards?

[VATwinsFan]

Wilson is s hitting machine!!!

 

At least for today.

Yes. Not sure you should count me as one of them, though.

In all reality. No, I don't think we will go all the way to catch Cleveland at this point. However, it wouldn't shock me to see the race get a little tighter. I don't think Cleveland is that good, and it would take more than a modest upgrade to change that. At the very least, some entertaining baseball to get through August could be well within reason.

Wilson came through with the key hits again? What, has he been saving them?

W’s count the same no matter who they come against. Just like a month ago when they took 4 of 6 from Cleveland and Boston.

 

It’s unlikely, but not impossible for this to be a race into September.

 

And to me, that would be worth more than some lottery tickets in A ball. Give it a couple weeks, at least.

Yep.

For some reason, when I see Busenitz out there, I think of Ebby Calvin Laloosh - Don't think.  It can only hurt the ball club.

[slash129]

Now there is a guy increasing his trade value.

[Mill1634]

WOOOHOOO!!!

 

TWINS WIN!!!!!

[Blake]

Coolio, I get to retire...until the next KC series..or perhaps White Sox, whichever comes first. Either way, should be around the trade deadline, which should be fun.

I didn't say the games didn't count, just that I don't put much stock in them.  They don't tell me that the team is turning it around, that's all.  

 

I'm firmly in the sell camp, but I'm not dealing yet unless I get blown away.

FSN KEYS to the game:

Twins hitters need to make contact

Score more runs than the Royals before 27 outs are recorded.

You win! You got the "Keys to the Game" correct! 

 

And, do you know what you've won? That's right! A chance to do a game thread at the trade deadline!*

Is it okay to like Dozier again? Asking for myself.

It's always ok to like anyone....always.

Move Cave and Kepler up in the lineup Molitor. Remove Lomo entirely.
