Oh, boo! Lol

I actually meant it as a compliment to the man.  He is tough.

Wittless is not the same as Happless, which is probably more my lot in all this.

Twins have been Happ'less for a couple seasons now, right?

[glunn]

Ortega looking very good.

It is interesting that the Twins have moved Castro to third base for defensive purposes. I recall a game last year where the Tigers put Willi at third and he botched about three plays over there. He's been more than solid over there for the Twins.

Those LSD flashbacks still haunt us all.

[USAFChief]

We got the en fuego version today.

[Mortimerkenny21]

It's nice to have a game going well, I know not over yet. But the thread is having a lot of fun today!

[stringer bell]

I'm on the López for the ninth bandwagon. 

[mrtwinsfan]

winner today,    Ortega

[stringer bell]

Don't ruin this low-K day by having three in your last ups.

[USAFChief]

Taylor in a bit of a rough patch at the plate. 

Since about 2018.

Buckle up. It might get bumpy here in the ninth.

[Mike Sixel]

two fooled hitters, two hits. And I'm told there is no such thing as luck....

They're just coming off winning two of three from the Dodgers. I don't know how poorly they are playing or if our beloved Twins are finally playing well. 

They're also on pace to lose 115 games. My guess is it's the former.

[stringer bell]

All in all, a successful return for López. 

[Mortimerkenny21]

Just some rust maybe?

[USAFChief]

Winnah

[glunn]

Nice win and nice game thread.  Have a great rest of the holiday.

[weitz41]

Nice Win! Meada was great, offense played well, let's keep it rolling Twins.

[wsnydes]

I planned ahead and made chicken earlier!

[USAFChief]

Happy Birthday, America!
