Another tough series. This is still a talented Atlanta team.

[Craig Arko]

In Ober we trust, yet once again. Also, I suppose a KC-Cleveland split would be okay, since we’re going to have to beat out both of them. 

[SD happy]

This feels like a really important game to win. 1. Move on after a tough loss. 2. Ober is pitching. 3. Two rookies are starting the next two games. 4. Sale is pitching on Wednesday. 5. Don’t want to start the home stand 1-3.

Good luck to those in attendance tonight. It is disgustingly humid outside

Sure is bad. Good luck to Fair-goers as well.

I bet the lines are a lot shorter at the fair today compared to when I went on Saturday. I took my dog for a walk over the lunch hour and started sweating after 5 minutes.

I can hardly wait until it’s like this from May to November. :(

Wonder if impending weather is going to cause a doubleheader. Good chance of lightening with these storms, popping up in West Central Minnesota. Storms popping just west of Wilmar.

In what world do you have Farmer hitting 5th when you are contending for the playoffs.

Same one as has Margot leading off.

 

Against a left handed starting pitcher.

(Quickly checks to see if pigs have flown away).  Nope, still there.  Huh, who would have thought this was even possible?

Farmer, apparently

[strumdatjag]

Twins website still shows the game is scheduled.   
I'm going into the deluge.   

[Hosken Bombo Disco]

Kepler out again. There is probably some substance to the rumor Kepler hurt his knee as a result of the spider prank.

Current radar has those storms passing through beginning 7:15 to 7:30, with more rain not trailing off til 9:30 or so

 

[Hosken Bombo Disco]

Fun experiment if they try to play tonight—start an opener, prep Ober to come in after the rain delay

Probably just another attempt at outsmarting themselves.  I'm not overly confident that it'll work the way they want it to.
