But 3-2 against left handed nonbreathing starters.

Baby steps!

And again, the Twins cannot beat a lefty with and Ouija board channeling his best Jamie Moyer impression.

Inconceivably, 5 of those 8 wins were during our 13 game win streak in May. 3 wins the rest of the season.

I looked it up the oldest Minor League player as of 2025 is former St. Paul Saint Drew Maggi.

He is , 36,  playing with Staten Island FerryHawks with an 8.5 WAR and .259 Batting Average,

I see we lost.

Sorry i let ya all down.

Did the bullpen blow those games after they left?

That's right, we had a 13 game streak early in the season. What can't we have another now?

The Twins have a ton of problems but presently I'm fixated on the enigma that is Royce Lewis. How the hell did the "Grand Slam Kid" become a bottom-of-the-order disappointment in such short order? I keep waiting for him to find the magic again...and I wait, and wait, and wait. That towering 20 foot popup in crunch time last night was almost the last straw for me--he's so likable, he's so brash and enthusiastic, and for some time now he's just so bad.

Last of the 8th, Lewis strides to the plate as the potential tying run, our own "Casey at the Bat." He lets a center-cut fastball fly by, then swings at a pitch out of the zone in on his hands, and then with a crushing blow he pops the ball up between the plate and the mound to end the threat.

He could soon end up on the Miranda/Julien scrapheap, but we need to give him a little more time I think. Yet how much more time is reasonable?

He's rosterable because he's cheap but I'm ready to slide Lee over and see Culpeper and Eeles for the rest of the year. Might as well demote Fitzgerald if he's never going to play 

[LakesPibble]

I also like Royce and want to see him succeed, but I don't share the hope some others here seem to be holding on to.

Also, 22000 at the park last night?

I was there last night, I would say that number is fairly accurate.  I have definitely been to worse attended games this year.

@Vanimal46 catching me in 4K from the archives! I finally made it outside, but I came back in because the Twins were on. Does that count as a passing grade? ☀️⚾
