Minnesota Twins at Kansas City Royals, Jul 27, 2010 8:10 PM EDT
Know Thine Enemy: Royals Review
After last night's 19-1 pounding of the Kansas City Royals to open a three game series at Kauffman Stadium, the Twins find themselves one game back of the division leading Chicago White Sox. Tonight, the Twins look for their fourth straight victory and a move back into first place. Word is that Denard Span will be back in the lineup tonight, don't be surprised if Gardy keeps Jason Repko's hot bat in the lineup as the right fielder in place of Jason Kubel.
So far this season, Carl Pavano has done everything the Twins have asked of him, and more. Undefeated over his last nine starts, Pavano's consistency has kept the Twins in the Central Division race as other starters and the offense have struggled over the last month. Carl has averaged over seven innings a start and looks for his third straight complete game tonight.
About the best thing I can say about Bruce Chen is that he's left handed. Unfortunately for him, he's struggled against left handed hitters this year, to the tune of a 5.56 to 4.58 xFIP L-R this season. Chen throws a mid-80s "fastball" about half the time, and mixes a slider, curve and change. He walks over four batters per nine innings, so if the Twins hitters are patient tonight they could do some real damage. Chen has been hit hard in his last three starts, 24 hits and 12 runs allowed in his last 15 innings. But on June 10th, he got a win against the Twins in a 9-8 victory in which he gave up five runs in 6.1 innings, so anything can happen.
Lineups will be posted after the jump once they are available.

Mauer (DH)
Young
Cuddyer
Valencia
Hardy
Punto
Butera
I’m choosing not to fret about the lineup today. Clearly I was wasting my time the last two nights.
defense
probably the best one we’ve put on the field in awhile…
Gardenhire's major league career: Banjo hitting, futility infielder who couldn't lick it.
Rick Anderson's major league career: Strikethrower who never made it happen with his sub 90's fastball.
Really gives a new definition to living vicariously through other people, don't it?

I had already tried this about 3 weeks ago.
However, my facial hair is ridiculous. It comes in about 5 different colors all sported at once, and people kept thinking the patch of red hair on the left side of my lip was a stain. After the 4th time I had to tell someone, “No, that’s not dirt/food/etc. it’s how my stache grows” I just decided to shave the thing.
lol
This is why most facial hair is best grown during a long retreat in the wilderness.
Bingo.
When I decided to go bearded last year – Which, to be fair, was probably a mistake but was kind of fun – I let my facial hair go for 4 or 5 days (as long as was sane, maybe a bit longer), then went away for a long weekend… And came back with the start of a beard.
Oh man. I looked weird with a beard.
Go Twins!

Been working on a nice beard for about a month. Shaving it in a few days for a wicked stache.

Soo tired
Sunday: work 10p – 6a
Monday: Drive to KC (7 hrs) watch Twins murder the Royals
Tuesday: Drive back so I can work 10p – 6a all over again
It was totally worth it, though.
Spur of the moment
I saw the pitching matchup along with really cheap, but good, tickets, and decided to pull a ridiculous road trip. So much for the pitching matchup, though.
Sooooo...how nice is Kauffman?
I’m pretty jealous. Aside from the sucky work schedule. :\
The Pavstache will own you.

It's really, really nice
It might be better than…. well, I’m not going, there. The brilliant thing about it is how much room there is.
Hmm.
I may need to make a trip there sometime soon. It looks like such a nice park, and Royals fans seem friendly enough.
The Pavstache will own you.
It was about 50/50
Twins/Royals fan. There was a 12 yr old kid sitting next to me who kept complaining that it was practically a home game for the Twins. I wish I had known how much room there was for tailgating beforehand, though.
I wouldn't say it's better, but it's really nice and the refurb they did on it
only made it better. I’m from KC originally so I was there pre-update and post-update and while it was always nice, it got really nice. Drawback is the setting. It’s got nice fountains with an interstate for the backdrop. It’s close to nothing but a Dennys so unless you’re tailgating, you’re not walking to anything but the car after the game. And for replays the landscape screen at TF is better. KC fans are generally pretty nice, so if you’re thinking about a trip I recommend Oklahoma Joe’s for the best BBQ in town.
Anybody else see this?

Oh wow.
Souhan just makes these things painfully awkward. What a douche.
The Pavstache will own you.
In the FaceOff thing (I think that's what it's called; it is during Wild games)
he kept taking shots at Coom, such as “How many times were you beaned when you played? Rauch needs to go!”. Things like that.
The Pavstache will own you.
Is this where they do texting votes for the winner of an argument?
I thought they stopped doing that because people would always just vote against Souhan no matter what.
Yeah, it's that deal.
And I will admit, I voted against him out of spite several times. :)
The Pavstache will own you.
Span really needs to stop doing that.
Hes not a good base stealer, and I don’t think on-the-job training is going to work out.
should have been an RBI!!

It must be this storm that's coming. Where is the station?
Maybe it lost power.
"It happened in the moment, and it happened." - Carlos Gomez
Nah
Storm is nothing but a bunch of wind and rain. Very unlikely that this would knock the station off the grid.
Back for me, but I can hear the lightning static.
We’re about to get destroyed, I think.
It's just raining heavily with a little thunder/lightning here.
Unless worse is coming, it’s not bad.

here is wright county. we’re basically past it and its nothing more than a garden variety storm.
It's supoposed to get stronger tho I thought

Good night, good game [so far]
Get some more runs if you can, but definitely don’t let any more score against. See you in the morning.
Go Twins!
Let's Go Twins!
Minnesota Wild Off-season: In Fletch We Trust.
Crain in July
10 appearances
10 innings, 4 hits, 0 runs, 1 BB, 10Ks
Can’t get much better than that.
Oh, geez, Dick and Bert.
We all feel so terrible that you have one of the best jobs on the planet. :)
The Pavstache will own you.

C'mon Punto...
get a hit! I mean, I’ll still love you if you don’t…but I can’t speak for anyone else…

LNP is the only Twin without a hit...

If it was any team other than Royals, I swear I wouldn't feel bad
They just feel like our little brother or something…
I know how you feel.
When we’re not playing the Royals, I actually like them quite a bit. Or…feel badly for their fans. :\
The Pavstache will own you.
C'mon LNP!
You can do this!

Wouldn't be a ninth inning with Rauch without a hit given up...

Not a good start, Rauch.

Pavano officially enters the Cy Young discussion
sorry if it’s already been said but he’s tied for the AL lead in wins, has a great ERA and WHIP, and check out the BB/9

Verlander a complete game 5-hitter. That Tigers lineup had three LNP's tonight, though.
