Behind Enemy Lines: Bookending the All-Star Break with Twinkie Town

We know, we know. The Minnesota Twins AGAIN? And again again after the All-Star break? How often do we have to play this team? (We also know that you know it’s 19 times a season, it just feels like 700).

At the beginning of the season, I doubt either Twins fans or Tigers fans would have believed that the teams would be where they are in the standings, with the Twins at the bottom of the AL Central and the Tigers in third place on something of a hot streak (7-3 for their last 10) while Cleveland flounders in second (1-9 for their last 10) and the Tigers eye a potential climb into second.
