In this series’ installment of Shopping with the Enemy, we explore the obvious.

when in Florida, you go to the beach, right? 
 

Right.

here we have a lovely Tampa Bay Rays beach towel

and then we have 57 varieties of the same sandals

that’s it, they try to classify an office set and a yard flag as swim wear with a whole section devoted to swim wear, there’s no bathing suits, no beach balls, no beach umbrellas…

file this under disappointment 

You may call it shopping with the enemy but WinCraft is a Minnesota company, based in Winona.

So they're supplying the enemy?  I'm not sure that I can stand for that!

No wonder they don’t understand swimwear

Twins are 9-7 against Kluber so this could turn around.

I know it's not what you want out of a start, but props to Bundy for settling in and giving the Twins 6 innings.

When you don't have it, you don't have it.  Saving the bullpen and keeping the team in the game is an accomplishment of its own.

Correa is heating up. Good to see

He got a later start than most.  Just needed ABs.

[Game7-91]

A good old fashioned rainout would have helped

[Mill1634]

The Twins have a higher xBA (.274) than TB (.269) through 6.5. I know it doesn't mean anything, but the Twins are hitting the ball hard.

Funny how this time of the season how much a week can make a difference in the feeling whether the world is ending.  About a week ago each loss made people think it was going to be a 40-win season, where today there might be a little more perspective and less the sky is falling.  

[wsnydes]

Gordon doing good work.

Buxton, tried.

Agreed.  A reality check was in order after the last homestand.

8 in a row is not to be.

tomorrow a new winning streak to start

[wsnydes]

No chicken tonight.

Silver linings: Only two pitchers used and it was quick. Plenty of time to watch the Wolves disappoint me.
