I missed you guys and the internet in general

Words can't quite describe how much I missed you guys while on vacation. Though it was much needed, I'm happy to be back home and blogging again!

Lots of stuff has happened in Twins Territory since I last posted, including a series win over the Milwaukee Brewers, the avoidance of a sweep at the hands of the New York Yankees, and a much-needed three-game sweep over the Texas Rangers.

Now we're halfway done with a four-game fiasco in Seattle against the Mariners. Kevin Slowey will take the hill at 9:10pm against 2008 AL Cy Young Award winner Cliff Lee, who is a career 8-3 with a 3.57 ERA in 17 starts against the Twins. Meanwhile, Slowey is 1-1 with a 7.59 ERA after facing the Mariners just twice in his life.

Here are some Twins links to get us back on track!
