doubleheader recap: good times

Well, hey. The twins won two! First doubleheader sweep since 1972*. They may be a truly wretched baseball team, but little bright spotslike this make it worth it for me. Last place is not guaranteed. No fate but what we make. Here’s hoping that this is an omen for September.

*sean may have something to say about this.
