*Today’s installment of “Father Knows Best” comes to you from Algonad*

Either my wife or I have read childrenʼs books nearly every night for the past ten years. The last four or five years have been more interesting as weʼve gotten into the chapter books read over multiple nights and not just repeated readings of [...]

In Response to May 21, 2013: Sliding,
- Philosofer: And who at 3B? It’s been sounding more and more like his defense will hold up there, from pretty much every report...
- Jeff A: if you acknowledge you are attempting a revere jinx does that ruin the idea behind it? Ben’s hitting .246 with an OPS of...
- Can of Corn: I haven’t even been paying attention. Where are they slotted and what’s the likelihood that they move up?
- cheaptoy: I assume that must be Taylor’s idea. Sounds like a great idea to put your superstar, who has publicly been frustrated at...
- sean: Plouffe makes Jeter’s defense look good.
- Algonad: Unless Parmelee starts hitting, I see Sano at 1b.
- Zack: It is true. If you can’t use the guy who broke his hand twice in a year, once doing push ups, as your good luck charm, who...
- Philosofer: Sano has cut his K rate over the past 35 AB or so… not a big enough sample size, but since that was one of the...

- FirstTime "hitman" LongTime: I have a prediction for tonight’s NBA lottery. The Minnesota Timberwolves will not move up in the...
- SBG: On pace for 71-91. With Cleveland and KC both not terrible, this could be a long summer for the hometown nine.
In Response to Happy Birthday–May 21,
- Jeff A: When I lived in Wessington Springs we had the Fastnacht brothers, Elvin and Alvin.
- MagUidhir: Elvin and Melvin Tappe. What where their parents thinking? On a Twins related note, Mel pitched for the B League Henderson...
- Jeff A: Well, happy birthday, zooomx.2! We’ll add you to the list next year!
- zooomx.2: I share a first name and birthday with your featured Twin birthday boy above. I remember seeing Mr. Hrbek’s birthday on...
In Response to Third Monday Movie Day,
- sean: Haven’t seen this week’s Game of Thrones yet, but it’s starting to feel like the episodes are padded a bit to...
- The Dread Pirate: It’s coming next year, so you have your chance. I saw it at the Ordway in 2007ish and it was incredible.
- Philosofer: I think I agree. I think. So, I guess I don’t agree with the “easily” part.
- spookymilk: He’s easily my first.
- brianS: QoS, on the other hand, was mostly stupid.
In Response to May 20, 2013: Recovery,

- AMR: The Kyle Davies? He’s on the Twins’ Hi-A club? How did I miss this?
In Response to 2013 Game 41: Minnesota at Atlanta,
- Jeff A: I missed the game, but from the reports, it sounds like a group of terrorists from Tehran launched a surprise attack on...
