the boy's had a cold for a little too long, and this is mom's first week back at work, so i get to hang out all day and take him to the doctor. i predict it will be like one of those simpsons side plots where homer and bart are left to their own devices.

Game 166 4 Recap: LALALA Angels 5 – Minnesota Twins 1
i don't have much for you guys, but thankfully this game didn't warrant much. didn't see it. kept a very wandering eye on gameday for the first few innings, but that was (mercifully) it. just a couple points to note:
- the twins have scored 6 runs in 4 games this year
- the twins have tied the franchise worse start of 0-4 in `69 and `81 this year
- the twins have yet to, in general, not suck this year
please note that the "When will teh Suck End?" tag was already stored in the .org database.

I'm starting to feel like the Twins are never going to win again.
Kurtis Blow – The Breaks
I have been writing game logs on Tuesdays for the last three seasons. This is the first year there has not been a game on a Tuesday, all star games excluded, since I started.
