Twins 0, Sux 6
Wp: Sale (5-2) LP: A streetcar named Diamond (3-1)
Twins record 15-28. Man, that's fugly.
Fangraphs thinks Carroll, Dozier, and Mastroianni each sold have a third of the loss.
It's hard to win a ball game when your defense gives away free outs. It's even harder to win a ball game when those errors lead to three unearned runs. It's made even more difficult when the Clubbie accidentally put the ass bats in the dugout instead of throwing them into fireplace. On the bright side, it was bring your dog to the ballpark day so we got to see some puppies.
Streetcar finished the day with a mildly respectable line of 6 ip, 9 hits, 5 runs, 2 earned, 1 bb, 4 Ks, and one danger allowed. The offense was offensive at best. The boys managed 4 hits on the day, and three of them came from the bottom of the order. Some punch and judy, pussy singles hitting catcher had the other hit. That same nancy also had 2 free passes on the day. This wuss accounted for 3/8 of the twins base runners yesterday, but that's not good enough. I say gardy should bench the bum.
Culture club: Anchor Graphics has been a Chicago printmaking institution for the last twenty four years, and in 2006 they joined Columbia College. Their mission was to create an open space for the development of printmaking granting access to the equipment and trained professionals to every level of artist. They continue this mission through community outreach, workshops, publishing, artist residencies, and studio rental. I really admire the folks at anchor, and if you find yourself in Chicago I'd recommend a visit to this cultural landmark.
Something both awful* and compelling about Death Mask Pentimento.
*And I don't mean poorly done.
