Our current guys didn't make it, but some of our former guys did. If you're looking for a reason to root for someone, maybe this will help. Note that this list is based on active rosters as of the end of the season. Some of these players may not be on the playoff roster.

WGOM Fitness: October 4, 2012
I'm not sure what was going on yesterday, but I'm feeling better today. I think I was feeling some anxiety, although I'm not sure what would have been causing that. Anyway, I'm back home in Minnesota and although I'm still working today and tomorrow (days 11 and 12 in a row, spoons), at least I'm here with family. I'm also not working the next three weekends, so yay for that. Continue reading WGOM Fitness: October 4, 2012

Game #162 Recap: The beatings are over. Finally. Thank goodness.
Twins 1, Blue Jays 2, wait, seriously? Of Course the Twins would end the season with a whimper.
LP: Diamond (12-9 3.54 ERA), WP: Morrow (10-7 2.96 ERA)
Save (Onesies!): Lyon (1(!))
Welp, as another season of Twins baseball comes to a close so does the another King of the Savers Race. Baltimbrel put up outstanding numbers, they just couldn't keep up with save juggernaut Jim Johnson. Johnson converted 51 of 54 save opportunities to take the gold crown off Dancie McFartsalot. We should all tweet him our congratulations with the hashtag #thankgoodnessthereignofdanciemcfartsalotisover.
There were few positives to this game, and to recap them would take less time than I spent placing the crown on Jim Johnson. I'd like to do an end of season positives, but I feel like focusing my energy on things that don't depress me. I hear the timberpups are going to be fun to watch this season.
Culture club: PS2 in Belfast is an artist run project space where they encourage curators and artists to create challenging exhibitions that focus on urban interventions and social interaction between artists and the greater community of activists and theorists. There will be a more in-depth culture club post on Northern Ireland when I get around to it.
October 4, 2012: Stretch
I get started with eight days of work in a row today. I know that's hardly abnormal for some, but I'd like to complain for a minute here, so just let me have this.

Game 162: Twins @ Blue Jays
Last game of a bad year. Why shouldn't the game log be half baked?
Diamond vs. someone who plays for the Blue Jays - GO!

Minor Thoughts
Probably a lot more than anyone is interested in regarding my thoughts on the Twins minor league season.
October 3, 2012: Milestone
For Cabrera? Nah, for me, as I turn 35 and another season of baseball is over. I'll watch pretty much any postseason MLB game, but please, PLEASE let the Yankees and Tigers be featured as little as possible.
