Loading... Fort Myers stays perfect. A big game for Matt Koch. No Twins affiliates lost yesterday.
It would probably be a fun novelty if the Twins hadn't gotten thrashed.

Air Force General Pete Quesada was one of the original owners of the expansion Washington Senators. He also was the first head of the Federal Aviation Administration.
Bill Deegan was an American League umpire from 1971-1980.
NWS predicts 35 degrees and dropping temperatures tonight. The Twins might be able to break the coldest game record two weeks into the season. They also predict the precipitation potential as holding at around 50% through the night, so this may be one of the few (only?) games where it actively snows.
Except for the freezing temperatures part compounded by lack of sun, some slight flurries might be preferable to rain. I am sure the players will take solace in that.

Fort Myers stays perfect. Caleb Thielbar looks impressive. Josmil Pinto hits his fourth home run.
Happy Friday, y'all.

Since he usually kicks things off by talking about new music he's listening to I will take this opportunity to mention that I streamed the new Flaming Lips album The Terror. Didn't do a lot for me -- a lot of space age gobbledygook. Also picked up the new GBV e.p. Down By The Racetrack. It's probably only for completists. On that positive note, hopefully we'll see some rad lists today.
