I like these winning streaks wrapped around the All-Star break. The Twins haven't lost in more than a week. Plus, it allowed Scott to pitch in four games in a row and save three of them.

A tough day for Twins affiliates. Matthew Summers had an excellent game. Oswaldo Arcia hit a home run.

Dinosaur Jr. — Start Choppin’
I think this song was played once or twice at the old basement but not this version. Fun to see a young J Mascus, plus I love the mod get-ups the band is wearing. Don’t see anyone plugging their ears so J and the crew must have the amps turned down a bit.
That’s it. Thanks for listening and watching Freealonzo’s Rock Week. Are You Not Entertained?

Loading... Game 94: Clevelanders @ Twins
The winning streak is only at three games, but it feels a lot more substantial than that. Optimism reigns supreme. I'm thinking it's not too late for the Twins to be buyers at the deadline.
Kluber vs. Correia tonight. I have a good feeling about this one.

July 20, 2013: Exit
The Milklings are leaving for two weeks. This is bad for me but brutal for my elder daughter, who's obsessed with routine (I know, I know. Everyone is. But she's worse). I'm glad Skype exists in my time.
