I've been going at this all wrong.
All this time, I thought the Twins hated me, a loyal fan. Lately, though, I've been seeing things differently.
* Crisp fall afternoons are great times for walks and the like, so the Twins made sure that their fans were able to go about their business without having to worry about pesky pennant chases, like that attention starved team from Cleveland.
* The Rays selfishly play an 18 inning game, just so that their playoff hopes remain alive, giving their fans insomnia. The Twins know that their fans' sleep is important, so when they start a game late, they make sure they lose quickly, so as to give their fans a chance at an earlier bedtime.
* Weekend afternoons are to be savored, so when the A's send a perfectly serviceable pitcher like Jarrod Parker to the mound, the Twins send Pedro Hernandez, so you know you probably don't even have to start watching. "You've had a long week", the Twins says, "why don't you go play some video games? I'll be fine." Don't mind if I do, Twins... don't mind if I do.
The Twins really do love us, and they're proving it by letting us go.
Not much activity in the Twins organization right now.

With expanded rosters and the end of the minor league seasons, there's not much activity on the transactions wire these days.
This may be my favorite Dinosaur Jr song. I love the last verse where J.'s voice stays at the same level of calmness while the cacophony builds around him. I went with this version as it was the earliest one I could find. Looks like everyone was having a good time.

Joe Haynes played for the Twins franchise while it was in Washington for four years, then coached for three, then was with the team as executive vice-president through 1967, when he passed away from a heart attack.
John McHale was the general manager of the Tigers, the Braves, and the Expos.
Better known for his football career, William Henry “D. J.” Dozier played in 25 games for the New York Mets in 1992.
I've hardly been able to visit the site in the past few days. I don't mind the occasional intentional break, but the forced break is not up my alley.

Ten games left. Two wins needed to surpass last year.
I fell asleep listening to the end of the Twins game, so I didn't write anything up for this.
I've been listening to a lot of Peter Tosh and the preview Tracks from Ha Ha Tonka's upcoming Lessons, which I'm quite excited for. Oh, I'm going to see Zola Jesus & the St. Paul Chamber Orchestra on Sunday Night.
This is my oldest male cousin Jacob. He's four years younger than me. My oldest cousin is his big sister. Often times when we got together when we were younger, the girls - my little sister and his big sister - would always play together, and Jacob and I would play together. I haven't seen as much of him as an adult as I would like, but we're working on seeing each other more often.
This is an original work of his. I'm really proud of him not only for his talent, but having the guts to put himself out there like this. I couldn't imagine opening myself up like that for the world to see.
