  1. I have had this thing lately where I am waking up at abut 4am. I hate it.

    1. You should be able to. Just paste the URL of the tweet and make sure there's a blank line before and after.

    1. Along with first-rounder Tyler Jay, Cody continues a recent run of power arms the Twins have popped in the draft. This is by design.

      “We’ve kind of been trending to power arms,” Johnson said. “I would say it’s some philosophy that we’ve gone to the last few years. A lot of our scouts are starting to scout that way as well.”

    2. Twins got a guy with big-time power in eighth round. Of course, the question is whether he'll make enough contact in the majors. But he was still ranked 62nd (by BA, I think), and it doesn't sound like there will be any signability issues.

  2. If anyone is looking for something to do during the day Saturday, there's an Aussie Rules match at Lake Nokomis at 1PM. The Minnesota Freeze are hosting the Des Moines Roosters. I'm tentatively attending, so I'll be able to help let you know what is happening.

  3. Been looking at jobs (...uh-gain...) and it always sucks.

    However, thinking about things while I was looking at listing after listing, I think I'd like to be a bike mechanic. I always enjoy giving our bikes tune-ups and I built two from scratch, more or less. I assume this is the sort of position where you just beg around until someone takes a chance on you. Might look into going that route.

    1. A family friend was a mechanic at Penn Cycle in Richfield until about two weeks ago. if you want his info, shoot me a message on the Book of Faces

  4. am in Minny this week. Decided to close out the safe deposit box at the local bank as an unneeded expense. I found a cassette tape I had made a while back and put there.
    It's Herb Carneal and the Twins vs chisox April 16 1995. Beats the Nono underway on the tibn.

    1. Fun.
      Don't know if we have any cassette tape players left in the house that still function.

      1. Also a Nono broken up by Chuck Knoblach double, Scott Leius single and 2 bagger homer by Marty Cordova

        1. Kind of weird to call him up just for that as someone noted:

          1. They could always remove someone else when Rosario comes back (*cough*Stauffer or Nunez*cough*).

          2. Just remembered today but option years are used when a player is sent down to the minors, not when they're called up.

  5. Another great defensive effort by Cleveland. Curry finally showed up to make it a nail-biter.

    GSW needs to come out hot on thursday. I would like to see a lot more David Lee on the floor. He made a huge difference.
