Farewell, old friend.

A quick look at the Twins' full-season minor league teams. Minor league rosters were not complete when this was put together, so it's possible some things have changed.

We would also like to wish a happy birthday to the Philosofer's wife.
The Milkmaid's final interview after a long process is today at 4. I'm losing my mind without her and my girls, so here's hoping.
With any luck, I'll get to see my first few innings of the season today...damn wiener work schedule. Today the Twins start a new 8-game winning streak against the Orioles, as Good Kyle Gibson faces former mostly-Brewer Yovani Gallardo. I'm typing this in the car on my lunch break, sooooo...wow, it's time to get back. Hopefully I can join y'all toward the end of this one.
I've noticed that they don't really play that Gary Glitter song anymore at hockey games. Huh. I wonder why...

I haven't checked, but my guess is that four Hall-of-Famers born on the same day is the record.
We missed this one a couple weeks back. See you around, Pfife Dawg.
