If everything goes as scheduled I'll probably play some other band Dan Boeckner is in by the end of this week, so keep your fingers crossed.

2016 Twins Game Logs

2016 Game #36: Minnesota Targets (9-26) at Cleveland Progressives (17-16)

First pitch: 12:10 CDT

Beat the drum and hold the phone
The sun came out today
We're born again
There's new grass on the field

I've always tried to be optimistic, but my choice of rooting interests often makes that incompatible with reality. For the first time in their last 9 attempts, the Twins won a game of baseball yesterday. And we need to celebrate that. The Buddha tells us the root of suffering is desire. The Twins losing so frequently drives me crazy because I want them to win. It's the wanting that causes the suffering, not the losing. So I've swapped my optimism for appreciation. I live in a major league city and get to watch a major league team try to play baseball almost every day. I can attend a home game anytime I have the hankering. That's way more than I had growing up. So maybe we're looking at 100 losses this season. You can't say the boys aren't finding interesting ways to lose.

Tyler Duffy and Trevor Bauer on the mound today.

Play ball!
