Its the return of The Mountie. Even in Chicago clothes, I will still cheer for him.
Joe Mauer hit a triple last night. His 27th of his career. That is actually 13th all time on the Twins franchise list. That kind of surprised me! It will be a stretch to move up a slot, John Castino is 12th with 34 triples.

Cedric Tallis was the general manager of the Kansas City Royals and the New York Yankees.
Submarine pitcher Hisashi Yamada won 284 games in Japan.
Ken Burns made an Emmy-award winning documentary about the history of baseball. He also made a documentary on Jackie Robinson.
Every year I am surprised to learn that there was a Ryan Braun who pitched for Kansas City in 2006 and 2007.
I'll be flipping back and forth between the end of the Twins game and the DNC. I see the Twins have 6 runs currently, which is 4 more than the [insert opposition here, since I forgot to see who it was.]. So that's good.
I've been a tad elusive of late. I feel pretty disconnected from everything at the moment. What's the story? Twins winning any games? I have a six-day vacation in a couple of days and can't figure out how that relates to the rest of this paragraph, but I started typing it, and I can't turn back now.
