September 30, 2016: 102 and (still) counting
No history made last night as the Twins managed to break a 4-4 tie with 3 runs (all needed - Royals added 2 in the home half) in the top of the 9th to win their first game at Kauffman all year.
FMD: Wake me up when September Ends
Kernel's learning the days of the week with a song set to the Addams Family tune:
There's Sunday and there's Monday
There's Tuesday and there's Wednesday
There's Thursday and there's Friday
And then comes Saturday
Days of the week *snap snap*
Days of the week *snap snap*
Days of the week, days of the week, days of the week *snap snap*
List of songs that use or reference days, dates, months, time, etc. - Go!
Happy Birthday–September 30

Gabby Street was a light-hitting catcher who played in parts of eight major leagues seasons, mostly for the Washington Senators. He was Walter Johnson's primary catcher. He later did some managing and broadcasting. He is best remembered as the first man to catch a baseball dropped from the top of the Washington Monument.
Game 159: Twins at Royals
A loss today breaks the Twins record of 102 losses in a season.
In franchise history, only the 1904, '07, '09 and '49 Senators have lost more than 102 ballgames in a season.
In franchise history, the current team sits in 7th place with a losing winning % of .354 ...
Over the past 6 seasons (including 2011), the team is 404-564, accumulating a .417 W-L% over that time.
Only 7 teams in franchise history have allowed more runs than the current squad (873), and I thoroughly expect them to move into 5th place (>880) or perhaps 4th (>889) on that inauspicious list by close of business Sunday.
TONIGHT:
Kyle Gibson v. Danny Duffey.
On the broadcast last night, Bert suggested Gibson needs a good outing to get his ERA below 5, as if there's some psychological benefit to having a high-4's ERA v. anything above 5. Yeah .... okay.

September 28, 2016: Vacation from What?
I have a week off starting Sunday. Yesterday was so slow, there were times I forgot I was at work anyway.
