A summary of the Twins' 2016 season, in Tamarian:
Kira at Bashi. Gemini; Uzani, his army when the grass grows. The beast at Tanagra. Kadir beneath Mo Moteh, Kiteo his eyes closed. Zima and Bakor. Zinda, his face black, his eyes red. Shaka, when the walls fell. Darmok on the ocean - Kiazi's children, their faces wet. Sokath, his eyes open. Kailash, when it rises. Darmok and Jalad on the ocean.
Play ball!
...of an awful baseball season. Let's put this mess to bed, boys. Yeesh.
Eh, why not?

The penultimate game. Because I don't use the word "penultimate" often enough.
Did you know that the date of October 1st is slightly more likely to fall on a Monday, Thursday or Saturday (58 in 400 years each) than on Tuesday or Wednesday (57), and slightly less likely to occur on a Friday or Sunday (56)?

Jimmie Reese played in the majors only briefly, but was a coach in the majors or minors for most of his life. He was Babe Ruth's roommate for a short period, and uttered the famous line that in reality, he roomed with Babe Ruth's suitcase. He is also remembered for his skill with a fungo bat, to the extent that he would sometimes pitch batting practice with it.
We would also like to wish Beau a very happy birthday.
October already? Yeesh.
