June 21, 2017: Kittens are Ridiculous
The gray one, Samushu, is warming up to me (but only me). Corporal Fuzzington is still pretty terrified of all of us, but will at least look in my direction without bolting for a hiding place.
Game 68 — Pale Hose v. Twins
We all saw it coming didn't we? Twins playing above their heads and the Clevelanders scuffling. Regression to the mean was inevitable, especially given the pitching staff the Twins had planned.
But nothing fixes what ails you than a 3 game stint against the lowly White Sox. Let's hope the Twins keep Hawk quiet for innings at a time as Santana gets back on track. Beautiful night for a 7:10p game.
