1. I turned on the radio last night just before Castro kicked off the scoring in the 2nd. I take full credit for the 2nd, 3rd, and 4th innings (turned it off then)

2. Hopefully this time they don't go 3-5 in the next eight games.

3. How well do you know your Twins?™

   The pitching staff now sports three double-digit winners (Big Erv 15, Jose 12, Gibby 10?!) -- who of the 2.87x10⁶ other pitchers this season has the next highest total?

   Taylor Rogers -- 6 19 Twins have at least one win in 2017

   1. I didn't even know he was a pitcher

      1. This guy here is dead.

   2. I wouldn't have gotten that even with five guesses.

4. For some reason (probably because I enjoy habitual rituals), the product featured in the header image appeals to both the coffee drinker & ex-tobacco user in me. Not sure how I feel about that.

5. Otani's coming to the US!

   ...if MLB let's him.

   1. Attention, admin! Apostrophe removal requested in the penultimate word of comment 296811.

      1. damn you and your pedantation!

         1. *Damn

6. I was at the game last night. We left after the 7th inning (school night!). As I was leaving, I heard, hey Stick! I turned around and it was the Philosopher. Neat!

   1. I see this was covered already.

      1. You never know with news these days. Always need to have confirmation from multiple sources across the spectrum.

      2. did he recognize you by the bathrobe and slippers? the white russian in hand?

         1. Probably from pictures of my lovely family on the facebook.

            1. It was exactly that. I thought it might be you, but seeing them confirmed it.

7. Cleveland wins number twenty-one, defeating the Tigers 5-3.

   1. Since there's been no catching them for weeks, I was kind of hoping they'd break the record. But now this abomination must end.

      1. Perhaps. Or would you rather an unfathomable streak continue until their Divisional Round playoff losses?

         1. I feel like a crushing divisional round defeat after winning forty in a row would be just what a team proudly throwing that logo around deserves.

8. Frank Vincent (yeah, you know him) has passed away at 78.

9. Hey HJ, I have a note that I was on the hook for a FKB post in September. Is that correct? If so, I will get one up in the next week or so, but don't want to jump the gun.

   1. Currently scheduled for the 21st, but that's pretty arbitrary. Toss it up whenever you'd like.

      Speaking of, we need 3 more volunteers to fill out Oct-Dec 2017. Any takers?

      OCT:
      NOV:
      DEC:

      1. I'll take one, doesn't matter which month.

10. Bob Dylan & His Band, with special guest Mavis Staples

    1. Thanks for this. I've been tasked with getting tix for an old friend.

       I feel bad I didn't post today's pre-sale for Wilco. There is another one Thursday. I can tack down code if anyone is interested.

       1. Saw BDAHB at New Britain Stadium in a fierce rainstorm. No words from Dylan, just mesmerizing, sloppy-esque singing.

11. Joe Mauer's career rWAR is now within 0.3 of the average catcher in the Hall of Fame. His 7-year peak is better than the average HOFer.

    1. And that is why I firmly believe he is worthy now, even if he didn't play another game.

       1. How many pussy singles hitters does the Hall need?

          1. Got enough already, which is why Pete Rose isn't in.

             1. None of his were pussy singles. All his were Hustle singles. Hell, most of his walks were Hustle walks.

12. No game log for a Contendah? Listening to the SD sqwaukers and they are abysmal.

    1. This was my bad. Per usual, wattsy got my back.
