The Darcys – Hunting
Another band I was surprised I hadn't played before. I think I saw these guys at the Entry opening for Ramona Falls once.
Remind me in six months and I'll play something from their subsequent semi-reinvention as a electro-rock duo after the other two members left.

Game 144: Padres at Twins
Nineteen games. Over 88 percent of the season is complete and the Twins still in the driver seat for a one game playoff against the Yankees. Since the Twins have hit this “easy” part of the schedule, they’ve kind of scuffled. Lose a couple here, win three in a row there. The other teams in wildcard contention are scuffling too and it seems that LAAAAAA is the only team really interested in playing the spoiler to what was considered unthinkable five months ago: The Twins could be a playoff team.
Two game series against the woeful San Diego Padres. Gibby on the mound and he’s been pretty decent of late, including a 3-0 record and a nice 1.69 ERA. Travis Wood on the mound for the Padres. He came over from the Royals so there is some familiarity there. Wood hasn’t had a lot of luck against the Twins so let’s hope this is the start of a nice winning streak. Game at 7:10p. Going to be gorgeous evening… just what you want in September: Meaningful baseball with fantastic weather in a beautiful ball park.

September 12, 2017: Shuffling
Different scheduling this week means that I'm off a second day in a row with nobody else home and nothing to do. Who wants to have a drink at noon?
