Three days off starting Saturday. I haven’t done that without illness in a few months.

There’s still plenty of time to come down with something today.
Last night the three of us thumbed our noses at MODOT's weather-related travel warning and met some neighbors at the nearby microbrewery for their free Bingo Night, thinking the light crowd might improve chances of winning. The MC was constantly shaking his head at the couple dozen of us that showed up, and we all had a pretty fun time. Mrs. Runner won twice, both a free beer; the first was a tasty hard cider, the second a not so tasty porter with coffee. The price was right so we can't complain. One of the guys at our table panicked and yelled "WIN" instead of bingo, so for the rest of the night everyone used a different response -- "Uno!" "Goooooooal!" "You sunk my battleship!" -- to cheers, and for some reason everyone cheered and clinked glasses when O69 was called. One of the other tables had a birthday and they shared cake with everyone. And there was only a light ice on the road in places, so the trip home took four minutes instead of three.
(And Twayn, next time you're down here we have a place you'll have to visit)
Sounds like the Twins have avoided arbitration with Escobar, Adrianza, Pressly and May.
I'd forgotten that Escobar stroked that many dongers last year.
Did you get that information telepathically, or...?
I saw the Pressly bit via twitter but not the rest.
Adrianza, May, and Pressly in MLBTR today. Adrianza agreed to $1 million, May to $650,000, and Pressly at $1.6 million. Escobar was in MLBTR yesterday. He agreed to $4.85 million; it's his final year of arbitration.

Grossman also signed. Only Gibson unsigned. Will exchange numbers.
If you’re twiddling your thumbs waiting for teams to start signing free agents, Marc Normandin’s The Past, Present, and Future of MLB Collusion is worth your time.
Blue Jays, Josh Donaldson avoid arbitration with 1yr/$23M contract.
good work if you can get it
He should thank the Twins staff for boosting that number by about $2 million
Shoot, Joe's a no-doubter if he got to face our staff during his career
I looked it up: he would have missed facing Rick Reed by just 1 season.
Another convincing win for the Wolves.
Porzingas looked pretty plain compared to KAT
