Game 9 — Astros at Twins
Game two against the Astros and their murderer's row of pitchers. Dallas Keuchel has been decent this year with a 3.27 ERA and 0-1 record. He in fact responsible for half of Houston's losses this year. Jake Odorizzi on the mound for the Twins, and looking to add to his stellar opening day outing.
Game at 7:10. Will be a little warmer, but not much. Would be nice to get some hot bats to warm up the crowd.
Minor Details: Games of April 9
The Red Wings finally get to play! Early runs back a fine game by Kohl Stewart for the Lookouts. Jimmy Kerrigan's two-run homer is the difference for the Miracle. Ben Rortvedt's two-run single gives the Kernels the lead to stay.
April 10, 2018: Mud Run
I'm not really bothered by the late cold and snows, but I've been jogging in mud for about 2 months now and really wouldn't mind a good firm, dirt path, please.

The Decemberists – Severed
The Decemberists jump on the 80sesque bandwagon for their newest album. I'm guessing it's inescapable on the Current.
Game 10: Cosmonauts @ Gemini
Cold? Shoulda put a roof on it.
Minor Details: Games of April 8
Very little offense across the board. The Red Wings still just want to get a game in.
April 9, 2018: Key Fob
Whoops, that was supposed to say "kayfabe". I heard there was some wrasslin' going on yesterday.
