Twins at Red Sox.
So long Ed Escobar. May you hit 100 doubles in the desert.
We are down to 1 Ed! now and that is sad.

I want to talk about "spacious" music. I don't know if there's a different or better word for it. I'm sure there is, and if anyone wants to share it, I'd be glad to have it. What I mean to describe is that type of music that sounds big, like it is properly heard bouncing off the walls of a giant cavern or played before a tremendous concert hall. It can be instrumental ("Also Spake Zarathustra") or it can have lyrics (Cloud Cult's "There's So Much Energy In Us"). It can be old, it can modern, and it can come from a fair number of genres (I don't think I've ever heard a "spacious" country or hip hop song, but there are a few that come close and I'd have to think on it more. Please direct me if you know of one).
There's something about playing these songs for me, usually at night, usually through headphones with settings that better capture that wide grandeur, that just scratches a particular itch. I freaking love it.
Anyway, I'd love a list of "Spacious" songs, other names for this type of thing, your thoughts, and random 10's if you've got 'em!
Due to personal time constraints, this is largely a reprint from last year which has only minimally been updated.
Another solid start by Gibson. It's been so nice to watch all the adversity that he's dealt with and how his persistence and stick-to-it-tive-ness has paid off. He is fast becoming one of my favorite Twins.
So should we trade him?
Boston is a good team vs. this is how we baseball ...
Anyone want to hazard a guess on the over/under this is the final Gibson start for the hometown 9?
At least we should see another half-dozen Mauer doubles off the Green Monster this weekend.
Fine.

Willians Astudillo goes deep in a loss. A good game for Sean Poppen in a loss. Tyler Wells has an excellent game in a win. Jose Miranda and Edwar Colina lead the Kernels to victory. Michael Helman has no problem handling the Appalachian League. Donny Breek leads the GCL Twins to a win. A big inning sinks the DSL Twins.
You know what's way worse than buying a new car? Buying a used one.
