All good things must come to an end, and so must this season of Twins disappointments. But that's okay. You can't win 'em all. We'll get 'em next year. Since I'm working today and can't watch, I hope it doesn't turn out to be Joe Mauer's last game, because I'd hate to miss that. I'd like to offer a tip of the cap to eschapp for the game tickets Friday night. The Mrs. and I had a great time. Lots of early runs and layering were the keys. The Twins start Zack Littell today, Dylan Covey goes for the White Sox. I can't believe this is the last time I'll say it for six months or so, but... Play ball!

Jefferson Starship – Count on Me
Marty Balin, one of the founders of Jefferson Airplane and Jefferson Starship, passed away last week.
1978
Apparently this was recorded at Grace Slick and Paul Kantner's SF home, the Seacliff. I would have like to have attended at least one party there.

Gabby Street was a light-hitting catcher who played in parts of eight major leagues seasons, mostly for the Washington Senators. He was Walter Johnson's primary catcher. He later did some managing and broadcasting. He is best remembered as the first man to catch a baseball dropped from the top of the Washington Monument.
September 30, 2018: No. 1⃣
It would be just like Joe to keep things quiet just so he could forego the Goodbye Tour. I hope he comes back for one more year, but I wouldn't blame him if he doesn't.
Game 161: white Sox @ twins
I believe that this is the end for Joe Mauer's time as a major league ball player.

Friday Music Day 2018/09/28: Summer Tunez
I think we can all agree that summer is pretty much done no matter how you look at it. Now that it's over, what would you say was the Song Of The Summer™? Or, at least, what was your song/album/bird call of the summer?
And drop some lists too.
