  1. Looks like the soundbar attached to my PC died amongst the power problems I had yesterday. I think I know what to ask for for Father's Day.

    If you haven't checked it out, take a look at the first pitch before yesterday's White Sox game.

  2. Honestly, I'm okay with the Twins flying under the radar a little bit. It's when all the popular folks start picking them to win that they tend to choke (stupid 2006). I love that they have the best record in baseball right now. Let the big names go on and on about the Yankees and the Dodgers. What matters to me is if they can get to the end.

      1. It's not like the Twins have been playing a ton of great teams, but how Yankees is it that they would play over half their games with the Orioles while everyone is on the DL? Their schedule has been tissue soft so far. But hey, I'd prefer they win the division so the Twins wouldn't have to play them until the ALCS when they lock up the #1 seed.

        1. The Yankees have a lot of guys on the DL, but as Cory Provus pointed out when the Twins were playing them, it's not like they're winning with a bunch of replacement-level players. Their substitutes are better than the regulars on some teams. When you're the Yankees, you can do that.

          1. They figured out that depth is possibly the most important thing in roster construction these days.

            Thankfully, the Indians did not figure that out in time.

            1. They not only figured it out, they also were willing to spend the money to do something about it.

  3. I thought the same thing about the mlb.com image when I stopped over just now. It just. Doesn't. Matter. How good the Twins are. I've learned to love it.

  4. Got confirmation yesterday that Philosofette will have a hysterectomy next Tuesday. I think I'm more worried about it than she is. Then again, I've not been suffering the ill effects that are being address here, whereas she's been dealing with them for a while. Prayers appreciated.

    1. Wishing a successful and uneventful surgery. Just think after recovery, no more checking the calendar if you and the Philosofette want to have some "personal time."

      1. This is admittedly true enough. That said, we both always kind of thought a fifth child might make its way into the family at some point...

    2. Good luck to you all. Here's hoping for a cure to the previous ill effects, without too rough a recovery.

  5. Episode 1381 this week from Effectively Wild is almost entirely about the Twins. It's fun.
