Did the Twins lose painfully yesterday? Yes.
Did Cleveland also lose? Yes.
Are the Twins playing a middling-or-worse team this weekend? Yes.
Are the Indians also playing a middling-or-worse team this weekend? Yes.
Are there other questions I can ask, and then answer in the affirmative? Yes.
Am I going to do so? Yes.
Do the Twins still have a 3-game lead on the Indians? Yes.
Are they probably going to keep that lead through the weekend? Yes.
Do the Yankees have a TV network? Yes.
Has this been a fun season so far? Yes.
I guess what I'm trying to say here is that there's no real reason to be a nay-sayer. The Twins get a chance to play the Royals, at home, and hopefully they can make hay out of it. They can be hay-sayers, if you will.
Alright, I'm clearly sleep deprived or something. Sparkman vs. Perez tonight, and here's hoping we enjoy this weekend of baseball!
Tonight I’ll be seeing Willie Nelson at Target Center. This is a bucket list show for me as I have never seen the Red Headed Stranger. Given that Willie is 86-1/2 years old, it very much could be the last chance I’ll have too.
Now I know he relies pretty heavily on his family at these shows but who cares, it’s Willie Freakin’ Nelson.
So does anyone have any bucket list artists they want to see? After tonight it will be Van Morrison, Patty Griffin, and Radiohead for me.
Who’s on your bucket list. Also drop ‘em if you got ‘em.
I know his debut went less than stellar, but still, you should meet Sam Dyson's cat Snuckles.
Sometimes we all need a little real love...baby

Day game alert!
Pineda
vs
Yamamota
Cleveland hosts Astros in their series finale. Salazar makes his season debut against Cole so this is good time to increase the division lead.
Okay, one more poll. Overall, and looking across the league and not just at the Twins in a vacuum:
Are you satisfied with the Twins moves before the deadline?

Okay, I was looking for new music from Florist's new album and I couldn't really find anything, but I did find a song called "Florist", so, you know, half baked.
