Empty Wrigley at night seems weirder than other empty stadia.
Also weird to have a full series of only night games at Wrigley.
Today is a night game?
yes. ESPN game.
so. many. sports.
Someone better change the sidebar here or players will start showing up way early
Red Sox up 2-0.
Twins finish 6-0 need Yankees to lose 2 of last 8. Twins finish 5-1 need Yankees to lose 3.
Sox up 6-0
These Sawks are a disaster. I’m not comfortable yet.
Agreed. But nice to have an early lead.
But a unexpected Yankee loss followed by an unexpected Twins win tonight would be a huge step towards hosting the first round in the playoffs rather than heading to Yankee stadium.
The Hosers just walked the bases full of Reds, too.
Twins have to finish 6-0 and have Sox go 3-5 to win Division.
I do however like the Twins odds to beat either the White Sox or Tampa Bay in the ALDS on a neutral field if we can beat the Yankees in the first round.
They’ve got Cleveland and the Cubs the rest of the way (so you’re saying there’s a chance!...)
I would not be surprised to see the 3 game lead shrink. Even to see them tied. Obviously the Twins lose the tiebreaker there, but... I could see it getting closer. I hope.
Also, FWIW, I don't buy the Yankee/Twins thing Geoff talks about, but I do buy the idea that the Yankees are the best team in the AL this year, and have just had a ton of injuries, so are in the middle of the pack. So yeah, I don't want to face them, but because I think they're the best, not because of the history.
Putting the "history" and "losing streak" aside - the difference in win projection if the Twins host a best 3 series against anyone - let alone the Yankees - vs being on the road for all 3 games is huge.
Seen and agreed.
Today’s sandwich was a parkway poboy. Shrimps, lettuce, mayo, hot sauce and a side of fries. Almost magical, almost made me forget how shitty 2020 has been. Almost.
They’re now offering global shipping of roast beef poboys.... if I liked you more doc I’d send you an early holiday present. /wink.
That is dinner tonight. This is GREAT stuff. Some of the closest Korean BBQ I've found here in the US to what I had in Korea.
Easy to cook - just fire up the rice cooker and then throw that package along with some chopped up mushroom, carrot, bell pepper, carrot and broccoli and the family is fed.
Is that a Costco product? If so we’ve made it a couple times over the covids and had great results. A little salty, but overall the closest thing to what our Korean friends would cook for us in grad school.
Yes - Costco product.
I haven't noticed it being over salty - but I would recommend adding some additional vegetables (celery, carrot, bell pepper, mushroom) or even pineapple to the prepacked meat and onion to offset the salt.
Arrangements could be made, meat. 🤔😅
Just email me your credit card info and I’ll take care of the rest.

The Reds scored five runs in the fourth inning today on one hit. Six walks and a single. There was also a hit batsman, but it didn't figure in the scoring.
They’re currently up 7-2 while trailing 5-3 in hits.

Are we allowed to blame Dusty for JV's TJ?
