2020 Game Log 43: The Fightin’ Gardies at Minnesota Twins
Sorry, gang, Labor Dayin' it up over here so I don't have a lot of time for this. Obviously, I want the Twins to win today, but Plouffe(!) with a Dobnak beard would be pretty sweet.
If the Twins win less than 4 of 5 from the Tigers I will shave the @Dobnak_ into my facial hair.
If the Twins win 4 or more from the Tigers, @TalkinJake will shave the @EddieRosario09 lines into both of his eyebrows.

Hope you all are keeping it low and lazy!

2020 GAME 42: Tigers (+168) at Twins (-183) – Total 9.0
Before I get into the Twins - I have to tell everyone - 42 minutes. Front door to front door round trip to Costco for the bi-weekly shopping trip to feed 4 children (3 teenagers) took only 42 minutes.
Odds last Sunday:
- 35.3 win pace
- +700 AL Pennant (4th behind NYY, TB, OAK)
- +1400 World Series (5th LAD, NYY, TB, OAK)
Odds Today:
- 36.6 win pace
- +1000 AL Pennant (7th behind NYY, TB, OAK, CHW, HOU, CLE)
- +1800 World Series (11th - behind AL teams above plus LAD, SD, ATL, CHC)
Even after a 5-2 week and a 5 game winning streak - the Twins see their postseason odds at a nadir. I think the odds are bit lagging but it is concerning to see for the first time the Twins with longer odds than both Chicago and Cleveland.
Today - Rich Hill vs Casey Mize. For the second straight Sunday the Tigers put Mize on the Mound against the Twins who gave up 2 runs over 3 innings last Sunday as the Tigers completed a sweep of the Twins.
The Twins have gone under the total on every game this winning streak and have only gone over 3 out of 20 home games this season.
Take the Twins to win - and for the game to stay under.
September 6, 2020: Tinker, Twitter, Soldier, Spy
I have a small and humble following on the Tweeter. However, I was going through the list and I realized I have 5-6 accounts that have been following me for awhile but also have 0 tweets and few if any followers though they've been around for years. Should I be worried about that?

Harry Dunlop caught in the minors for fourteen years and was a coach for seventeen years. He caught the minor league no-hitter in which Ron Necciai struck out twenty-seven batters and the back-to-back minor league no-hitters of Bill Bell.
