1. AFL report:

   Surprise 11, Scottsdale 2.

   Matt Wallner was 1-for-3 with a home run (his second), a walk, and two runs. He is batting ,265.
   Kody Funderburk pitched three innings, giving up four runs on six hits and a walk and striking out four. His ERA is 10.29.
   Evan Sisk pitched one inning, giving up two runs on two hits and two walks and striking out none. His ERA is 18.00.

2. I literally cannot vote. I would have picked any other team in MLB other than these two.

   1. well, neither are the Yankees, so I'm in

      1. I voted for the Eddie Rosarios over the Jake Odorizzis.

      2. I'd swallow hard and vote the Yankees over the Barves.

         1. I guess I'm just wired different in this regard than most of the WGOM.

            I don't love the Yankees, but I sure appreciate them. Baseball history and legend and a lot of the fun stuff is all tied up there. I'd be happy to pick them over either the Braves (a team I don't like, but don't hate) or the Astros (cheaters, hate 'em, deservedly so.).

            1. I appreciate the Yankees legacy but it started to sour for me with the rise of the Evil Empire after the turn of the millennium.

               1. It's the entitlement, and the Cap'n worship.

3. Nelson Cruz wins the Roberto Clemente award.

4. I was thinking it might be fun to do a series of polls over the off-season to devise a ranking the Nation’s favorite current Twins players & prospects. Anyone interest in that?

   1. as long as there would be some bio information on the prospects, I'd be interested. Otherwise, I'd just be dart-boarding. (and even then)

   2. Apropos of above, I'd like to see a head-to-head to determine how teams rank by WGOM Citizens

5. Just wanted to say that the USWNT game last night was a wonderful experience and a great way to introduce ourselves to the field. So much fun.

6. I voted for Houston because I want Dusty Baker to get a ring.

   But really I just want good (and not 4 hour long) baseball games.

7. Easy vote for the Braves, who I genuinely like a lot. I sure do wish the chop would go away, but apparently Manfred has no effs to give.

   1. One team changing its name per decade is fast enough.

8. The Wolves just beat the Bucks in Milwaukee! KAT pulled a bit of a Bert after the game, telling Marney Gellner that he’s playing “with fuckin’ passion.”

9. AMR hasn't been seen 'round these parts for a while, but if ever there was bait...

   1. Our long national nightmare is over

      1. Green Apple is being egregiously and unfairly maligned.

         1. I mean, it's not that bad. But it's no lime.
