Game, the penultimate: twins @ royals
Well, this season didn't quite go the way we planned.
I figured that this was a 95 win team, and we're two games from an assured last place finish and most likely a number 8 draft pick in 2022. Disappointing.
There have been plenty of glimmers of hope for the future -- Buxton finally looking like a genuine superstar chief among them, but let's not try to put any perfume on this stinker. Not paying extra this spring for a TV plan that included any Twins games looks like one my best financial decisions ever at this point.
Here to close the door just a little bit further is Griffin Jax. There have been reasons to believe in certain starters this year, but I'm not sold on Jax. Who knows, though? Maybe tonight is the start of a new and improved era of Jax domination!
Well, hell. I'm fired up now. Let's do this, Griffin!

Tom Waits – The Heart Of Saturday Night
This has kind of been light-hearted theme week, but this song, and the album that uses its title, is solid.
Okay, it looks like the hitman played this way back when. I'mma give him credit and then play it again anyway*.
*haha, there's a tag for this!
