We’re in first. By a small chunk actually. It’s the Central, but whatever, let’s keep going with the schtick.

The Saints' winning streak stopped at one. Matt Canterino continues to pitch well. You can play a long game, even with the Manfred man.

Game 41 – Twins at Kansas City
We are participating in No Mow May this year, and I've got to say it's really fun to have an actual ecosystem in our yard. We've got a ton of different plants and flowers, lots of birds and insects, a very Bailey Ober-sized bunch of dandelions and a few spots where you can tell small critters shelter at night.
We've also had neighbors inquire if everything is OK and if we need help, but no one has called the HOA on us yet. I don't know if we will hold out to memorial day, but it's been a very interesting experiment.
Bailey Ober makes his triumphant return today to face the Royals. I've haven't been impressed with KC. They kind of look like a mess, but not a fun mess that's good for bees and small wildlife.

Carson McHone – Drugs
Thanks for having me this past week. It's been nice to be back for a bit. Hope ya'll enjoyed it.
Here is something to really knock your socks off. A real Sunday Morning downer. Probably couldn't play this one during the week, may have hit too hard.
