1. Darn. St. Louis Cardinals eliminated from playoffs.

   1. Gonna love putting out the Twins flag here in the next couple days

   2. Somehow, they still sold out Busch during the playoffs.

   3. Breaks the heart

2. 

   Love this shot

   1. I dig that he didn't have time to put away his positioning card and carried it the entire way.

      1. No, he was trolling the bullpen and didn't have time to pocket his cellphone..

   2. Meh, he's just trying to divert attention away from his miserable 11.57 ERA.

3. Ever since I introduced the concept of a magic number to my kids, they've been looking forward to this day.

   This song was on our summer mix this year, so they know it well.

   1. "...three-ee-ee in the family..."

      Personally, Zero is my hero.

   2. I really like Ween's song from that album.

      1. Now that I’ve heard it, I do too.

         1. huh. i set that up at work, and i'm just noticing it's an a capella(/isolated vocal) version for some weird reason. doesn't look like the original is on YT at all.

            seriously, it's way better with the instruments.

            1. Now that I’ve heard that, I think less of the a cappella (which was good).

4. #BlueJays starter Yusei Kikuchi thinks he’ll be fine for his next start after he left the game with cramps. The biggest revelation was that he said it may have been caused by only getting 11 (!) hours of sleep last night instead of his usual 13 or 14 hours (!!)

   1. I'm going with "lost in translation" here.

      1. I'm not even sure how that would work? Gets home from the ballpark at 11 at best. Asleep by 12. Sleeps 14, hours, and it's 2 pm. Basically has no time for anything outside of work and sleep every single day.

         1. He's a starter -- he has nothing to do between starts #IgnorantFan

            1. I suppose maybe he just meant he tries to get 13 to 14 hours only on start days. That I could believe.

5. Correa out, Larnach up.

   1. For the best. Hopefully his heel will heal enough for the postseason.

      Hopefully Lewis also heals quickly.

6. We generally get our gas at Costco but we also use Holiday and the Cub Foods rewards. Hadn't used the latter in awhile so I was pleased to fill up the other day with a 30 cents/gallon discount.

   1. I always consult GasBuddy app, but usually it's the pumps at Walmart Neighborhood Market.

   2. Also, is petroleum speculation and its ongoing inflationary impact something the media is ever going to catch on to?

7. Our two main cars are electric, so I don't pay much attention to gas prices anymore. It looks like Costco is 10-60 cents cheaper than other places near us.

   I shop at Costco a ton, so that membership still gets plenty of use. And, I figured out at one point that just the Claritin knockoff we get at Costco (only $12 for 365 pills!) makes it worth it for us to have a membership even if we never got anything else there.

8. So if Cleveland loses today (they're down 2-4 to KC in the 5th) and lose again tomorrow against Baltimore, we would clinch the division on our off day. Pretty anticlimactic.

   1. Not as much fun as winning it on the field, but I'll still take it.

   2. The magic number for Detroit is also one at this point too. So Detroit would also have to lose either the game tonight against the Dodgers or tomorrow against the A's for the Twins to clinch.

   3. Royals got another run in the seventh and eighth to win 6-2.
