  1. I might go to my first Twins game of the season tonight. Thinking I'll just head downtown and see what I can get on StubHub last minute.

  2. We've had so much rain and my back yard gets so little sun that I have a crop of mushrooms growing back there. I wonder if any of them are edible. Or psychoactive.

    1. I have a sandy hill in my backyard that typically is difficult to keep green. No issues this year at all. I actually have not turned on my irrigation yet. In terms of mushrooms, a local forage in my area is texting me every 3-4 days as he has a ton of product to peddle this year.

  3. I got a wave from Kenta Maeda yesterday. I was working section 131 next to the bullpen and he had just come out to do some stretching as I was walking down the stairs. He looked up and saw me, I waved, he waved back and it was cool. Closer to game time he and Ober were both warming up side by side in the pen. Ober has to be a foot taller than Kenta so it was a fairly amusing visual.

  4. What's wrong in this blurb from MLB?

    10 -- José Miranda, Cardinals: July 3-5, 2024
    Miranda was already in the midst of a career year before his streak began, entering play on July 3 with career-high values in batting average (.296) and OPS (.821), among other stats. But his run in early July took things to another level. He singled in his final at-bat of a loss to the Tigers on July 3, and then went 5-for-5 and 4-for-4 in his next two games (one against Detroit, one against Houston). As of the conclusion of play on Friday night, his streak is still active.
