Elton John – Crocodile Rock

Video

Welcome to nibbish week! This was supposed to happen a couple of weeks ago, but it didn't! Now it will!

This is the three year old's favorite song. It's this, "50 Ways to Leave Your Lover", and "Crab Rave" (and lots and lots of the Bluey soundtrack). I've heard of things like Cocomelon, and....one can do worse than Elton John.

It was either this or the one by the 40% Radiohead band, and while I probably like the other song just a LITTLE more, I actually got to see this song live when The National came to town a few months ago. Continue reading The National – Space Invader →

2023 Twins Game Logs

Game 154: Twins vs Hangovers

13 Comments

Congrats to the 2023 Twins. We all believed in you the whole time! Definitely there were none of us despairing and thinking that the team should be sellers after a horrible series in Baltimore. No, sir.

Erm.

Back in the day, this would've been the last game of the regular season. We've still got a few left to go, though. With no reasonable shot at the second seed, I'm mostly rooting for the Mariners to make the playoffs and for some of the fun individual milestones around the league (holy cow, Acuña).

Today, everybody on the hometown team just needs to take an aspirin, chug their electrolyte of choice, and see if they can finish the season on this hot streak that they've been on.

Game 124: pirates @ twins

Mitch Keller takes on Sonny Gray.

Gray has started 5 games since he resolved to stop being the world's most annoying pitcher, and the results have been very good: 31 innings, 34 Ks, 9 BBs. 2.61 ERA, 2.39 FIP. Here's hoping he can keep it up.

Keller, for his part, pitched pretty well in his last start, but he's been getting lit up over the last month or so to the tune of a 7.71 ERA over his last six starts.

Let's keep it going.

It's mowing day!

There's nothing like having the game on while mowing for a few hours. The lady of the house is planting the new rose bush, and the kids are golfing around the yard (or, in the case of the one year old, poking the club at the ball and giggling if he happens to make contact). The only thing today needs is some baseball on the radio.....and a good result to that baseball.

Enter Pablo Lopez.

As good as the rotation has been through the first half (and they've arguably been the best in the game), I'd give Lopez the slight edge as the best of them all. I'm going to go out on a limb and say that he pitches back to back shutouts. No one has done that since 1884, so that would be fun.

Either way, I'll be listening, first on the mower, then on the deck looking out over my yard, basking in a beautiful day and a Twins win.
