I know this might not be a popular opinion around here, but I'm willing to be a contrarian. This season has started better than 2016 did.

Father Knows Best: Nightmare at 20,000 Feet
The terrible twos have come a few months early!
Now, normally, this is actually not that bad a thing. As long as he's happy and content, watching him run around like a hellion and play toys and body slam his giant plush BB-8 is actually a joy to behold.
I'm just wondering how well that energy is going to work when we have to contain it for three hours on a plane.

Friday Music Day: Year End Spectacular!
2016 was a weird year (well....duh).
Personally, I felt my tastes solidify quite a bit. I listened to less new music than ever before for a variety of reasons, and what I did listen to had a WAY lower retention than in years past.
Still, I did listen to a lot of stuff I enjoyed. You'll find a smattering after the jump (my actual top 20 list I'll just put a a reply). Feel free to post stuff you liked this year, in list form or not, doesn't matter.

*sigh*
I'm choosing an 18 minute song that takes about 4 minutes to get going at all, all of which ensures that pretty much no one is going to watch or rate this.
The reason why I did this is two-fold.

Video Game Post: Bite-sized Thrills
I don't have a whole lot of time to play video games anymore.
Okay, so that's not entirely true.
Game 149: twins @ mestball
Well, it's official. Our favored team needs to play better than .500 the rest of the way out to avoid 100 losses. I don't feel that it's particularly doable, but hope springs eternal and all that.
Today, the twins take on the mestball. Our only decent starter goes up against a rookie who had a 4.28 ERA in the minors. My hopes for this one are modest - Brian Dozier hits three home runs, and Mauer hits a walkoff grand slam to cap off Santana's 13k no hit shutout.
Game 147: twins @ tigers
Welcome back, Mike Pelf...oh. Bye, then!
Game 141: clevelanders @ twins
Joe has already launched a home run. Duffy has already gone an inning without giving up a run. I'm willing to call this game a win, either way.
Game Log: Royals @ Twins
Brian Dozier got another leadoff home run because that's just what he does.
Let's hope Berrios takes a page of of Buxton's White Sox playbook.
Game: White Sox @ Twins
The end is near. Let us treasure baseball - even bad baseball - while there is still baseball to treasure. Winter will be here soon enough.
Shields vs. Santiago doesn't sound particularly promising, but nothing that doesn't involve Santana does anymore.
Go Twins!
