Was that the best single night of regular season baseball ever? I love that even Pavano and the Twins got into the act.

At last, the Twins' season comes to a close. I'm so glad there were interesting races here at the end to deaden the pain somewhat.

But a win ain't one of 'em.

There's baseball worth watching, although none of it involves our favorite team.

...or you'll miss the Race to the Bottom. I thought the 1993-2000 Twins were terrible, horrible, unwatchable. This team has more losses than any of them, and four games left.

It was a nice winning streak while it lasted.

Not adding to the Race to the Bottom was weird. I think it was the first instance of leaving it be since I put it up.

Today, Skim turns 7. Here's hoping that it was specifically the dolphin Pillow Pet that she wanted.

I'm going to Chase Field tonight today. Seeing a good team in a playoff atmosphere seems like something I've never done at this point.
