2022 Game 99: Twins at Padres

17 Comments

I'm starting to feel like May and June were just a mirage and even if this Twins team makes the playoffs it will just be setting up another one and done disappointment. But I'm gloomy and melancholy like that sometimes. I can't say I'm enthused to stay up late and watch a game that starts so close to bedtime, so I'll probably be skipping this one. I probably won't be alone.

With a 7-3 record and a 2.89 ERA and 73 strikeouts, young Joe Ryan takes the mound for the Twins tonight. He's opposed by southpaw Blake Snell (2-5, 4.75 ERA, 71 K). So there you go.

Play ball!

2022 Game 79: Twins at Guardians

The baseball gods must have had a good laugh last night.  Yeah, real f***ing funny, guys. Yuck it up, you must be so proud of yourselves.

Today the Twins try to shake off the worst loss of the season in a matinee that pits Chris Archer against Shane Bieber. Despite a couple of disappointing losses, and a chance for another before this 5-game set wraps up, the Twins will leave Cleveland with the division lead. And hopefully they can embiggen it today.

Play ball!

Tuba Skinny – Jubilee Stomp

Video 1 Comment

We're walking down the street in the French Quarter looking for some blues and a kid walks up and says, "Mister, I bet you ten dollars I can tell you where you got them shoes." I knew there was a catch but I couldn't see it, so I bet him five dollars. "You got them shoes on your feet," he says. My wife's laugh was worth every penny. It's Friday night, go out and find some music and maybe have a good laugh.

Elton John – Captain Fantastic and the Brown Dirt Cowboy

Video

Sir Reginald and Bernie wrote a lot of good songs together. This is one of my favorites, thanks to my sister who played the album over and over and over and over ad infinitum. We got to see Elton back around the turn of the century/millennium when he was broke and touring solo sans band to pay off his debts. My sister has seen him half a dozen times or so.

Dickey Betts and Great Southern – Blue Skies

Video

I saw Dickey Betts and Great Southern play at Colorado Sun Day 2 in old Mile High Stadium on June 26, 1977, damn near 55 years ago.  Out of the seven acts that played that day, I'd rank them tied for second with Marshall Tucker, a short distance behind Lynyrd Skynyrd. It was a hell of a show.
