The “Cup of Coffee” is the daily post where the Citizens are free to chat about whatever they want. Topics that prove sufficiently popular often migrate to their own, dedicated post.
September 27, 2017: Clinching Day
Yes, I'm jinxing everything by announcing it aloud. I can't help myself.
September 26, 2017: The End.
Could be today is the end of meaningful September games for the Twins. If you told me at the start of the season, or probably even in June, that meaningful games would last this long, I would have happily taken it.
September 25, 2017: Sweeps
A great cure for, uh, getting swept.
September 24, 2017: Even Closer
Twins win; Angels and Rangers lose. Waiting to attend a game at the next homestand is starting to look like a mistake, as the Twins could clinch before then.
September 23, 2017: Ideal Day
Twins win while the three closest pursuers lose. I thought this team was going to fade for a long while, but they're nearly there.
September 22, 2017: Teenager
Today is the first day of many where I will have a teenaged daughter. Fun?
September 21, 2017: Last Chance
If anything is left on your summer to-do list, now would be the time to get it done.
September 20, 2017: Funky
I saw Moya pitch for the first time last night. I dig it. Especially that weird twitching right before he goes into the wind-up.
I prefer the Twins to end their season by...
- a close loss to the Yankees in the wildcard game. (71%, 12 Votes)
- a blowout loss to the Yankees in the wildcard game. (18%, 3 Votes)
- missing the wildcard game. (12%, 2 Votes)
Total Voters: 17
September 19, 2017: Shots
I did a couple of shots last night for the first time in a while. I'll let you know how that went, since I'm writing this just minutes afterward.
Online celebration combined with real-life stresses. A dangerous cocktail, this.
