Summer Mix 2023

I had this down to two hours of songs for quite awhile, but wasn't sure where to go with it. I like to keep things around 90 minutes if possible. I wasn't sure what to change nor the order it should be in. Then, one night, like a good Connections puzzle, everything suddenly became clear.

As usual, every year, I say I really like how the mix turned out. And I'll say it again! I really like how the mix turned out!

Anyway, it's up on the podcast feed. If anyone wants a full downloadable copy, please let me know. Great job, gang.

2023 Game 148: Twins at White Sox – Trending Up

Listening to the radio broadcast last night, Gladden made it perfectly clear that this was a White Sox team that would happily give the game away if the other team stayed close. Sure enough, a small lead turned into a laughable lead late. Will this trend repeat itself tonight? Hopefully!

Bailey Ober goes against the 1-8 Jesse Scholtens. It seems like usually the assbats come out against guys like Scholtens, so hopefully that is a trend that isn't repeated.

2023 Game 147: Twins at Bitch Sox

If only there were some way for me to know when it's Thursday...

This is not a game log. It is a reasonable facsimile of a game log thrown together at the last minute when I realized it was not an off day. But it is here.

Twins haven't been winning enough lately, but neither has anyone else in the AL Central so the magic number keeps dropping. Maeda vs. Urena (how do you make an enyay in WordPress?) on the mound.

Play ball!

2023 Game 146: Tampa Bay Rays at Minnesota Twins

Taj Bradley
vs
Dallas Keuchel

Another Wednesday, another day game.

Another surprisingly decent start by Keuchel against the Mets. Now he's facing an actually good team. This is also the final game the Twins have against a good team this season. Yes, it's only game 146. Next up is a road trip against the White Sox and Reds (75-71 right now). After that it's a gentle stretch into the postseason with the Angels and Athletics visiting before the final series in Denver.
