Loading... Cubs are back to being lowly, right? Lovable losers again? How'd they pull that off so quickly after winning the World Series? Well, good for them.
Drew Smyly goes against Sonny Gray, who is my daughter's favorite ballplayer (her nickname is "Sunny" so... 6 year olds aren't complicated).
These guys started off as a pretty big standard (and in my opinion kind of mediocre) crescendocore post-rock band. Then they started adding synths and electronica elements to the mix.
This is probably my favorite song by them, though the work they did on the No Man's Sky soundtrack was also excellent. I love they way this builds and builds and builds without ever really paying it off with a big finale.

Play ball!
I'm a little surprised that I haven't shared this before.
Mongolian throat singing + mouth harp + RAWK MUSIC = Music that seems like it would be a lot of fun to watch live.

Twins starters are tied with the Mariners for first in fWAR, 5.2. The Rays are third at 4.3. The relievers unfortunately rank 17th. More unfortunately, the batters are way down at 21st. Correa is a big part of that but Miranda has been worse. The success of the starters means it has been nice to know the team will be in the game until late each time. Sure, I also know those 2-0 games very likely could end up at 2-0 or 2-1 but it's nicer than knowing last season it will not stay at only two runs given up.
I'd heard this one in a million different things, but it wasn't until this past winter that I'd actually learned what it was, thanks to Newbish's music class at school. This is a good version of the song which gets bonus points for using a glass armonica, as was intended.

Even with elite hitters such as Manny Machado, Juan Soto, and Fernando Tatis, Jr., the Padres have been about as ass-batty as the Twins, with near league lows in average and runs scored.
Extremely tall Iowa native Michael Wacha on the mound for the Padres. He was very good last year for Red Sox against the Twins so we will see if that success continues. Louie Varland has pitched ok with no decisions since being called up so it would be nice to seem him get settled and pitch a good game.
Thing I Learned Today: Nelson Cruz plays for the Padres.
Game time 6:40 with decent temps and a slight chance for rain.
Did anyone realize that this band was still kicking? Just me? Ah... well, they're not anymore. They always had a little more depth to them than they were maybe given credit for if you only knew them from songs like "Fat Lip".
I haven't listened to much of their music in quite a while, but I enjoyed their album Chuck quite a bit back in the day. 27 years is a good run.

That's not an insult, "Check Your Head" era Beastie Boys were awesome, and so is this.
