Here's Diesel playing one of their hits. Well, some of them, anyway.

Loading... Daniel Palka makes a successful AAA debut. Randy Rosario starts both ends of a doubleheader (sort of). Niko Goodrum hits a homer for two different teams on the same day (sort of). Jose Berrios and Kohl Stewart make poor starts.

Between no tv, rain delay, and an incredible work schedule I have been absent of twins baseball since Sunday. I know by checking the Twitter machine that they have won some games lately. I think they are on a win streak (?)
I am take a five minute breather from work to post this.
best preview ever? probably
Enjoy the game.
Trucking along through our Summer Mix, here's a good foot tappin' track.

Actually it's pretty decent, although I'm shocked it didn't include Cheap Trick Live at Budokan. I would also add Built to Spill Live and of course Guided by Voices Live at the Wheelchair Races. Otis Redding Live on the Sunset Strip would be another. Oh and I would have gone with The Name of this Band is Talking Heads over Stop Making Sense, but that's just me.
What other great live albums do you swear by?

Just past the halfway point of the season (2nd half started on Monday).
Following the win against Oakland last night, this is the first time all year the Twins have won back-to-back series' and (courtesy of socal) only the second time they've managed to avoid losing multiple games in a row. I'll go out on a limb and say that there is very little chance for this team to climb back into contention, but a couple of bright spots:
-They don't hold the worst record in baseball (ATL is 28-57).
-Over his past 5 starts, Ervin Santana is 2-1, with a 2.76 ERA and 20 K's - 5 BB in 32.2 innings of work (including a complete game, 2-hit shutout last night against Oakland).
-After an atrocious offensive April & May, Brian Dozier has managed to pull himself up to a respectable .252/.336/.456 and leads the team with a 1.8 WAR.
-Over 44 games with the team, Robbie Grossman is batting .281/.420/.473 (and, though short of the req'd AB's, leads the team in OPS and OPS+) ... plus, an outfielder playing in the outfield!!!one111
Tonight, we'll see if young Mr. Duffey can build on his 8-Inning, 2 Hit, 1 Run performance in New York last week, and add another W to his team-leading 4 Wins.
For those interested (and out of market I presume) MLB.TV's free game of the day.
