Twins Game 98: Angels at Twins
I don't see a game log, so here is one. Brent Rooker is finally up and will be the DH tonight. J. A. Happ is on the mound, which doesn't give me a lot of confidence, but he has pitched good games sometimes, so maybe he will tonight. It's baseball, and as Joaquin Andujar told us, youneverknow. Go Twins!

I think that holiday my friends and I made up is today. I should ask...
JULY 23, 2021: Draggin’
I was late on the video, FMD, and I'll just put on a cup while I'm at it.
I worked nights this week for the first time in a while. Wasn't as bad as I thought it was going to be. And I made a point of dropping my coffee habit while making that transition back and forth.
FRIDAY MUSIC DAY – WHAT’S YOUR JAM?
I'm going to link again to the dance video for today's WGOM Video. I just think these kids are so cool.
Do you have favorite dance music, either as performance, out in public or at a show, or just on your own at home. What gets you grooving?
And drop your lists. Thanks for a good week, everyone!
ONUKA – Vidlik
Another song I picked up this year watching dance routines. This one was a winner at the kids' nationals. These ladies are pretty amazing, especially as high-schoolers. The dance teacher who put this number together seems like something of a savant for choreography. All her stuff ends up doing really well and being fun to watch. Check out their performance, below. You can't hear me whooping among the crowd, but I was, believe me.

The World’s Greatest Online Magazine Presents The Half-Baked Podcast: 08.5: Quarter Baked
Okay, so the first half of this podcast is still in the shop. We talked about the Wild and their future in that part, and hopefully we can get that fixed up soon.
The second half, which did survive unfortunately, was all about the Twins. Oh, and we feature some songs from the Summer Mix (which is soooooo good).
