The Twins helped make a successful Minnesota sports day yesterday (still pumped about that Wolves game, and go Frost!). Let's hope for another today.

Rings in the Sky: A Twins Cautionary Hymn
With apologies to Joe Hill.
Oh the Pohlads come out every year,
Tell Twins fans they've got something to cheer;
But when asked to shell out for their team
They won't tell you they sell a pipe dream:
(Chorus:)
Twins will win, bye and bye,
In that glorious land above the sky;
Shorthanded play, most everyday,
You'll get rings in the sky when you die.
(That’s a lie!)
A nepo baby holds the club's purse strings,
Dave St. Peter counts up their earnings,
Once they've raked your coin into the bank,
That's when they tell you the payroll has shrank.
(chorus)
The Twins needed a new TV deal,
Waves of greenbacks to steady the keel.
"Give your money to Bally," they say,
"They might televise a ballgame today."
(chorus)
There was some talent down on the farm,
Young Brooks Lee and a number of arms;
Big wheels fell off all season, you know:
Carlos, Paddack, Royce, Buxton, Max, and Joe.
(chorus)
Help was needed for several key roles,
To patch a roster with quite a few holes,
The front office was mostly clear-eyed:
Can't sign free agents — their hands were tied.
(chorus)
Private equity holds all the cards,
Socialized losses with private rewards,
Never trust their inherited wealth,
"Caveat emptor" for your mental health.
2023 ALDS Game 2
I may have had my fill of Minnesota sports this weekend, but once more into the breach, I guess.
September 25, 2023: Football Season?
We were productive this weekend so I recorded the Gophers and Vikings Football games to watch after the fact with Niblet. We did not, in fact, watch them back. We did, however, watch the Sunday Twins game (mostly live broadcast).
Linda Ronstadt – When Will I Be Loved
As a Minnesota sports fan, I wonder...
You Me At Six – The Swarm
I'm a big lacrosse fan. Definitely not just a bandwagon follower. I hear the Swarm are going to have a great team this year!

Pale Honey – Over Your Head
Our boys couldn't compete. Complete outplayed for about 176 minutes. Hopefully baseball will be better.

Did... did Elvis just give me the finger?
