This is it… the Twins will dot the I and cross the T on the 2017 regular season at home with a 3-game series against the Detroit Tigers this weekend. The series won’t really matter much but it is nice that they can come home and play before loved ones before heading to the east coast for the WC game.

Kind of like when your son or daughter graduates from college, comes home for a few days before taking off to the big city to start his or her career. Everybody gathers around and tells them how proud they are of them, and they deservedly bask in the glory. Some call their friends later, and they go out and party until they throw up in the back of the Uber driver’s vehicle.

This weekend is the baseball equivalent of your college graduate sitting on your couch eating your cereal.

It’s nice when they come home triumphant.

I’m so proud of my Twins!

Here are some things to think about:

 

1. Rochester – In this city of 112,224 human beings and 679,000 Canadian geese, health care takes center stage with a rather large clinic dedicated to the treatment of injuries involving Mayonnaise. Each year 1.3 million patients come to Rochester because of these Mayonnaise injuries. Most of these injuries occur because of mistaken assumptions that salad dressing is the same thing. These types of injuries are obvious to all so no further explanation is needed from me. American City Business Journal has ranked Rochester second in the country for quality of life based on the high levels of income and education. Those high levels of income and education create rich know-it-all’s who understand the difference between salad dressing and Mayo.

2. Our Twins – I don’t care right now. I’m spending this entire weekend not caring, saving my strength for Tuesday and beyond. Starting Monday, I will make up ground by caring more in equal proportion to how much I don’t care this weekend.

3. The Tigers – One of the saddest things you will ever witness in the game of baseball is a team with under-achieving and over paid veterans. At the end of the season when there is nothing left to play for, it’s painfully obvious that they are mailing it in. You can actually hear the creaking of tents being folded as you watch them play.

4. Today’s Joe M Conversation:

Montana: How old are you, Joe?

McCarthy: 108 years old... if I’m allowed to keep counting. Some people claim I stopped back in 1957.

Mauer: Jeez… and I thought I was old at 34 years old.

Morgan: 34 is not old.

Mauer: It is, too.

Morgan: It really isn’t.

Mauer: I’ve been alive before every single dog on the planet.

Maddon: How old are you, Joe?

Morgan: My age isn’t anybody’s business. I keep that info to myself. I’d appreciate not being asked.

Maddon: Ok… I’ll never ask again.

Montana: What does the 1943 in your email address mean? joem1943@massivewebmail

Morgan: That was the year I was born

5. Doors – I pushed on a pull door yesterday. Guy next to me says, “It’s a pull.” Thank God he told me because my natural instinct was to try lifting from the bottom during my 2nd attempt at entry.

Call me obtuse, but it took me awhile to figure out you were talking about Rochester, Minnesota and not the home of our beloved Red Wings Rochester, NY

I first read that as "pull from my bottom."

 

Or, that's what I expected to read.

Note: It's the first 70 degree day of autumn in Austin.... So of course, sweaters, uggz, scarves, and flanel apparel is needed today.

I feel your pain Vanimal.   It hits 70 or below here and you'd think the next ice age was setting in.   Then again I can't talk too much myself either.   I was in Alaska this summer and it was a cool and overcast 58 when I landed in Anchorage, and I was like "wow, it's actually pretty freakin' cold out!".  

 

I have gotten SO soft... I feel shame :(

You and me both, ExPat. Once it hits 50 something degrees I'm freezing now... All of our Minnesota weather toughness was lost years ago.

Now I have a legitimate excuse not to work! A co-worker next to me decided one space heater wasn't enough and plugged in 2 space heaters, resulting in blown surge... Phones and internet is down. 

And no matter how many times people are told not to plug space heaters into cubicle outlets or surge arresters, they do it anyway.
