Yeah, grief is supposed to be good... So i am told.
 
Today, i felt it appropriate to honor Charles Schultz. I am sure he would approve Minnesota's baseball team and its stick-to-it-ive-ness in the face of welming odds (no just welming, we only wish they were over)
 
I am too lazy to track down an iconic baseball image, or rather taking a small look, that the series ran almost half a centrmury, i am awed and humbled by the creativity inherent in such a run. Anyway, mad props go to.who ever can track down the image what best represents the Twins season so far.
 
Even as kids we appreicated the strip, as i have vague memories of friends competing to see who could yell the name of the comic strip the loudest.

I hope we are alright. I heard there was concern as a number of players left the game yesterday. I hope they are okay...

Hmm,.. with the way both teams are playing and how Chicago kills lefties  I am not coming into this game with a lot of optimism, but on any given day anything can happen.  We can hope for the best!  I am expecting a boycott at today's game - no, not from how the Twins are playing but rather on the presumptive surname of the White Sox Right-fielder.

I am surprised to see the White Sox have the best record in baseball - they are good, but they do have any easy schedule playing in this division.

Fun fact: the Twins also play in the AL Central.

Twins pitchers just look pathetic.  Happ looks like he can't even get the pitch over the plate.  Can any of the Twins pitchers get a hitter to swing and miss?   Damn, 3 hitters into the game and it looks terrible already.  Same old stuff.

So sick of seeing the twins build a rotation with guys like happ and shoemaker. How many of these “take a chance and hope it works” guys have actually worked out? Colon? Pavano?
