Where's the angst in that?

Detroit took the lead! *Just kidding

wow, this comment aged all of an inning before it went stale.

I'm drawing a blank on this one.

Winter has arrived early?

I'll settle for racing and or stock market tips.

Remind me, how well did this comment age? About 6 innings? )

Glad I missed the "Gibson Angst." Be cool if Gibson could reinvent himself as a relief pitcher.

Yes.

Today is Tuesday, right?

Pro-tip: timely cleaning of soiled armor will help prevent rust. This has been a tip from the armor manufacturers guild. Thank you, and, remember, clean armor is the best armor!

Today, the magic number stands at 3. Not 4, not 2, and 5 is right out. The number is three and three shall be the number. *I put in the whole thing because I can relate to the "soiled armor" bit what with some of the things that happened during the season. Now, the Twins head into Detroit and the Twins faithful are looking at this series, knowing things are counting down to the post-season. But, we are not counting our playoffs before they hatch, are we? The Twins head into Detroit and, if the past is anything to go by, they will exact their revenge on Detroit. (Well, okay, the Twins have been exacting revenge on Detroit all year....) And, with that, we go to stuff to think about. (Yeah, as if I really put a lot of thought into some of this stuff. Oh crud, I typed that out loud, didn't I?) 1. Detroit: Rebuilding or looking to rebuild the rebuild? 2. Twins: Can they beat the Yankees in home runs this year? 3. Bomba squad: Can they keep on bombaing? 4. Ginger or MaryAnne?* *Just had to mess with ya'll a bit! Lineups: 5. Play ball!

Between Swanson and Wes Johnson, the new FO has really gone "outside the box" when it comes to coaching.

I read the article and while it was sort of interesting, it was a bit bland. TD does a much better job of breaking things down and getting out more in depth analysis.

Do the Twins exercise Cruz's option? It depends: Are they doing cardio and weights or just cardio?

Where I work, there are certain things that are completely off limits and you will be hung out to dry if it turns out there is substantial evidence of wrongdoing. This looks like the same kind of thing.

Well, this isn't alleged, because it happened in full view of MLB officials. If it wasn't so public, then, yes, an investigation would be in order.

How are you holding up?

Crud, no help from Philly so far.

96 wins and the Twins are the third seed in the playoffs, currently. Amazing season all the way around this year.

Hard to believe the Twins have won 96 games yet still haven't won the division.
