It's kind of cool to follow a team that is making history. Brings a tear to my eye, it does.

Great, there goes our distraction.

so, you're saying the Twins will go 144-18?

Sano has a hit and made solid contact. Progress!

So, I'm in the IT biz...just had a user, friend of mine..well, might be "used to be a friend of mine" send me an email asking how to enable cookies. I replied: Look for a button that says “macaroons” once you find that button, click on it and select “enable cookies” What the heck, a little IT snipe hunting never hurt anyone, right?

Wow, that's a hit parade these days.

Good job Mr. Mauer and Mr. Plouffe.

Kepler, looking, looking, looking...taking a good look while that ball leaves the park!!

You put in "9" and the Twins are playing their ninth game. Looks like a coded message to me. Conspiracy even.

Can't afford to go hitless. Granted, it's a teacup of water poured on a drowning man, but the insult remains.

I was excited about this season. I'm no longer excited about the season, instead, my interest is more on the morbid side.

I was expecting some regression to around 78 games. However, at the rate the Twins are going, that may be an optimistic win total. (if you look at Streak Analyzer, the numbers are brutal for teams that start 0-6. I'm going to check 0-8 tomorrow)

Last year, we really didn't have expectations and were pleasantly surprised. This year, we have expectations and have been unpleasantly surprised. However, at this rate, we're going to lower our expectations below the expectations of last year.

Hey, MLB has a matchmaker site. What could possibly go wrong? Other than perhaps getting involved with a, shudders, Sox fan.

I'm going with not tonight.

Streak Analyzer, text file and a spread sheet. Takes about 10 minutes. I'll let you know tomorrow.

Let the chants begin!! We're oh and 8! We're oh and 8! We're oh and 8! We're oh and 8! We're oh and 8! We're oh and 8! We're oh and 8! We're oh and 8! We're oh and 8! We're oh and 8! We're oh and 8! We're oh and 8! We're oh and 8! We're oh and 8! We're oh and 8! We're oh and 8! We're oh and 8! We're oh and 8! We're oh and 8! We're oh and 8! We're oh and 8! We're oh and 8! We're oh and 8! We're oh and 8! We're oh and 8! We're oh and 8! We're oh and 8! We're oh and 8! We're oh and 8! We're oh and 8! We're oh and 8! We're oh and 8! We're oh and 8! We're oh and 8! We're oh and 8! We're oh and 8! We're oh and 8! We're oh and 8! We're oh and 8! We're oh and 8! We're oh and 8! We're oh and 8! We're oh and 8! We're oh and 8!

I think the Twins have officially given up on this game. Right around the 8th inning. Can't help but laugh.

History in the making! (Futility is also history, right?)

It's against my policy. Until it isn't. You're probably right. Just down on the team right now.

Gift double courtesy of Sox player positioning. Even Mauer is going to pull a soft-tossing lefty. So, maybe just a hint of the Sox of last year.

Screaming incoherently works too.

Anecdote time, sonny: Years ago, just after the glaciers retreated, I set a buddy of mine up with a gal I knew. (not in the Biblical sense, get your mind out of the gutter) Anyway, she was an uptown party type girl and he was a hunting and fishing kind of guy. She wound up going hunting and fishing and enjoyed it. If memory serves, she even went bow hunting.* Last I heard, she was quite the outdoorswoman. (This was back when I lived in the Twins Cities area) *Time frame somewhat exaggerated to protect those still living.

On the upside, we stand a good chance of not watching Jepsen be Jepsen 2016.

So much for the insurmountable 1 run lead by the Sox.
