If you post the same thing twice in a row, is that a jinx? Kinda like saying the same thing as another person at the same time?

Wait. There’s no boogeyman.?? Who has been under my bed for the past 58 years?

Nice intro. I'm old enough to remember "Calvin Ball" (no not Calvin and Hobbes, that was a bit later). He would find and develop some talent and then trade away or lose them to free agency because he wouldn't/could't pay them. If I recall correctly, he may have been one of the last owners whose sole income came from the team, and he wasn't going to invest to make a contender. He wasn't a multi-millionaire or billionaire who bought a baseball team for giggles. 32m in 1984 is a pretty dang good investment.

I just woke up from a wonderful dream where the Twins went back to back to back to start a game against the Yankees.

Not sure. It's just that tri-tip is kinda bougie, whereas chicken is the meal of the masses. I figure celebrating early with expensive stuff is sticking it to those East-Coast-Establishment-Noblesse-Oblige Yankees. Will sticking it to them jinx it?

So tomorrow I've got some tri-tip to throw on the smoker/grill. If I make it early will it be a j*nx? I may even go to the game if I make it early enough.

Been busy tonight, but I just found out a long-time friend of mine is going to be a guest of Tony O at Cooperstown this month. This is great end to a day,

Gordon's Toronto game uniform.

Are there other parks with thick, soft padding? Would outfielders have to adjust to balls hit off the wall since they wouldn't carom as far?

Just joining the funhouse for a bit tonight. Very nice intro. I have to ask, Diesel, did you graduate college at age 50? I can’t say I had that much wisdom even 15 years out of college. Maybe even now….

Well when he’s wearing that red uniform……

At best a delayed start. 100% chance of rain tomorrow. 1 to 2 inches. ☹️

Sir?

Someone’s on the fainting couch fanning herself right now.

Tuned in just in time for the winner. Been a long week with kids in town, a funeral etc. etc. Tonight I missed the broadcast because my beloved and I finished.”Our Flag Means Death.” I then introduced her to “True Detective” Season 1. I stand by my decision.

I have a flex plan. I can take you to 10 games with me. My kids will not like this arrangement.

Just looked at MLB.com and the lead video is Ohtani hitting a home run. No videos of a win after being down by 6 runs in the 8th inning. MN vs KC is a flyover land special I guess.

Today was Surly Coffee Bender. When feeling bitter, I go for Furious. When feeling nostalgic, Summit EPA. When going out of state, Deschutes Fresh Squeezed. My dad used to drive a long way to get Leines. I have to say that when parched on a hot day, a Summer Shandy, really goes down well.

Can't argue with that. But firing up the old charcoal grill and throwing on some chicken thighs with a sprinkling of Morton's SeasonAll.... that with a few beers on a Sunday afternoon in the summer is nirvana.

I shall save the chicken bones from this win to foretell future games.

Absolutely! Made a bunch of stuff: brats, sweet potatoes, burgers. Family ate the other things. Hardly touched the chicken. Heathens.
