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...

This one seems like it would be familiar to each and every member of the Twins bullpen.

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

Gladden just made a really stupid statement - every team has a game like this during the season - does he realize how many of these games we have had?

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.

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.

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.

I only had to see one pitch of this game to know the result. Time for some Netflix show with an IMDB score of 4.9 or lower.

4.9?
 

We got an out!
