I hadn't been feeling good all week, since Monday, so I went to the doctor this morning. Same thing last week, felt lousy Monday through Friday, better Saturday and Sunday. The prior week was similar, bad week, better Saturday and Sunday. 

 

Doctor took some tests, asked me a bunch of questions, and told me I have a "weekend immune system."

Baseball, Cracker Jack, hot dogs, peanuts and Chief jokes.

Anyone else having an issue with bally sports north?  I can't find the Twins game on there....

One pitch, one out.

Seems unsustainable.

3 out of four ain't bad.

I strangely find myself in the mood for baseball.

Nothing strange about this at all!

Only 2 beers in the fridge when the game started.  My dear wife asked she could have one.  Of course I said yes.

 

What have I done?

You've now put her in your debt!

Opening day flub: Dick called it the shot clock. Probably not the first or last time an announcer said that.

The rapid new rules-driven pace of the game really improves the speed at which the Twins can deliver crushing bases-loaded disappointment...

[Mike Sixel]

Sigh.

[USAFChief]

Bases left loaded by the Twins. Weird.

I’m adding the pitch clock to batting photos….weird….and accurate.

[SteveLV]

Wow, more guys LOB.  Same team, different year.  We need someone that THRIVES in these situations.  Too many of our hitters SHRINK when guys are on base....Had a chance to put a huge dent in this game right off the proverbial bat.  Rats!

I'm calling a mulligan. 4 out of 5 ain't bad. The fifth one is really bad.

[jkcarew]

On pace to leave 4374 mean on base.

I was gonna go with "on pace to set an unbeatable record for "Runners LOB in a season."

Or 4 out of 5.

They'll probably fall short of 4000 but it's still exciting to think of the possibilities.

[rwilfong86]

Looking forward to this all offseason

[Mike Sixel]

Boston Red Sox pitchers. Ouch. Not good.
