15 Things More Pleasant than this Twins/Dodgers Series

I notice "Alex Kirilloff's wrist flaring up again" isn't on the list, so on the bright side, this series isn't even the worst thing going on today.

Who was the batting practice pitcher in the Twins uniform in the 8th inning?

These 2 games with the Dodgers just shows Twins fans how far away we really are from competing for a World Series title. I am bummed out now

What's blue and rhymes with, "buzz saw?"

Repainting the back deck every spring.

Repainting the same deck every fall.

Putting the paint dealer's kid through college.

Joyfully watching the snow melt from the grassy yard, only having to watch where you step due to all the turds the deer deposited all winter long while chewing off your arborvitaes, maple saplings and Honeycrisp apple trees.

Taking the snow plow off the tractor in late March, putting it back on the tractor in April, after spending two days trying to remember where you put the pins necessary to mount the blade so you wouldn't lose them, by which time the April snow has melted.

Watching your wife shake her head while you look for the missing pins and telling you the snow will be melted before you get the damn plow back on the tractor.

An empty bottle of Jameson.

I'd like to add that it's pleasant the Yankees are also struggling
