Twins Video
1. Cleveland -- The Twins visit a place that is affectionately called the "Mistake by the Lake." Getting to Cleveland from Toronto is interesting because you have to drive across Lake Erie and there isn't a bridge. It's a good thing they arrived late last night because you have to worry about the team's safety. According to the News... last night Cleveland was over run by Republican thugs. The GOP Gang is ten times more threatening than the Bloods and the Cripps. They have descended upon Cleveland and they are fighting to determine who will be the alpha male. I've watched the Nat Geo Wild Channel and we all know what happens when the Alpha Male is challenged in a troop of Baboons. Sharp teeth are shown... Horns are locked... Bluffs... Throats are enlarged and exotic colors are displayed. Whoever comes out on top of this battle will earn mating rights for the entire country. Which is a nice way of saying... they will get to (blank) the entire Country.
2. Let the Debate Begin -- When discussing the current state of the Minnesota Twins... Donald Trump said "We don't have time for Tone... We gotta go out and get the job done". That was a pretty convincing squishing we just endured at the hands of the Blue Jays. Undoubtedly there are a few of us who felt that the Blue Jays went out and acquired the pieces necessary to reach the playoffs while the Twins didn't and this 4 game series is proof positive of what will be the result of that. Let the debate begin... Who knows... Maybe... Maybe Not... but I'm not going to worry about the Blue Jays anymore... they are going to do what they are going to do. I'm going to worry about the Twins. The Twins control their destiny... not the Blue Jays. It's up to them. If the Twins are going to make the playoffs… they've got to make it happen. The Blue Jays will not be standing in their way. Every team in the American League is standing in their way. It's one game at a time like it always has been. As Donald Trump said: "This Team Doesn't win anymore... We lose to the A's".
3. Mental Strength -- How mentally strong is this team? We are about to find out. In the baseball business... this is called a "5-game losing streak". Five-game losing streak is a technical term that means that they have failed to win a game in 5 straight games. The losses against the Blue Jays were not just losses... they were muggings... manhood was removed along with bones and cartilage... leaving a puddle of what used to be a winning team. Can the Twins recover from this or will the memory of it be psychologically crippling? The Indians are not a team to be feared. If the team needs rehab... the Indians are a friendly environment to learn how to walk again.
4. Cody Anderson -- The Twins face Cody Anderson tonight. Cody was a 14th-round pick by the Indians back in 2011. He's from Quincy, California; and this surprises me because I naturally assumed that he is from Minnesota. Every single town in Minnesota has someone named Cody Anderson living in it. There are 3 of them in Bagley alone. Regardless of Cody being from California... I'm sure like most Anderson's... he enjoys a good hot dish. Here's hoping the Twins can get hot at the dish!!!
5. Debating with my Wife -- I was recently debating with my wife and after the debate we held a vote. My position lost 1-1.
