Twins Video
1. Top Non-Trump News Story (Or Stories):
Scientists from a California University may have found an innovative way to cure hearing loss. The scientists have figured out a way to deliver a drug into the inner ear that will stay put and repair or regenerate damaged neurons which is believed to be the wiring that allows hearing to happen. This stunning new development was announced in front of hundreds who suffer from hearing loss. The response to the announcement was rather subdued because nobody was able to actually hear the announcement.
2. Our Twins:
It’s too bad that the Twins didn’t get a chance to play yesterday. Sunday could have been a day to wash the bad taste of Saturday out of our mouths. It’s still too soon to be happy with Sano and Escobar and it’s too soon to be worried about Morrison or Duke. But I am wondering if the time isn’t exactly right to be worrying about Hildenberger. Those were a bunch of meatballs tossed right down the middle. He might want to start placing the ball in some other locations… locations like Rochester, Pawtucket, Lehigh Valley, Norfolk and Toledo.
3. The Astros:
These guys still look pretty dang scary on paper and they are looking pretty dang scary on the field as well. I’m looking for a weakness but I can’t find one. Hitting, pitching, power, speed, bullpen... they seem to have it all. But… but… consider this… maybe they are not taking everybody else seriously after winning the World Series, maybe they think too highly of themselves after winning the World Series, maybe they are tired from all the extra baseball played winning the World Series last year. I call it World Series kryptonite!!!
4. Today’s Joe M Conversation:
Morgan: Guys… have you all been reading the news?
Maddon: Of course… I like to stay informed in between pitches.
Morgan: I’m really worried that my Facebook personal information has been data mined.
McCarthy: C’mon, now… don’t you think you are being a little bit paranoid?
Montana: Some guy with pink hair says that personal data has been mined from as many as 87 million.
Mauer: Everyone is going to know I’m from St. Paul, what dog video’s I’ve liked and who I’ve been creeping on.
Morgan: Information that’s all in the hands of the Russians now.
McCarthy: Russians? Why do people get so excited about Russians?
5. Visit from a Cat:
I was at a friend’s house and his cat jumped on my lap. I realized it was just looking for some attention and I didn’t mind. I made it purr with a really slow, full-body, non-stop, deep rub from the top of its head all the way down its spine to the base of the tail. The poor cat went immediately limp and it didn’t seem to recover so we took it to the vet immediately. It was a massive stroke.
