Twins Video
1. Top Non-Trump News Story (Or Stories):
T-Mobile and Sprint have announced a merger that will combine the 3rd and 4th largest cellular companies and make them the 3rd largest. For the customers, each company's coverage map will be combined together which will double the amount of dead zones.
2. Our Twins:
With injuries to Sano and Buxton, our stockpile of pure right-handed hitters was reduced to Brian Dozier, Mitch Garver and Ryan LaMarre. Currently on the 40-man roster we have Zach Granite and Jake Cave down in Rochester who are both left-handed. According to statistics, 10% of the world population is left-handed. The Twins front office may want to consider looking for talent in the much larger demographic base.
3. The Blue Jays:
Nobody is struggling as bad as the Twins but the Blue Jays may be the next in line. Just 3-7 in their last 10 games, the Jays have cooled off after a fairly warm start to the season. Their starters have some interesting names but Estrada, Garcia and Stroman haven’t been good at all. There was a time when the Jays would come to town with Bautista, Encarnacion, Donaldson and Tulo. None of those guys are coming this time. It’ll just be the normal non-threatening Thunder Bay group who sit in the upper deck, drink too much and laugh at everything. They are all named Gordon.
4. Today’s Joe M Conversation:
McCarthy: Joe… you have really lost weight.
Morgan: Thank you for noticing. It wasn’t planned. I wasn’t on a diet and it just kind of happened.
Mauer: Maybe you are dying.
Montana: That is possible
Morgan: Thank you for that… I feel better now.
Maddon: I lost a bunch of weight once… found it again at Krispy Kreme.
5. Iowa:
In the movie 'Field of Dreams', the ghosts would ask “Is this Heaven?" Costner would reply “No… it’s Iowa.” As I drove through Iowa, I thought about that line. If ghosts can’t tell the difference, I may have to manage my expectations for when my time comes.

Gametime forecast: The current rain will pass into partly cloudy skies, that will not drip, 77 deg F, winds at 14mph from the S. My what a difference a month makes. Maybe they shouldn't start games so early.
Please win Twins. Please.
