Twins Video
1. The Mariners -- Seattle is a team that had been expected to be contenders yet they just can't seem to find their way. This from a team that sports a compass for a logo. Seattle has pitching... they've spent money on bats... yet they appear to be lost and I think it's because of that logo. Look at it... go ahead... open up another browser and look at it while you read this. The N for north is almost due south and just a tish to the east. E for East is pointing 3 directions... NW... ENE and SSE. The S for south is located in two directions and you can't go west at all because you can't find a W anywhere. And if you are sailing out of Seattle... you'd have to go west at some point. This is why they are stuck at port, folks. The Mariners need to stop worrying about players until they fix this obvious faulty navigation. Maybe upgrade to GPS or something.
2. The All Star Break -- Remember when the Twins came from behind to beat the Tigers and then won 2 more games to head into the All Star Break? Those were good times. Let me say this... Screw the All Star break for sapping all that momentum and leaving us to restart almost exactly like we started the season, all cold and stuff. If there wasn't an all star break... the Twins probably would be on 15-game winning streak right now.
3. Crickets -- On a quiet night... you can hear the sound of crickets. Crickets have enlarged thighs and those thighs are what produces that well known sound. Crickets will rub their legs together to fill the night with chirps. Only the male can chirp... so I assume it's the male that tells the female to take out the garbage and to quit drinking so much in the cricket world. The primary reason for chirping is to attract a mate. Right now... those of us listening for news on trade deadline deals to improve our club are hearing nothing but crickets. It's good to know that Terry Ryan is busy rubbing his legs together.
4. Deals Deals Deals -- I suppose it's possible that the Twins make a deal between the time 'Thought #3' is posted in the wee morning hours and game time... (Pause) Nah... that wouldn't happen. Meanwhile… everyone else is busy making deals. Hamels is heading to the Rangers... the Dodgers made a 45-team deal picking up two players off the roster of every major league club plus 15 Japanese teams... Carlos Gomez was almost moved to the Mets which made Wilmer Flores cry... Tulo to the Jays... the deals are happening and the deadline expires soon.
5. Days off -- I've been busy at my job. I'm lucky when I can get a day off… However, when I do... I catch up around my place. Laundry, cooking, cleaning and shopping. All I'm thinking is... this is what they call a day off?
