Twins Video
1. Royals Series in Review -- Here's the deal... We came closer to sweeping the Royals then the Royals came close to sweeping us. The Royals had to pull off a couple of walk-off wins in order to avoid getting swept. According to Dick and Bert... the Royals hadn't had a walk-off win all year. Now they have two... glad we could help. Also according to Dick and Bert... kidney Beans are actually kidneys. I heard them discussing that a couple of years ago when Trevor Plouffe flew out to LF. Disclaimer... there is no connection between Plouffe and Kidneys... I'm not that clever.
2. The Orioles and identical Records -- The Twins are currently 43-39 and the Orioles are currently 43-39. This is just plain wrong at this time of year. Here's why... Teams are not supposed to have played the same amount of games. One team can play 82 games but the other needs to play 83 or 79. That's why there are half game leads in division races. I know this because I don't have a (1/2) button on my keyboard and there are many times that I need it. Typing ( .5) in its place... sucks.
3. The Half Way Point -- We are past the half way point and I know this because I just did the math in my head... Yeah... that's right... no calculator... just pure math in my head. Forty-three plus 39 equals 82 and that means we are past the half way point. The Twins were 43 and 38 in the first half and if they do it again... they will finish with 86... again... that was math done in my head. The Twins are really screwing up their chances of getting a real good draft pick.
4. Sano and Santana -- They both made their Twins debut this weekend and they both made decent debuts. Sano and Santana both tried real hard to win the game yesterday. Actually... if we would have had a team full of Sano's and Santana's... we would have won the game. However... the team photo would look really strange.Would you put all the Sano's on one side and the Santana's on the other. And would you place them all randomly?
5. Donations -- Had a surprise knock on the door Saturday Morning... I wasn't expecting anyone so I was a little worried that death was on the other side. Turned out to be a Mom and her young daughter going door to door for donations for a new swimming pool in town. Being new in town... I felt compelled to contribute and I grabbed my wallet. The wallet was empty because I didn't get to an ATM. So I gave her a bottle of water.
