Happy Birthday Bark!!! According to your Horiscope... It's possible that a routine normal occurance will happen to you today.

It feels kinda good to go on a big losing streak and remain in contention. Losing streaks happen and so do winning streaks. If the Twins can just keep hanging on... Another winning streak would do wonders for our chances. However... Here come the Cardinals and they are pretty cool customers. Here are some things to think about:1. The Cardinals -- There's a lot to think about here. C'mon these are the Cardinals... Just think about what they have accomplished. They are senior leaders of the Catholic Church. Those Cardinals are behind the all that latin and confession and all those things you have to recite. Being a senior leader is incredible when you consider that they are birds and a California grown grape. They also play football and they have the best record in all of baseball. The Twins will have hands fully full. 2. Michael Wacha -- He's just 23 years old and he has been pretty dang good. Pretty dang dominant actually and the future looks bright. Michael was born in Iowa City, Iowa and he was lucky enough to escape. He moved to Texarkana, Texas when he was 3 years old. Texarkana was named that because no one really knows where it’s located. Texas... Arkansas... Louisiana... It just doesn't matter when you drink that heavily. I've been to Texarkana and I ran back to Iowa right away. 3. Snapping a losing streak -- The Twins were so good that they could reel off 5 straight losses and still remain in contention for the AL Central title or a wild card spot. I still feel good that they were able to halt the streak yesterday with a win over Texas. Because facing Wacha after losing 6 in a row would have sucked. And now the pitchers get to bat... I'm not sure what to expect from Trevor May swinging the lumber. 4. Byron Buxton -- He's here... I don't know for how long but he's here. We've been watching Joc Pederson and Kris Bryant and Addison Russell and Carlos Correa and thinking... Hey... I'd like one of those. Well Byron Buxton is supposed to be our one of those. He's fast... I could see that... He should play a decent CF... Now it's a question of how much will he produce at the plate. He'll have a little time to work on that in the 9 hole. Welcome to the Big Leagues... Byron Buxton. 5. Photographs -- There were a few picture of me taken during my two week road trip. I'm gonna have to lose some weight. Those photos of me are still printing. -------------------- Game-time forecast: 80 deg F (but will probably feel like 90), high humidity, overcast, 90-100% chance of rain/thunderstorms. In other words, stay tuned for further announcements of a possible postponement. And if it's anything like Chicago at 5:02pm, the sirens are blaring now all over.

Post of the night

Considering that I'm the one asking... The Odds are against that... However... in this case... I've never known why it's called off sale.

You could talk about bible study and I'm going Zeppelin somehow.

Makes sense... Usually you have to drink pretty heavy to be that conflicted.

Why do they call it Off-Sale? Is there something suspicious about the pricing?

SInce you are without wheels... How long of a walk to Wisconsin is it?

That's not Sad... Concerning Yes... But not sad.

I lerned... It's best to take the pants off first.

She's not going to be cooperative because Gibby stole her refreshments.

Not on but in

I have Piston Pants... Say it out loud... Over and Over again until it comes into focus. Audio helps to recognize it.

With the First Pick in the 2015 NBA Draft... The Minnesota Timberwolves Select Willie Banks

I wasn't allowed to Shoot. Coaches Orders

I'm glad you got that... I didn't want to explain the Joke

Gerald Ford and the Philly Phanatic jamming as the Little River Band

Stringer... He Man's-Up and takes the responsibility.

Yeah... By that time... I will have Piston Pants... Piston Shorts... Piston Beer Mugs and nobody will even notice.

That also works... You can type that

Yeah... Right when I become a Piston's Fan... the Wolves will win it all

How bout that... The Wolves are #1

I would have hired some outside the organization... Some one lucky... Like... Taylor Swift

That is probably on Santana and not Dozier. They gotta communicate
