I know a couple of chords... I'm definitely writing a song called "I F'd this Up/Let's do this F'in thing again".

Before I discovered Stevie Ray Vaughan... SRV was the gateway to everything else and led to me eventually culling the herd to the real good stuff. I used to jam out to Night Ranger and Loverboy... Air Guitaring with a Tennis Racket in front of my mirror with a pained rock and roll expression on my face.

You also spelled it wrong. It's street light(Singular)... Pee-Pull oh-oh OH WOOOOOOOOOOOOE

I have the transcript of the mound meeting between Suzuki and Gibson. Suzuki: Remember you have two strikes... You can play with Beltre a little. Don't worry about Pitch count... Get the out. Gibson: My Glove is stuck to my face.

You spelled it wrong... I believe it is spelled " Fee-lay-ee-ay-ay-in"

LOL... and you took out Phil Lynott. Bert will now have to handle lead vocals and Bass and do the majority of the songwriting. And... And... Without question... I'm buying that album on Itunes.

LOL... Now you did it. That song is now stuck in my head.

I can't argue with you on that. Now that Eric Fryer has been sent down.

I can't believe I missed that one. And with a tip of the cap to John Fogerty... "The Blue Ridge Rangers".

Anderson and his crazy bat to contact theories.

Keep trying... Don't stop. We are all right behind you. Laughing and Pointing but behind you none the less. When given the choice between optimism and pessimism... Always choose optimism because Opt is cooler than Pess. And besides... You'll always have that stopped clock is right twice a day thing going for you.

Yeah I did Thank You Chuck Norris

My thoughts are negative so let's counter that with some positive thinking to begin with: -The Road Trip is over. The Twins have come home and they have a much better home record. -The Twins are still in contention for a wild card spot. -Cold Streaks often end quickly and Hot Streaks can begin as quickly. -It's Summer!! -It's not Winter!!! -Teddy Bridgewater has shown an ability to complete 10 yard passes to his tight end. -The Twins have ranged far and wide and have come home to face the Rangers... Here are some things to think about: My thoughts are negative so let's counter that with some positive thinking to begin with: -The Road Trip is over.

Here are some things to think about: 1. Rangers -- The Rangers were rolling pretty good but I'm hopeful that the Seattle Mariners cooled them off by taking 2 out of 3 this past weekend. Maybe this is a sign of the Rangers' hot streak running out of gas and maybe... just maybe... we will be facing just a normal run-of-the-mill squad. The Texas Rangers were named after the New York Rangers. To be called a Ranger doesn't really narrow things down. You can be a Texas Ranger... a New York Ranger... a Park Ranger... a Forest Ranger... an Army Ranger... a Power Ranger... a Lone Ranger... a Night Ranger (Don't Tell me You Love Me)... an Iron Ranger... a boat or a Ford Truck. Prince Fielder is the Ranger that most resembles a Ford Truck. 2. One Turn Through the Rotation -- On our latest trip through our rotation the Twins gave up 52 runs. Thank God we had 9 pitchers in the bullpen or it could have been worse. This may be the 1st time in history where a front office is looking at an exhausted 9-man bullpen and openly discussing the need to call up a 10th bullpen arm. 3. The Last 15 Games -- Here's a list of Twins players hitting below .230 in the last 15 games: Eddie Rosario, Miguel Sano, Brian Dozier, Trevor Plouffe, Torii Hunter, Kurt Suzuki, Joe Mauer, Eduardo Escobar, Eduardo Nunez and the backup catcher combo of Herrmann and Fryer. That's everybody except Aaron Hicks. Ladies and Gentlemen... Aaron Hicks is carrying the Twins and I'm afraid that we are too heavy for him to carry right now. 4. The Last 15 Games -- On the Pitching Side... Here's a list of Twins Pitchers with ERA's over 5.00 in the last 15 games. Ervin Santana, Phil Hughes, Kyle Gibson... Oh God!!! I Can't go on!!! Let's just say... thank God for Mike Pelfrey... His 4.76 ERA is keeping this from being a total disaster. 5. Starting out with Nothing -- I don't want to be totally negative because of the results of this last road trip. I think it's helpful to remind all that the Twins came into the 2015 season and they started out with nothing and they still have most of that. -------------------- Game-time forecast: 78 deg F, clear and sunny heading toward clear and moon/starlit, 0% chance of precipitation, wind from the N at 6mph.

The pitching has to keep the team in games. That's what happened to put us in the Wild Card hunt. The Pitching kept us close enough. I don't care if the indicators suggested luck or not. They kept us close enough to win some games. Of late... We are not close enough to close enough and it's sucking the life out of the squad and fans. The collective collapse has been extreme. Funk... Slump are not strong enough words to describe what is happening on the mound.

I can go shopping now

I never know what i'm discussing... Even when I'm discussing it.

When does Molly throw the bats into the shower. Or as he done that already?

Yeah... That's the Spirit... What doesn't kill you... only makes you stronger. On the Other hand... What Kills you... Weakens you quite a bit.

It's funny... 8-0 doesn't feel any worse than 7-0

I I'm going to try a Taco Casserole Tonight. It says easy on the recipe so I have a 50-50 chance of pulling it off. The recipe says I need a baking dish... And Surprise Surprise... I don't have one. Guess that goes on the list... Along with the Pinto Beans and Tomato Sauce and Taco Seasoning... Well everything the recipe calls for.

Can't believe i"m still watching. The lure of a no-no I guess. Got the Laundry in the washer... Remember to use detergent this time. When I move it over the Dryer... I'll probably do my shopping. So... I hope the Twins get a hit so I don't feel like I'm missing something.

You gotta give the front office credit. It's like they knew we'd need 9 in the bullpen.

Perfectly Legal in Colorado

I knew there would be some statistical evidence to the contrary.
