The Twins baseball world started dark enough to bring to mind Shakespearian tragedies… “Alas, poor Nathan…” I’m sure there will be no end to the discussion of his loss to this team and not only what will this year look like but next year as well. For today, I’ll just wish him well and hope to see him again.
I’m putting up the GameChat a little early just to remind people that it’s actually being broadcast on local TV in addition to local radio!! We get to SEE baseball!! So I’ll see y’all back here for realtime game discussion at noon!

thanks to everyone who joined gamechat! see you next time.
Since I wasn’t back from Target Field yet for the early part of the game, I just watched the part where Nathan was talking with Dick ‘n’ Bert. It was so fun when he interjected what he was saying with play-by-play. If he can’t be on the field, I’d love to see/hear him in the booth from time to time.
