Written by How is this for funny? I’m sitting in the lobby of the church where I just played for a wedding ceremony. Figured I would quick get the post up before I run into the reception. Gotta love a church with public wifi!!
Anyway, I’m going to keep my pregame comments pretty minimal as a result – I’m already hearing giggling for sitting on a laptop in my wedding gear. Since I have a 2 year old and a 6 month old in my care while at the wedding, I’m sure I won’t stay too long and I’ll be able to come join you during the game.
The one random bit of fun to get you going about the team is that Gardy has already been heard referring to our new closer as “Capper”. Guess he’s officially one of the guys now!

ANOTHER WIN!!! After those months of dark times when it felt like we needed 3 new starting pitchers, it sure is nice to have a FANTASTIC outing from our starter, great offense from our lineup and flashy defense out in the field. It really does a lot to repair the mood of us Twins fans.
Thank you, Kevin for 8 shutout innings. There was a time when many wondered if you would ever be able to do that again and tonight was a thing of beauty. For that, the chat unanimously voted you BOD! We give pastries to Lexi and the rest of the heavy hitters. Great outing boys!
I am seriously liking the abundance of first inning runs lately. Hope this trend continues.
I know, right? I actually get nervous if we don’t score in the 1st.
