  1. If yesterdays The Diamond video taught me anything is that Louie Varland loves to harass grown men in Domes.

  2. Feels like the twins have been treading water all season but it turns out they are in the shallow end of the pool.

  3. Stating the obvious, but it would be huge if they can steal game one of this road trip. 2-4 is the expectation but win the first one and 3-3 becomes very much in play.

  4. The way this season has gone, I see us inexplicably winning the first two against the Rays and then lose out the rest of the week.

    Feels like we always end up right where I expect them to be (which for this week is 2-4), but take the weirdest, most tumultuous path to get there.

  5. Tough one for me.

    The twins are my favorite team, but Zach played on my slow pitch softball team when he was still in the minors, and is truly an incredible, kind, humble dude.

    I’ll root for him to go 8 scoreless, then the twins put up 7 runs in the top of the 9th.

  6. Does anyone know the best place to get tickets to the summer concerts at Target Field, specifically The Killers summer fest thing?
