Last week, I set my outside house lights to purple and yellow for the upcoming match of the two squadrons (which was, uh, a thrilling game to behold). However, the lights on top of the house and driveway lights are two different brands, so the closest I could get them to coordinate on a yellow … Continue reading September 21, 2026: Camouflage →

MINNESOTA TWINS 8, LOS ANGELES ANGELS 0 IN ANAHEIM When we read about the potention rotation for next season, assuming there is a next season, Dean Kremer is rarely mentioned.  Yet, he has pitched about as well as anyone else in the rotation in the two months he's been with the Twins.  He's still under … Continue reading Twins Recap: Game 146–9/20/26 →

It's time for the autumnal Wordlenox! May the number of your guess grow as short as the days.

That farmers book says it's going to be a wet autumn. The end of summer is trying to usher that in around here.

COLUMBUS CLIPPERS 4, ST. PAUL SAINTS 0 IN COLUMBUS The Clippers scored two in the first, and that was all they needed.  They added one in the second and one in the third, and there was no scoring after that.  The Saints had only one at-bat with a man in scoring position, going 0-for-1. Multi-hit … Continue reading Minor Details: Game of 9/19/26 →

Day game alert! Wait, it's Yankees again so, uh, carry on. Carlos Rodón vs Zebby Matthews The Twins now have 81 losses so .500 is the best they can do with an 11 game win streak. Or in the most likely case every win from now on is an improvement over 2025.

NEW YORK YANKEES 8, MINNESOTA TWINS 1 IN MINNESOTA Once again, it was a fairly close game until it wasn't. Cody Bellinger hit a two-run homer in the first and the Yankees were up 2-0 two batters into the game.  To his credit, Twins starter Bailey Ober settled down some after that.  The Twins got … Continue reading Twins Recap: Game 151–9/15/26 →
