What old friends we could have seen! Trevor Plouffe and Juan Centeno are both in the Rangers system at AAA. Hangin' onto the dream. Because that's silly, right? Only a moron would cling to the job they've always been best at and have a hard time moving forward from when it was no longer a probable future. Yup, them two is sure some dummies! I'd never make that mistake!

If you don't remember "PLOUUUUUUFFFFE" you were never even a Twins fan. Which is fine. There are better things to be, like fans of homemade blacksmithery. When the apocalypse hits, it'll be handy to smithy some stuff. Swords, maybe. Or plowshares. I'm not sure. One of those is good. I haven't stabbed anybody in awhile and the only goldarn plant I seem able to grow is yellow squash. Yay, SQUASH. Hotdish city, coming up.

The starting pitcher for Texas today is lefty Mike Minor. He throws the customary four, and curveball is his out pitch. Digits:

I've only been doing these little color-charts for a few years (I stole the idea from a writer on Royals Review) but one thing I have noticed is you don't have to change the colors very often. Blue and red are the primary colors of a lotta teams. Cleveland, blue and red. Texas, blue and red. Etc. Baltimore is orange, Oakland and Seattle greenish. New York and the White Sox are grey. If the Twins ever play Toronto, my chart is f***ed.

One ED is back, one Beach Boy is in, so we'll see how this lineup goes Twins goes!
