Day two for our new, daily feature here at Twinkie Town. Treat this as a combination link-dump and open thread. Feel free to derail the comments to talk about whatever (within reason and the community guidelines.) The links and question provided are just conversation starters

Good morning Twinkie Town!

In case you missed it yesterday:

Elsewhere in Twins Territory

And out there in the baseball world:

  • Rick Ankiel is attempting yet another comeback. Ankiel debut as a pitcher in 2000, resurfaced as an outfielder in 2007, and now is attempting another comeback as a pitcher. He underwent a reconstructive surgery on his UCL (a new alternative to Tommy John) and is now trying to make the majors as a reliever.
  • Ichiro may be retired, but he is still relevant. The Japanese outfielder has an 18 year old Shiba Inu named Ikkyu, and just look at the pupper

  • Remember when that eagle landed on James Paxton before the Mariners-Twins game at Target Field last year? The Yankees sat the two old foes down for a heart-to-heart, and apparently it went really well.

Today’s discussion question

If you could be any animal, which one, and why?
