<could not translate from squirrel speak to English>
Here’s what you may have missed on Twinkie Town:
- a preview of this week’s series on the docket for the Twins, which I may have jinxed
- Boomstick returned from the IL
- Zach compared a current Bomba Squad member to a famous Twins player
- Spring Training schedule is out and Joel is taking us to a bunch of games (thanks again, Joel!)
- a turtle is hitting bombas in rehab, among other injury updates
- it’s squirrel week here in Twins Territory and TJ has some background info on the famous guy as well as a fresh t-shirt if you want to represent
- the squirrel made an appearance not once, but twice, but not thrice, resulting in a series loss to the Pale Hose
Here’s what you may have missed outside of Twinkie Town:
- a writer thinks the squirrel is an idiot and “nutmegged” is trending across the globe as a word that’s not a word
- and we might not see the rally squirrel ever again
- in non-squirrel-related news, the team is not promising that a prospect that everyone is clamoring for will see the bigs this year
Here’s what you may have missed in the baseball world:
- one rival’s starting pitcher suffered a setback in rehab and is being shut down for a couple weeks
- while the same rival has another starting pitcher who was diagnosed with leukemia earlier this year starting rehab, which is awesome to see
- an American Association team is getting the boot from their stadium, but both the team and the league say they’ll stay in town
- the Little League team from Minnesota fielded the only girl in this year’s World Series; she notched a ꓘ and made a great play off the mound
Discussion:
You probably won’t hear from me this weekend (please hold your applause until the end) since I’m taking my annual trip to the Great Minnesota Get-Together, a.k.a. the Minnesota State Fair. It begs the question: What’s your favorite fair food? If you’ve been to multiple state fairs, which one is your favorite?
