99 is better than 100

If you're like me this was a rough summer for baseball.  Don't get me wrong, there was plenty of amazing action.  Game 162 was huge for the wildcard race in both the AL and NL and I got to fully flex my mlb.tv subscription with 4 games playing at once!

After watching the Twins drop so many games I will admit that I fell into a bit of a depression about baseball, but the playoffs are on now and I must say that I am very excited.  The Twins did pull through and win 3 of their last 4 to avoid losing their 100th game for only the second time in franchise history (see the abysmal 1982 season w/ 102 losses).

This gives me hope, hope for the future, hope that someday Minnesota baseball will return to form.  We've been playing the "if only we were healthy" card for too long.  Having said that, if we come back healthy next year and finally make some smart moves in the front office the Twins could bounce back in a big way next year.  I won't go into how or why because I'm writing this over break and haven't blogged in a month or so and just trying to get back into the swing of this, BUT... It makes me feel better about our prospects by saying we have a shot.

I am very much so looking forward to playoff baseball, Tampa is hot right now and the Yankees are hopefully dragging after that joke of a finish.  I really haven't paid attention to the National league so um....... yeah.

Well, this is another post, here is where I make a non-committal promise to continue posting more often now that life is blah...blah...blah.

Here's a "song of the day" for you to listen to so that this post has some multimedia to it.  Yay shiny things and Comedy Central.

I do apologize for the lack of real content to this post, [more false promises of future ones being better here].
