Power Outage

Hilary Clinton is out, Al Franken is in, and the White Sox lead the AL Central by virtue of their pitching. The so called weak hitting Sox have crushed Twins pitching the last few days, as Gardy tries to decide which pitcher to let go from the current 13 man staff. It's not that they are all too good, but that they are so bad it's hard to decide on the worst. But in baseball, every day is a new day. Delmon Young? Home Run? Maybe that's a sign of good things to come.

What I cannot fail to notice, is the first time we were in Chicago (That's Chicago, Bert, not Sheecago), was the sparce crowd decked out in parkas, mittens, blankets, etc. This time they have upgraded to umbrellas and plastic rainsuits. If the Twins had an outdoor stadium this year, I imagine they might have 10 home games in this far, and the attendance would be worse than it already is. Would you pay $50.00 for a tank of gas to drive down from Duluth to sit in a 40 degree rain shower to watch America's pasttime? I wouldn't, even if the team were better. Face it, that's what we have to look forward to in 2010. Brrrr
