Spring

As the winter snow becomes rivers of flowing water throughout town, it's hard not to think about baseball. Even taking a brief walk yesterday it SEEMED like spring, everywhere. Today I plan on walking down to the Sleepy Eye ballpark to see how the mountains of snow are doing there after a few days of intensive thawing.

As my wife asked yesterday. "will this intolerable heat never end?" She was joking of course, but it was nice to see the thermometer just short of 60 degrees. 50 is a possibility again today. The incredible amount of snow we got this winter has finally met its match.

I couldn't be happier.

The again, if the Twins defense would stop having three or four errors a game, that would be nice. I can't judge our new starters at all when it seems every single game the people playing behind them never learned the basics. The starters look bad because the defense currently is awful.

It may be spring, but the Twins are already playing like a last place team at the end of August.
