Twins Recovering, Indians Still Fighting for Home Field Advantage
The Twins can actually relax and set their starting rotation for the upcoming play-offs.
I kind of think that's smart. Just so they're ready for that one all important game...
Sports as a whole lately is hard to watch. Football players think they are doing the "right" thing by having some type of protest "as a team" during the National Anthem, while conservative fans think they are misguided puppets of the left (at best) or complete idiots and traitors to America (at worst.)
I'm still not sure why ALL the teammates must take the SAME stance and be united on what they are doing. Most, when interviewed individually, don't even have a good answer for why they are doing anything. Answers range from "police brutality" and "racism" to not liking President Trump's statements on the matter. It's kind of funny actually, they are protesting the President's right to free speech. The irony escapes their collective mindset...
NFL viewing is down by about 10% so far this year, and some link it to conservative fans being sick of stupid football players making horribly bad political judgements.
Me? I just don't seem interested in the product yet. I don't watch the beginning of ANY games anymore just to avoid the controversy. I've also stopped watching all news shows and sports shows because they can't stop talking about it.
In other sports news...
College basketball is being rocked by a huge scandal. It seems assistant level coaches and higher may have been accepting big money payouts from sports agents to direct their student athletes toward said agents. If this was happening at any other department in college, or at other area of life (a trusted friend encouraging someone to make a lot of money legally and how to do it) no one would bat an eye. But it's college sports, and student athletes are fragile adults...
More sports...
The NBA has stated that they have it in the players contracts that they MUST stand for the National Anthem, so that they don't seem disrespectful of America. That's always been their policy.
I can't wait to see what happens next THERE, this season...
In America you are free to do as you wish as long as it's not illegal or in your contract. Please realize other folks can do what they wish as well, based on YOUR actions.
It's called consequences.
The Packers won easily last night but lost some good players to injury. I didn't watch the game. Too much controversy.
And it was a blowout and I was tired so I went to bed.

Twins In!!!!
For the very first time in the history of baseball, a team with 100 or more losses the previous season has made the play-offs THIS season. That team? OUR team.
In the history of baseball only 13 teams with 100 losses have even had a winning record the next season.
The Twins traded their all-star closer, Brandon Kintzler, just after the all-star break, and most Twins fans, including me, thought THAT was the season.
Molitor thought differently. He was still determined to win it.
And they did.
They now have won the opportunity to lose more game to the Yankees this season.
Anything other than that will be a most pleasant surprise.
Go Twins!!!

New Star Trek?
Not impressed. The re-imagined Klingons are hard to look at and even more difficult to listen to. Those full metal costumes that are impossible to move in and those ugly masks with their false teeth are all that is wrong with TV science fiction today.
And what is it with the Star Fleet High command? Anyone above the rank of first officer is either stupid, evil, or both. Just how did they ever achieve those ranks? And why should I root for the Federation?
I think I'll pass.
