Hey y'all... I've got a few days off. I'm sure I won't stay completely away from the socials, but I'm going to try.

HOWEVER! I am planning to file a mailbag for my Sunday newsletter, so hit me with any mid-camp Twins questions you have and I'll try to get to as many as I can.

The last spot on the bench, the last spot in the bullpen, and the best espresso in the Twin Cities. How can you say no to that?

Forget it, Bill. It's Chicken Town.

Ryan faced 11 batters in live BP, looked sharp. By my count only one base hit, lot of weak grounders. Hitters: Keaschall, Lee, Wallner, Outman, Wagaman

But basically he said he loved Teresa spending the money. That that's why he liked to make money, so that the people he loved, the people around him, could have the things they wanted. He hoped she had a great time spending that money. (3/3)

Some good old boy reporter asked him in cornball yuk-yuk way about Teresa spending all his money. "Har har women be shopping" stuff.

And Dale gave the most earnest, best answer, and I'm sure I won't quote it perfectly accurately so I won't try to go word for word. (2/3)

My first full-time job was at NASCAR dot com in the late 90s. And I have a couple of Earnhardt stories even though I didn't interact with him THAT much. But my favorite, by far, came during the annual media tour when they opened the new Dale Earnhardt Inc. shop -- "the Garage Mahal." (1/?)

It’s 3/3, annual reminder to raise hell and praise Dale

Lee walks, steals second, steals third, and scores on a sac fly.

Brooks Lee... steals... third?

SWR got BABIP'd to death in the first and then was pretty decent after that. 3 Ks, 1 walk, 61 pitches/34 strikes, 7 whiffs. Not great but decent.

What's funny is it was entirely my own doing. My mom definitely had one and neither parent made any effort in that regard. It's all my fault.
