NS Remodler, North Star remodeling, and welcome to KF. The Twins, 12 to 2 win today, wrapped up a, what, 3-and-3 week, 6-4 road trip. Yep. That sounds right to me. That's right. I think, have we seen the final score on this Cleveland-Baking team yet? No, they're in the extra innings right now. You know, it looked for a while like they were going to be exactly where they were when |
| 1:44.3 | the week started, that they were going to be 10 and a half games up. |
| 1:46.9 | At worst, they're going to be nine and a half games up. |
| 1:48.7 | We're waiting to see what happened. |

| 2:34.7 | bullpen blow a lead, but the guy who blows the lead is the only free agent major league |
| 2:40.6 | reliever they signed the whole offseason when guys like us were saying, why are they not making |
| 2:44.9 | other bullpen moves? |
| 2:46.9 | And Blake Parker, who I think signed for $1.8 million, whereas Kimbril got $43 million for three years from the Cubs. |
| 2:53.5 | And I was like, yeah, that, I mean, that's, yes, that's a very Minnesota sports type of thing, but let's send that back to rewrites. It seems a little over the top. Yeah, what is it? It's like a hallmark movie in reverse or something. but they dropped the first two to Cleveland, |
