A quiet morning in Flushing.

Some quickies from watching last night with the kids…I had explained it was Twins-Tigers and possibly the last game at the Metrodome.
“Wait..so if you lose in the playoffs you have to get rid of your stadium?” Took 5 minutes but I cleared that one up.
“That guy is old!!” That was Jim Leyland.
“Is that where the 9/11 thing happened?” Ah innocence…seems that it would make sense to have Twin Towers in the city of the Twins. Cleared that up too.
“Why aren’t the Mets ever in the playoffs?” Like Jeff and Omar, I had no answer.
Looking forward to 17 home runs at Yankee Stadium tonight with a 40mph hour wind to right field.
Former Met Ron Gardenhire does a good job. Somehow the Twins have won 5 of 8 divisions on his watch. Not bad for a team they tried to contract.
