I’m headed to Target Field tomorrow to watch the Twins and the O’s. Supposed to be sunny and low 70’s. If it’s like today was, it’ll be heaven.

I’ll second the Detroit recommendation. I’ve had an absolute blast there and can’t wait to go back.
Also, if you can ignore the chili, Cincinnati is my favorite city I’ve lived in.
A similar event happened to me about 20 years ago as I was traveling on Hwy 90 between San Antonio and Uvalde. I was parallel with a railroad track that happened to have a short engine with a weed whacker device car cleaning the rail periphery of overgrown plants. Normally I would not have paid a lick of attention to such activity. On this day however, I watched as the Tyranasuras weed eater clipped a rock, launching it like a Titleist softball coming off of a 3-wood, easily over 250 yards, getting bigger and bigger as it sought my vehicle, finding my windshield, and superficially shattering the motherfucker. Fortunately the object didn’t wind up in my chest. It didn’t lodge into my head either. The shit you see sometimes.

Sonofabitch. I could have sworn my MLB app showed it in Cincy.
In that case, the last win against the Reds at home, it was Obama’s second term, Luis Valbuena was offensive hero and He Who Shall Not Be Named threw a complete game shutout.
I sure feel better.

Factually, Devo pitched three and a third. Don’t give that shithead more credit than he deserves.

That is a beautiful park!
It really is. There’s nothing like open-air baseball in good weather. I hope to experience it someday.
Back in October I stayed in a nearby hotel and had a nice view of the stadium. I’ve never had the chance to see a game there, though.
If you enjoy the society of lunatics then I highly recommend local public transit.
This really hits home. We were visiting my sister last summer for her 50th birthday party. We stayed in downtown St. Paul, and the extended family took in a Twins game on the Saturday night. We took the light rail back to St. Paul, one terminus of the line to the other. All the sane people got off on the first stop after crossing the river. It was all lunatics after that.

Several years ago, I took light rail from the Airport to downtown and it was a smooth, positive experience. Sounds like things have changed. I have staff going to a conference there this summer. Looks like they will uber.
According to STATS Perform, the Padres are the first team to score at least 20 runs and have their starter post a nine-inning shutout since the Cincinnati Red Stockings did so against the Baltimore Orioles on Aug. 10, 1889.

Manfred says Rose and Jackson are now eligible. So is Cicotte who DID throw WS games.
The number of invertebrate humans grows by 1.

Anyways, Pete now has statutory eligibility for the Hall.
Tell folks to Google “Pete Rose statutory” for details.
