It's a big day over at Twinkie Town. I've got the text of my Sunday radio appearance going up this morning, a short piece about interleague play at noon, and then the regularly scheduled game preview thread at 7:00, just prior to game time.
Head on over there - the water's great! [Twinkie Town]

Twinkie Town: Big Monday

This week
A couple of updates this week to run by you.
- I didn't link to it Monday, as it wasn't much, but if you happen to be a TNABACG completist, I wrote a short discussion post on Twinkie Town on Monday, about my first-ever Twins game. [Twinkie Town]
- The NBA Draft is tonight, and I'm on duty for the T-Wolves Blog. I'll have both Wolves-specific updates, and I'll be participating in a network-wide chat, so stop on by for all coverage. [T-Wolves Blog]
- Sunday afternoon, I'll once again be on the Twins Radio Network post-game show, doing the "Gameday Chatter" segment. It's 60 seconds of me talking, buried in about three hours of post-game show... but if you happen to be listening, I'll be on the airwaves again this weekend.

Timberwolves Summer Calendar
The NBA Finals are over - and so we look ahead, at some important summer dates for the Timberwolves (including a few that we may or may not have made up.) [T-Wolves Blog]

Joe Crede vs. Tony Batista vs. Mike Lamb
Over at Twinkie Town, I go inside the numbers to compare Twins third baseman Joe Crede to two of his predecessors at the hot corner - Tony "GAAAH!" Batista and Mike "OW MY EYES!" Lamb. [Twinkie Town]
(Note: later today, there'll also be a Twinkie Town discussion about statistics. Bring your graphing calculators! 1:00 pm!)

Weekend Links
Weekend links, we have a few. But then again, too few to ment- actually, no. We'll go ahead and mention them. [RandBall]

Friday at Wrigley
I'm filling in over at Twinkie Town today - starting with a quick comparison between landmarks from both Minnesota and Chicago. The game's at 1:20; around then, the game thread should go up, and post-game I'll have a recap as well. [Twinkie Town]

Oakland 4, Twins 3: Game Recap
Checking in just before midnight with a link to my game recap on Twinkie Town. Short summary: Anthony Swarzak can't throw a strike, and the Twins got beat again. [Twinkie Town]
"Why We Can't Hit On The Road," by the Minnesota Twins
The Twins explain* why they can't hit on the road. [Twinkie Town]
*NOTE: Not actually written by the Twins.

On Hiatus
Summer seems like a good chance to take some time off from this blog.
For one thing, I'm tired of being a crank. It seems like 95% of my posts are nothing but barely-contained, childish outbursts, and I have to imagine that after awhile, this gets tiring to read. Even Pat Reusse breaks up his curmudgeonly side with the occasional human-interest story. Sitting around and pointing out the failures of others is no way to live. I love sports; they're fun to play and fun to watch and, most of all, fun to watch with others, and nobody likes the pessimist who is perpetually squawking from the corner of the room.
For another thing, posting every day makes me feel like I must post every day, and I'm not so sure that writing often isn't the enemy of writing well. I have been slinging down tripe lately, absolute bilge and complete balderdash, all in the name of having something to say. It occurs to me that writing just to have something to write, is nothing more than getting effect mixed up with cause.
A break, then, and for how long I can't say.
I'll obviously post links from the other regular sources; I'll be writing Monday columns and game recaps at Twinkie Town, and weekend links on Saturdays at RandBall, and I'll be writing once a week for the T-Wolves Blog as well.
I'll sign off for now; catch ya on the flip side.
GameDay Chatter Appearance
For those who missed it - which was nearly everyone, including me - I've posted the text of my AM 1500 appearance on Sunday afternoon. [Twinkie Town]
