no love for the Astros even with home field advantage
They won't let me give blood anymore. The burnt orange color scares the hell out of the doctors.

You have way too much faith in the Twins to even win a game, much less a series.

I used to RELISH the regular season's end, just to get my hands on the final season stats.  Just a few years ago, actually.

Now, something else takes up all my nerdy sports numbers time.  At least it makes money.  Before, I was nerding out for free!

The Twins current postseason losing streak is L18, and it dates to 2004. 

Since that time, MSP pro teams not named the Lynx or the Vikings have advanced exactly two playoff rounds since then.  Both of those advances ended by getting shelled in the second round by the Blackhawks.

So color me pessimistic.

Can we at least agree that the value of having four playoff games in one day is to line them up better? Why are these games not at like 1, 4, 7, 10
