Happy Thanksgiving

Let's eat.

There are many things in this man's life to be grateful for ... many many many things. But this is a blog about baseball, not a blog about the wife and the beagle and the myriad wonders of life in middle America.

So I'll focus on this one:

I am grateful that the team of which I am a fan is a chronic contender with stable, sober, competent management, grateful that the team injects drama into my life through what it does on the playing field rather than the clubhouse, courtroom or Internet scandal sites.

Whatever frustration the Twins' Octobers have caused pales next to the pleasure their summers provide.

Happy Thanksgiving, dear readers.
