Shooting Fish in a Barrel Again

By

“The Twins were upset with the rain out against the Tigers yesterday...”

“Why,” you ask? Did it change their rotation? Did their starting pitcher get hurt while warming up?

Nope.

Because, according to Kay, “Everyone knows that there is usually a split in a double header and the Twins were hoping for a sweep!”
