Why do we play the Red Sox 6 times in 10 days at the end of May again just like this year?
I guess not that big of a deal but still weird

Yanks at end of sept could be reminiscent of 2017 when we played Red Sox at the end of season and then the LDS

Also, I thought we played the Rockies every year...are we back to Arizona???

In summary, f selig

That will be a great time to go.
Went mid-August last year when they played the Tigers.
Nice ballpark and really enjoyed Minneapolis.

I’m already planning the Minnesota trip for next July. I went in August 2015 and had a great time with some friends. Great weather that time of year, there and really nice stadium. I like downtown ballparks where you can stay, eat/drink, and watch the games without having to rent a car.

Yeah all of this
We hit up some nice restaurants and a cool little speakeasy among other things (including catching a preseason Viking game. US Bank Stadium is incredible)
Will post some notes whenever I have a few minutes

It seems like we talk about the Minnesota series every year that the schedule comes out.  Since seeing this:

I've wanted to go when we play during the State Fair again to see how Minnesota's stacks up.  One advantage it has is no okies.  Their fair is the 2nd half of August though, so we miss it again next year.

The thing I remember about the Minnesota State Fair when I went is that for $1, you got all you can drink milk or choco milk.  You just had to stand at the front of the line and pound it.  They jacked up the price to $2 a few years ago.

They have the usual butter sculptures, fried food, etc.

Seems unnecessary to have the deal last for a week. I'm sure there will be 100 people lined up to purchase one before the store even opens on Saturday.

Not that I want to see him on the mound for the Astros again any time soon, but this is a positive sign.

Tucker added 2 more HRs in that game and 4 RBI
Now at 32 and 91 for the year.

September will be interesting shuffling around the outfield balancing “rest” for the regulars while giving Tucker a chance to potentially audition for October.
