Not that it should be some big concern, as I tweet like four times a year at this point, but I'm happy (and kinda sad because of what this place has become) to say that I'm out of here. You can find me where skies are blue at @kevingoldstein.bsky.social

This was so much fun. Think After Hours meets Desperately Seeking Season but a crime caper.
THE LINGUINI INCIDENT (1991)—a lost-and-found gem of early-'90s independent cinema by @SaltyShep. It reemerges in a new director’s cut as an offbeat treat—an engagingly out-there, tonally singular comedy featuring an amazing ensemble cast. Now playing! bit.ly/4em3VAy

Sure, I’m spending a hot Saturday afternoon playing Balatro, the best video game of 2024. Sure, nobody should care about my video game achievements. But I just had the best run of my life and it made me giddy. (h/t @LocalThunk).

Only “absolutely fantastic”? Must have been off his game (Josh is amazing).

DSL Baseball: Come for the bombs, stay for the walk-off celebration with bat slams and dog piles! (Seriously though, this is a fun team to watch and Beltre has been en fuego) - Follow our PD channel for more highlights, as there should be plenty more coming.
Eduardo Beltré, the No. 39 intl. prospect by @MLBPipeline, hit a HR (102 mph) and a walk-off single in the DSL Twins win 💣 In 11 games this season, he is slashing .375/.545/.688 (1.233 OPS) with 3 HRs, and 11 walks to 5 strikeouts‼️ He has the 2nd best OPS in the DSL (min. 10 GP) out of all players age 17 or younger (301 total players)📈 #MNTwins

So, I guess it's out there now, so I'm going to talk about it, as I really don't know what else to do here. But last night I got a text at about 2:30am and learned that Steve Albini had passed away. My life is better because he was a part of mine.

He really knew the game well, and we (him, myself and @timmidyett) would talk about it multiple days a week. He'd be amazed about Duran's velocity, or a play someone made, or just the amazing names of players I was seeing in the DR. I'll miss those talks immensely.

There are few people I've ever known who have done things for themselves and others exactly as they saw fit, without a hint of compromise, than Steve Albini. We can all strive to be more like that. Requiscat, you absolute king of a human.

Before going back to the shadows with the Twins, I had a fantastic stint at @fangraphs. There I had a podcast and some famous (in my world) musicians did theme music for it. Now it's available as a limited edition 7" single with proceeds going to a friend in need. Details below.

I just spent three hours combing the greater Campton Hills area for this idiot. I’m physically and emotionally drained. Turns out …. She locked herself in a closet.

Our PD group has a blast with this account and does a fantastic job of keeping Twins fans updated on all of our prospects, all the way down to the DSL. Come for the prospects, stay for the videos and occasional bad jokes.
Down in the DSL, Yency De Jesús put on a show delivering 5 no hit innings 5 IP / 0 H / 0 R / 2 BB / 5 K Over his last 4 games, he has punched out 20 batters which is good for a 9.64 K/9 💥

Last month I finally played Dragon’s Dogma. I named my pawn Hoshoryu. Then Hoshoryu wins the July tournament and earns a promotion to Ozeki. Coincidence? Doubtful. This is a video games and sumo tweet.

Stay safe Chicagoland peeps. We just lost power for a bit here in Campton Hills and the skies are wacky.
