I'm making a fresh carafe of French press at the moment, so why not brew two?

Game 121: diamondbacks @ twins
Okay, so.... This has the potential to be a really good game. The Twins are in playoff positioning again. They're facing off against a legitimate ace in Greinke, but they've got a potential future ace going for them in Berrios.

Rob Augustine played for a couple of years in the Cleveland organization, never rising above Class A. He was (and maybe still is) an assistant baseball coach at Dakota Valley High School in my former home of North Sioux City. Happy birthday, Rob.
We would also like to wish a happy birthday to strategery.
Game 120. Diamondbacks in Minnesota.
Cleveland kneecapped any chance of winning a Division crown. The hope for the rest of the season is to pile stats and maybe stay above .500.
Another day, another new Twins player. Its really getting hard to know who is on the roster and who isn't. Its Kennys Vargas back up? Lew Ford? Kent Hrbek? who knows!! I do know Mitch Garver comes to town. Hopefully he gets playing time.
Ervin Santana goes tonight. We got a chance.
