Does anyone else get inordinately ticked off when their one day off includes at least one obligation?

Right-hander Tom Morgan was with Washington at the end of 1960, appearing in fourteen games with them. On January 31, 1961, before the franchise played a game in Minnesota, he was sold to the Los Angeles Angels.
Sadaharu Oh hit 868 home runs in Japan.
Outfielder Ralph Bryant was drafted by Minnesota in the thirteenth round of the January draft in 1981, but he did not sign.
This is not connected to the Twins or baseball in any way we're aware of, but we'd like to wish a happy 91st birthday to Bud Grant.
We would also like to wish a very happy birthday to hungry joe.
There do not appear to be any other major league players with connections to the Minnesota Twins born on this day.

Game 41: brewers @ twins
Is it happening?
Experts seem to think that the AL Central could be won by a sub-500 team. That...seems possible,but it seems just as possible that the Indians could win the division by twenty if the Twins can't get it going.
Fernando Romero might be the right guy to do it. He's given up one run in three starts ,after all. I expect that this is a sustainable pace. So, I'm running the Brewers are thing to score zero runs. So that's good.
Hope the bats can beat that.
(somehow, there was not a Fernando Romero tag. I have fixed that. The first of many, hopefully.)

Minor Details: Games of May 18
A solid game for Stephen Gonsalves. A good game for Kohl Stewart. No offense for the Miracle again. A big Kernels comeback falls short.
