At work, I'm now the guy who's worked in so many departments that the walkie is constantly abuzz with people seeking my help. It's satisfying, but wow, does it get tiring.

Game 114: Tampa Bay 7, Minnesota 3
They lost again today, their fifth in a row. Needless to say, they were swept in a 3 game series by the Devil Rays. Diamond picked up a no decision, Burnett took the loss. Morneau hit a 2-run homer, his 16th and Span injured his shoulder on a sprawling attempt at a catch in short center. MRI for him is pending...which means he'll be on the shelf for a couple of days, they'll run him out there on Wed or Thurs, and then figure out that he he's injured or tore something and will end up on the DL for an additional 15 days. OR maybe he's fine.
The Twins are now 49-65, tied with Kansas City for last in the AL Central (13.5 games behind the Chicago White Sox).

August 12, 2012: Sleep Deprivation
No matter how late I work or stay up, I wake up at the same time. I'm wrecked.
Game 113: Twins and Rays
Abandon all hope, ye who enter here.
Blackburn (5-7, 5.73 FIP, -2.4 k/9) vs. Price (14-4 3.19 FIP, occasionally strikes people out)
Judging simply by the matchup, this one looks like it might be hard to pull off a victory.
