July 5, 2013: Fireworks
The benefit of a young child's short memory is that everything seems new. "This is the first time I've ever seen fireworks!", Sour Cream insists. Okay then!
Minor Details: Games of 7/3
Byron Buxton is tearing up the FSL. Miguel Sano not so much in AA. Andrew Albers with another strong start. Lots of offense for everyone except New Britain.
Game something or other: Yankees at Twins
or in other words, an automatic win for the visitors

Best remembered as the founder of the Harlem Globetrotters, Abe Saperstein was a long-time executive in what were then known as the Negro Leagues.
Peter Angelos has been the owner of the Baltimore Orioles since 1993.
George Steinbrenner was the owner of the New York Yankees from 1973 until his death in 2010.
The staff of Happy Birthday would like to wish everyone a happy and safe Independence Day.
Game 81: Evil Empire at Unwitting Patsies
Sabathia vs. Walters. This would be one of those games where I would actually expect the Twins to win just because they shouldn't, which is the beauty of baseball. However, it is the Yankees and so this can only end one way.
We're halfway through the season and the Twins are about where we thought they would be. At least we can look forward to Gibson starts now (like tomorrow), so there's that.

WGOM Radio – Mags interviews Spoons (and vice versa, reposted)
That's Magoo interviewing me. Coincidentally, we talk a lot about things I talked about in the CoC today. Acting, writing, moving around.
That's me interviewing Magoo. A lot of you heard it already, but if you haven't, now you can. We definitively answer the question of what creates a roaming heart that must travel. Or maybe we just half-bakedly BS about it.
