Loading... August 28, 2013: Single Days Off
Yesterday I had another instance of just one day off...it's been rare to get two in a row lately. Does anyone else who gets those waste them by thinking of the next day of work all day long? Maybe I'm just sick of my job.

Paul Bowa is the father of Larry Bowa and the grandfather of Nick Johnson. He was a minor league infielder who reached as high as AAA, and later became a minor league manager in the St. Louis Cardinals’ organization.
We would also like to wish a very happy birthday to bhiggum.
Game 130: If it weren’t for the White Sox…
Sheilds (8-8, 3.22 ERA) vs. Correia (8-10, 4.52 ERA)
We've come back around to play the Royals again at the friendly confines of the heat soaked Target Field. I expect big things, really. Fortunately, the White Sox exist, as even with a recent hot streak, they've kept a few games back of the Twins, preventing the dread "last in the crappy AL Central" title to be bestowed upon the Minnesotans. I'm also told that Joe Mauer is eligible to come off the DL from his concussion, but won't be back just yet. So, things are looking level!
Anyway, I haven't really been able to pay a whole lot of attention the past few days. The good news is that the bauble got out of the PICU yesterday and has been steadily getting better. Hopefully he can come home in a few days and I can keep closer tabs on the race to the bottom.
