I get the argument about Americans not getting the scoreless draw, but man, I about had a heart attack during the Man U - Chelsea match yesterday.

The Red Wings continue to collapse as Twins affiliates lose the only games that matter. Miguel Sano had a big day for New Britain. Stephen Gonsalves continues to impress in Elizabethton.

It is reported that Angel Hernandez has been a major league umpire since 1993. We continue to search for evidence of this.
We would also like to wish a happy birthday to spookymilk’s sister and to Can of Corn's little Kernel.
August 26, 2013: She Made It
My sister lived fast for a lot of years, and I wasn't sure she'd ever see 22 years old, as she is today. She's mellowed out some, although some Facebook snooping suggests that her new(ish) boyfriend is a hard partier...sigh.
2013 Game 129: Twins at Indians
Scott Kazmir, still kind of serviceable, faces Mike Pelfrey, still kind of not. The Twins need to go 16-18 to reach my preseason hopes of going 73-89. There's really not much left to see this season outside of September callups and the bizarre and fantastic (though likely temporary) comeback of Justin Morneau, but I'm off today, so I may as well see what the Twins are up to. I'll probably favor playoff-implicating games before long, though.
Minor Details: Games of 8/24
Rochester may be playing for the wild card. The playoffs are slipping away from Elizabethton. The GCL Twins are eliminated.
