Excellent pitching by Liam Hendriks, Tim Shibuya, and Hein Robb. A circus play gives the E-Twins all the runs they need. Josmil Pinto hits his first AAA home run.

Typhoon – The Honest Truth

There are a lot of folks playing in this band. They have a new album, White Lighter, set to drop today, I'm not sure if I'll be buying, but I thought I'd let y'all know. If this is your bag you can see them live at the Cedar Cultural Center on September 19. Free'll have to provide the presale.

2013 Game 123 Recap: Twins 1, NY Mets 6
Remember when interleague baseball used to be fun? A yearly ritual in which that National League was shamed before their American League betters?
Yeah, me neither.
Gibson continues to make the case to be shut down for the season, while the Twins lineup appears to have already done that.
The next three games are in Detroit. It might be better to focus on how well Mauer is doing, or whether Swarzak can perfect the movement on his sinker. Or the fact that TC Bear could destroy all other mascots in a softball home run competition. You know, the positive things.
2013 Game 123: Metropolitans at Twins
DAY GAME ALERT!
Remember when it snowed in the middle of April and the final game of the Twins series against the Mets got postponed and it seemed like winter was never going to end and a few days later it snowed again and I got appendicitis and shoveled snow anyway and my appendix ruptured and it hurt like bloody hell and I had to have emergency surgery? Well, it happened whether you remember it or not, and I've got the scars to prove it. Today the Twins and Mets are going to play that postponed game and the Mets have a chance to sweep a series that they won more than four months ago by taking the first two games at Target Field. The Twins send Kyle Gibson to the mound. If he sucks again, I'm demanding an immediate MRI. The Mets counter with Dillon Gee, who doesn't suck but doesn't exactly sparkle like unicorn farts, either.
Play ball!

Some less familiar names, with one notable exception.
Patti Smith — You Light Up My Life
O.k. I like the Who just as much as the next guy but 4 days is just too much. I got more of these if more videos aren't posted.

Logan Darnell does darn well. So does Josue Montanez. Stephen Gonsalves continues to impress.

We would also like to wish a happy birthday to strategery.
Third Monday Movie Day
I had vowed to see fifteen movies in the span between the last movie day and this one, and I got close enough, considering the poor output of the past several months. I saw eleven, so I'm gonna go ahead and put them in a list.
